DON'T STARVE YOUR PLANTS 
Plants will sometimes live in any 
old soil with ordinary fertilizer, but 
J ifyou want them to look thrifty, have 
a fine green foliage,make vigorous 
growth and bloom profusely, 
use BONOR A, the natural plant 
food. When you buy ordinary fertil- 
izer only about one-fourth dissolves 
and is used by the plants and a very 
small part of that is what the plant 
needs. 
BONORA is not any old thing 
ground up and sold as a fertil- 
< er izer, but is the result of a life time 
28 2S . study bya noted jocuman enemise 
= . tis a compound of chemicals in just 
BonorA Guemicat C0 | the proportions needed by the plant, 
sa anditall dissolves and is all used by 
the plant. 
It is endorsed by Luther Burbank 
and Eben Rexford and all leading 
florists. Trial package, making 28 gals, postpaid, for6sc. Larger 
package, making 140 gals., by express, $2.50. Prices for larger

FARMING 
FOR 1907 
LMANACS are the oldest form of 
agricultural literature. When Ben- 
jamin Franklin issued “ Poor Rich- 
ard” in 1733 a host of them was 
already in existence. To-day they are as 
much a part of a real farmhouse as the 
haircloth sofa or a copy of Bunyan’s ‘“ Pil- 
grim’s Progress.” 
Our reason for publishing the “ Farming 
Almanac for 1907 ” is the same that induced 
us to publish Farming when there were 
already 435 agricultural papers in the field. 
The instant success of farming demon- 
strates what was clear to us in advance, 
that while there was no room at the bottcm 
of the ladder, there was plenty at the top. 
Either the multitude of other almanacs 
will have to come up to our standard, or 
we shall have the field all to ourselves. It 
will be bigger and better even than we first 
contemplated. Just glance over these con- 
tents and tell us honestly if you don’t want 
a copy of it.
