Kustic Hanging Ferneries, without Plants, including Glass Shade, $ to .? Hew Bellows Syringe*. A French invention for showering plants with insect-killing liquids, or clear water, operating the same as the well-known perfume sprinkler of the drug stores, and the atomizer, or spray producer, of the surgeons. The liquid to be used is put into the brass globe and the bellows worked ; a fine spray issues in such a copious stream that it is easy to reach every part of the plant and be- ilew it with whatever insect-killing liquid may bo desirable. One great .advantage of this apparatus is economy.
