A WONDERFUL PLANT LNTTGORATOR. 



Especial attention is called to the ad- 

 vertisement, on the second cover page 

 of this issue, of "Bonora," the wonderful 

 plant food and stimulant. Tins was dis- 

 covered by an English chemist and has 

 met with the highest praise by all who 

 have tried it. The Conard & Jones Com- 

 pany, the well known nurserymen, write 

 of it as follows; 



"We have made a careful test of 'Bon- 

 ora as a fertilizer for plants grown in- 

 doors, and we can endorse all that you 

 claim for it, as a quick acting, lasting 

 and odorless fertilizer. We can also say 

 it excels all other fertilizers that we have 



tried. It seems to suit all kinds of plants, 

 but as with every other fertilizer the 

 user must be careful not to overdose; 

 some plants stand much more than 

 others, and it is always better to com- 

 mence with small doses, and increase, as 

 experience shows what amount each 

 kind of plant requires." 



Eben E. Rexford thus commends it: 

 "I have still as good an opinion of 

 Bonora as I ever had. We have several 

 old roses in the greenhouse that we have 

 been using it on, and the result is sim- 

 ply wonderful. I have a Marchael Neil 

 growing in a ten-inch pot that, for a 

 long time, simply stood still. Last win- 

 ter, under the influence of Bonora, it 

 made a vigorous growth, and had forty 

 buds and blossoms at one time, and has 

 continued to bloom well ever since. I 

 have La France in the greenhouse, and 

 it has made almost as good a record. 

 At the present time it has twenty buds 

 and blossoms, with more coming. Ferns, 

 callas genistas, heliotropes and geran- 

 iums respond most satisfactorilv to its 

 influence and the best of it is— they do 

 not experience any relapse, as most 

 plants are likely to after being stimulated 

 to vigorous growth with ordinary fer- 

 tilizers. I have an Aspidistra in a 

 twelve-inch pot — a perfect mass of 

 roots, with not a particle of soil show- 

 ing. I have fed this with Bonora, and 

 it is sending up large healthy foliage, as 

 if it had been repotted and given fresh 

 soil and more root-room. ' 



Bonora is also strongly recommended 

 by John Lewis Childs. Luther Burbank 

 and others. 



The "Guide to Nature" desires that 

 its readers procure some of this new pre- 

 paration, experiment with it and report 

 results. W 7 e have discontinued the sale 

 of The Sachs Tablets for use with 

 plants in soil Bonora is far more ad- 

 vantageous and beneficial. Bonora is es- 

 pecially good for house plants, in doors 

 and out of doors, for vegetables of all 

 kinds, etc. Try it and see how it works. 



( I'KOM Tin-: NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.) 



An English chemist has, after thirteen 

 years of incessant and toilsome study and 

 experiment, evolved a formula which is 

 in the opinion of many persons of more 

 intrinsic value to man than the alchem- 

 ist's dream — transmutation of metals — 

 could prove, were it ever realized ; it is 

 one which supplies both food and drink
