[2] But as these are apt to get moved, whether by human hands, or by cats and dogs, who take a diabolic pleasure in pulling them out and knocking them over, it is well to make an exact list of the position of each rose on paper.

[5] This rose, which belongs to the group of Damask Perpetual roses, R. Damascena, is still cultivated under the same name. Messrs. Wm. Paul & Son say "this was formerly a favourite group of autumnal roses."

By "CLIMAX" LAWN SAND

which destroys Moss, Daisies, Plantains, and other disfiguring weeds on lawns and greens, at the same time so promoting the growth of the finer grasses that spaces previously occupied by weeds are quickly covered by a sward of fine close-growing grass which will preserve its good colour under conditions of continuous use and drought. It may be applied during dry weather at almost any season of the year.

THE EFFECT	of an application is apparent within a few hours. The weeds blacken and die, but the grass soon recovers its colour.
QUANTITY REQUIRED	28 lbs. will dress from 100 to 150 square yards, according to the number and variety of weeds.
PRICES. Carriage Paid.	Packages free; sample tin 1/3; 7 lbs., 2/-; 14 lbs., 3/6; 28 lbs., 6/-; 56 lbs., 11/-; 1 cwt., 20/-; 5 cwt., 90/-; 10 cwt., 170/-; 20 cwt., £16-10-0.

BY A SINGLE APPLICATION OF

"CLIMAX" WEED KILLER.

The use of which dispenses with hoeing and weeding, and keeps the surface bright and firm. It does not burn, stain or smell offensively. Used in every County during the last fifteen years by Municipal Bodies, surveyors, estate agents, etc.

POWDER WEED KILLER.	Packed in air-tight tins. Mixes readily in cold water without heat or fumes. Equal in effectiveness to the liquid. Convenient to store and handle, it will keep for an indefinite period. Measure to make small quantities enclosed with each order.
PRICES Carriage Paid Tins Free.	No. 1 Tin makes 25 galls. to dress 80 to 100 yards, 2/-; 2 tins 3/6; 12 tins 20/-. No. 2 Tin makes 100 galls. to dress 320 to 400 square yards, 6/6; 2 tins 12/6; 5 tins 28/-; 10 tins 55/-; 20 tins 100/-.

	BY 'ALPHOL'	WHICH IN ADDITION TO PROMOTING THE GROWTH OF PLANTS WILL ALSO DESTROY EVERY VARIETY INSECT INFESTING THE SOIL.
	It is a dry non-poisonous powder which should be freely dug into the soil to destroy wireworm and other larvæ, while for Ants, Slugs, and Woodlice, a light sprinkling on the surface is sufficient. When making up potting soil, manure or leaf mould, an occasional sprinkling will increase the manurial value and also destroy the worms and other insects. By use of 'ALPHOL', ground which previously teemed with insect life will grow splendid crops.

CATS WILL NOT SCRATCH WHERE ALPHOL HAS BEEN USED.

QUANTITY REQUIRED	On medium and heavy land 28 lbs. will dress 250 square yards, or 5 cwt. will dress an acre; on light sandy land, 25% more will be required; for compost and manure heaps 7 to 14 lbs. to each ton.

NOTE.—"ALPHOL" IS ALSO AN EFFICIENT MANURE.
