the powder make 1,400 gallons of fer- 

 tilizer when the requisite quantity of 

 water is added, and this saturated solu- 

 tion applied with hose, or sprinkler, 

 waters and fertilizes the plants at one 

 and the same time. Bonora has the add- 

 ed heneficent quality of both gathering 

 moisture from soil and atmosphere and 

 retaining it for the plant's use — indeed, 

 so great an affinity for moisture has it, 

 it is next to impossible to make it in 

 damp weather. The manager of the 

 Fox Hill Golf Club, at Stapleton, Staten 

 Island, states that he "made two applica- 

 tions of Bonora to 'greens' which had 

 been killed off by frost, and got them in 

 perfect shape for the metropolitan cham- 

 pionship in the middle of May, and that 

 they withstood the summer heat, and 

 came out of the following winter, in first 

 class shape." 



Being instantly soluble. Bonora is im- 

 mediately available. It creates a vigor- 

 ous root action, and thus makes a strong, 

 healthy plant, able to carry its greatly 

 increased load of bloom or fruit. That 

 it does greatly increase crops, both as to 

 quantity and quality, is testified to by 

 Mr. Jacob H. SchifFs gardener at Sea 

 Bright, X. J., who has used it on palms, 

 primulas and glorianas ; he reports that 

 "the first are 70 per cent and the last 

 two 50 per cent improved ; that the palms 

 have a beautiful green foliage, ami that 

 the primulas and glorianas grow larger 

 flowers, and hold them longer." 



That it causes plants to mature with 

 great rapidity is shown by the experi- 

 ment of a prominent United States offi- 

 cial, who tried it on melons and toma- 

 toes ; although he had been three weeks 

 behind his neighbors in planting these, 

 he had them on his table three days ahead 

 of them. Samuel T. Peters's gardener 

 at [slip, Long Island, too. tested it on 

 cauliflowers under glass, one-half only 

 of the bed. however, being treated with 

 I'm mora, and the remainder with the 

 other fertilizers ; the Bonora fertilized 

 cauliflowers were headed up and mar- 

 keted two weeks earlier than the first. 



The Hon. Cornelius Kliss's gardener at 

 I Iceanic, X. J., has carried off prizes with 

 ferns, chrysanthemums and lettuce that 

 owed their triumph to Bonora. He is 

 quite enthusiastic, and says: "1 have 

 been using Bonora for the last two years, 

 and the longer 1 use it and the better 1 

 become acquainted with it the more 1 like 

 it. 1 grow my vegetables under glass 



with this fertilizer with splendid results." 

 Indeed, its effect upon house plants is 

 said by those who have experimented 

 with it to be little short of marvelous. 

 .Mrs. T. P. Shepard, of Providence, for 

 example, reports that she "used it on 

 various greenhouse and stove plants 

 and found the results very pleasing; its 

 effect on palms was really wonderful, 

 giving them an appearance I had not 

 been able to produce with other fer- 

 tilizers." 



Although this plant "elixir of life" has 

 been introduced only about a year and a 

 half, its use has become widely distribut- 

 ed. It is in use at Frederick W. Vander- 

 1 tilt's country seat at Hyde Park-on-the- 

 Iludson; by the Pennsylvania Railroad; 

 on the Eden Trial Grounds at North 

 Middleboro, Mass.; in the Capitol 

 grounds, at Washington; in city parks; 

 in palatial houses here, and, in fact, in 

 wherever horticultural intelligence goes 

 hand in hand with the love of plants 

 and flowers, and wherever agriculture 

 has learned the value of scientific, inten- 

 sive fanning.
