ANTHRACITE COAL. 
The British public are only just beginning to ap¬ 
preciate Anthracite Coal for house (in stoves) and hor¬ 
ticultural puposes ; those trying it, should take care 
that no poor quality is supplied, as it is injurious both 
to the health of people and plants (as is also Gas 
Coke) from the sulphur fumes given oft'. 
Should you have difficulty in getting DOBELL'S 
“ True Vi in ” from your own Coal Merchant, write 
diiect to Messrs. DOBELL & Co., Rock Castle Colliery, 
Llandebie, South Wales, for the Analysis and Price List, 
giving the name of station where the Coal is required, 
and whether for malting, hop-drying, or conservatory 
use. " True Vein ” gives off No Smoke and no Sulphur.
