"MAPLE BRAND" 



Canada Hard Wood Ashes. 



A CLEAN, COMPLETE MANURE 



That can be applied to the lawn and garden, having all 

 the advantages without the offence and inconvenience 

 attending the application of stable manure. They are 

 Nature's Complete Fertilizer. They make new soil out 

 of worn-out lands. They produce no unhealthy or 

 offensive odors. They are easy to handle. Liberal 

 application of Wood Ashes to lawns and grass lands will 

 produce that close, velvety sward so much desired, and 

 will, at the same time, be very active in exterminating 

 white grub and army worm. I guarantee my Ashes to 

 be strictly pure, and to contain full amount of potash 

 and phosphoric acid. Thev are nicely screened, and 

 delivered in carload lots, in bulk, bags or barrels. Write 

 for free pamphlet and price delivered at your station.
