Observe the Company’s Signature round the Cork, 
without which none are genuine. 
BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. 
THE AMORTISER we particularly recommend for 
Greenhouses, it being so pleasant for use and for its 
perfume. Its properties for destroying insect pests, 
&c., is equal to our Carbon Paste. We guarantee, if 
used as per directions, it will not injure the most deli¬ 
cate foliage or blooms any more than water. 
P.S.—We highly recommend “ Bray’s ” Spray for light 
work: it is a cork spray and will fit any bottle. It sends a 
very fine spray about 4 feet, and if the rose is removed will 
send it 12 feet with the greatest ease. This is the most useful 
spray we have ever seen, and may be used for many purposes; 
it requires no strength, and a child can use it.
