SHEEP MANURE 



There Is a reason why Wlsard Brand Sheep Manure is more exten- 

 sively used by Florists than any other:— Best for Carnations and Ohryg. 

 anthemums — Best for making bench soil — liquid manurlne— and Hi-id 

 work. Ask for our Orowers' Booklet and know why WUard Brand leails.

BOCHBSTEB, N. H. 



The floral court at the fair never 

 looked more attractive than on the 

 occasion of the big event of September 

 24 to 27. Frank Shorer, who had charge 

 of this department, deserves great 

 credit for the admirable way in which 

 he had everything arranged. Dahlias 

 were shown in large numbers. J. K. 

 Alexander was the largest contributor. 

 Geo. H. Walker, Dighton, Mass., and 

 the Manchester Dahlia Gardens also 

 showed extensive collections. E. A. 

 Carson, of Rochester, and H. E. Meader 

 bad a nip-and-tuck contest in the de- 

 signs, pot plants and many cut flower 

 classes, both showing splendidly. 



H. E. Meader showed one of the 

 grandest displays -of gladioli I have 

 seen this season. All his spikes were 

 remarkably fine. Most of the really 

 good novelties and many standard va- 

 rieties, including some fine seedlings, 

 were included. Mr. Meader 's collection 

 was fit to compete at the Boston and 

 other big shows and would render a 

 good account of itself. W. N. Craig, 

 North Easton, Mass., judged the floral 

 department. James M. Hayes, the cour- 

 teous assistant secretary of the Roch- 

 ester fair, is a keen horticulturist. His 

 specialties are asters, pansies and toma- 

 toes. Of these he sells large quanti- 

 ties at his own establishment. C.

Sheep's Head Brand 

 Sheep Manure 



Can be used easily as a top 

 dressing, in liquid form, or 

 mixed with the soil. 



Will not germinate any 

 weeds. Will not cause black 

 spot. Absolutely the best 

 sheep manure on the market 

 for florists' use, because it is 

 wholly sheep 

 manure. Take 

 n o substitutes.
