The external remedies uie more lum-

Country Gentleman, OF Mr.. Wlsener,
who had used Mr.. oheidon's compost

tile wrong ingredients, and We give him
the benefit of this statement. With our
present In lormation, certificates OF well
known persons" included, we can see
nothing to induce US to recommend any
OF these patented or secret things what
ever. Our doctrine IL constant atteiI-
ton. Ii one loves his trees and looks
alter them, he will not need any ''anni-
