TESTIMONIAL. 
“ The Gardens, Burghley, Stamford, 
“ September 11th, 1884. 
“ Gentlemen, —I have received the Garden Frames, and 
I am quite delighted with them. They are really well got up, 
well timbered, and the sides and ends being grooved, will 
prevent (hat objectionable swaging so prevalent in these kind 
of boxes. I shall certainly recommend them to my brothers in 
the trade.—R. GILBERT, Head Gardener to the Marquis of 
Exeter.”

SHE, The Enthusiast- 
Oh ! tell me why my flowers droop, 
Why leaves and blossoms fade, 
Although the Florist sent them home 
In gorgeous bloom arrayed. 
I ’tend to them with constant care. 
And water them each day 7 , 
They have sunshine and purest air, 
And yet they fade away ! 
HE, The Philosopher- 
Fair Maid, your plants shall bloom again. 
But first I’ll tell the cause ; 
They pine for want of nourishment— 
Rich Chemical Manures. 
You foolishly hut water gave. 
The Florist he was wiser; 
He gave them food as well as drink— 
Use TOBIN’S FERTILIZER. 
TOBIN’S MAGIC FERTILIZER 
Is a highly concentrated Chemical Manure, and a small tea¬ 
spoonful sprinkled over the surface of the soil ACTS LIKE 
MAGIC, changing weak and straggling stems into sturdy and 
vigorous growth and wealth of blossom. It is equally invalu¬ 
able for Rose Culture, the Hot House, Conservatory, Window 
or Kitchen Garden.
