STANDEES 



MANURE 



Established 

 Over 20 Years. 

 Exceeds all others in general fertilising 



properties and staying powers. 



It promotes a rapid, healthy, and robust growth to 

 plants generally. 



It is a clean and dry powder, with very little smell. 



It is consequently particularly adaptable for ladies 

 interested in plant culture. 



The highly fertilising properties of this Manure 

 render its money value, in comparison with 

 other manures, at least double ; and users will 

 find that very small quantities will produce 

 favourable and lasting results. 



Sold in Tins, 1 -, 2 6d, 5 6, and 10 6 each ;
