This is identical with our Pure Bone

 fine dust or flour, makiuir it especially 

 valuable for use in liquid form oi for 

 mixing with other fertilizers when 

 quick action is required.

BLOOD AND BONK 



Preferred by many of our best and largest growers owing to 

 its great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 

 makt-s it quick acting. 



It is a miztute of pure tankage or blood and the best grade of 



Bone Meal in proportions to stimulate root action and bring out the 

 best color in the blooms.

One of tbe most effective of ferti- 

 lizers and largely used by the best 

 growers, both as a top dressing and 

 in the mariure tanks. Tbe raw mater- 

 ial for Hunt's Sheep Manure is the 

 droppings taken from solid floor sheep 

 corrals. Ordinary manures are 

 largely shoveled up fr< m tbe ground 

 and contain a large proportion of soil 

 for which you pay. but from which 

 you get nothing except possibly weed 

 seed. A trial Older will convince the 

 most skeptical of the superiority of 

 our brand.

favorable season blooms may be had from 

 these seedlings the first autumn. 



"While some prefer sowing the seeds 

 of the St. Brigid anemones in frames, 

 in boxes, or pans," says a writer in a 

 British gardening journal, "I prefer 

 sowing in beds in the open, and, with 

 a little precaution, the results are even 

 better, although the seedlings may be a 

 little later in appearing, and by thus 

 sowing the plants may be left undis- 

 turbed and covered in autumn with a 

 frame for winter and early spring bloom. 

 This necessitates either very thin sow- 

 ing or severe thinning out of the seed- 

 lings at an early stage. Of the two 

 the thin sowing is preferable, but from 

 the woolly character of the seed it is 

 not easily done. An old method, and 

 one as good as anj', is to rub the seeds 

 well among dry sand to separate them 

 as much as possible. The beds should 

 be well dug, and if for permanent or 

 senii-permancnt occupation, ought to be 

 manured with thoroughly rotted manure 

 from the cowhouse. The soil must be 

 fine on the surface, and not in a wet 

 condition when the seeds are sown. Some 

 sow them broadcast, but I prefer shallow 

 drills, in which the seeds are sown and 

 covered with about a quarter of an inch 

 of fine soil, the surface being gently 

 pressed with a spade or a piece of board. 

 Unless the weather keeps dry, watering 

 is best left to the rain, but if dry a 

 gentle watering, sufficient, however, to 

 soak the soil, may be applied. The beds 

 may be shaded by means of a few 

 branches, trees, or shrubs, but should not 

 be densely covered.

if it has become caked, may lift with 

 the springing of the seedlings, and 

 should this take place it should be 

 watered to settle the earth about the 

 young plants. These need only to be 

 slightly shaded from strong sun until 

 they have made some of their true leaves, 

 when, if too thick, all, or a portion, may 

 be transplanted. The best time to sow 

 in the open is in the end of March or 

 the beginning of April, if the weather 

 is favorable." 



The soil for the St. Brigid anemones 

 should be one which is fairly rich, and 

 they thrive excellently under the partial 

 shade of deciduous trees, such as fruit 

 trees. 



Frequent renewal of the St. Brigid 

 anemones from seeds is highly desirable, 

 as by this means finer plants and flow- 

 ers will be produced than from old 

 tubers. 



Alvin, Tex. — The jasmine season is 

 on in full blast now and thousands are 

 being shipped from here daily. Dealers 

 are overrun with orders and find it dif- 

 ficult to fill them, so great is the demand 

 for these flowers. The crop is fine this 

 season and the flowers are extra large 

 and fragrant.
