 line dust or flour, making It especially

 its great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 

 makes it quick acting.

 the besc color in the blooms.

PULVERIZED SHEEP 

 MANURE 



One of the most effective of ferti- 

 lizers and largely used by the best 

 growers, both as a top dressing and 

 in the manure tanks. A trial order 

 will convince the most skeptical of 

 the supeiiority of our brand. It Is the 

 Pure Sheep Manure. No dirt, no 

 weed seeds, nothing but what will 

 give results. Sheep manure is a per- 

 fect fertilizer, containing all the nec- 

 essary plant foods which are lacking 

 in most soils.

WEALTH IN WORMS. 



Newspapers throughout the country 

 are printing the following story refer- 

 ring to Carl Beers, the well-known 

 florist of Bangor, Me. : 



"By far the most popular bait for 

 all kinds of fishing in Elaine is living 

 earthworms, which have the odor of the 

 ground about them and which seem to 

 be choice tidbits, not only for trout and 

 landlocked salmon, but also for pickerel, 

 perch, Idack ba.ss and, indeed, every spe- 

 cies of foo<l fish that swims in fresh 

 water. As the Maine soil is deficient in 

 humus and lacking in decaying vegetable 

 matter, angleworms are not plentiful. 



"More than ten years ago Carl Beers, 

 a florist of Bangor, went into tlie busi- 

 ness of rearing eartii worms for the pur-

 Tie imported a breed of dark purple 

 worms from Belgium, which were jirolific 

 breeders, though coarse and strong 

 flavored, and later he secured a bo.x of 

 gifint angleworms from India. In tlio 

 course of a few years he was able to 

 supply live worms by the million to liis 

 customers. 



"Those shipped to Boston were sold 

 in job lots for T.l cents a pound. To 

 tlie home customers he .sold worms of 

 nvcrage size for 10 cents a dozen.
