Dunlop, Ashburton and Wellington THIS COMPANY is being formed for the purpose of acquiring from the , vendor the sole patent rights held and ap -1 plied for by him in the above invention in j all parts of the world. j 'I he vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in caßh for the rights acquired by I him, the whole interest in, and the title to j which are handed, .over to the Company. I It is proposed by the promoter* of this I Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage^ and it is confidently 1 anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned apecific which is increasing daily, will realise a. very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can bo safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring. The stem and main branches may be safely dressed at any period of the year. Ona good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years. For Aphis, Red Spider, Coiilin Moth, and all Uosstss or Lichens, Wheelband's Patent Blight Specific will be found a moat effectual remedy. Jt will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlin Moth, increasing the growth and keeping the tree in a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it in gratifying to be able to herein add the yery satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe teats to which the Specific has been subjected. The specific being manufactured under the care and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small cost of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.
