No discovery ever made is so im- 

 portant to growers of flowers, vege- 

 tables, shrubbery, rose bushes, vines 

 and lawns. "BONORA" produces a 

 magical growth. Vegetable growers 

 develop nearly everything raised in 

 the garden to abnormal size, and do 

 it in ten days to three weeks less 

 time. All plants and grasses are 

 made to grow as if in the tropics. 

 Flowers are made to bloom so pro- 

 fusely, and to grow to such sizes 

 as to be taken for new varieties. 

 "BONORA" is used by the leading 

 horticulturists and vegetable grow- 

 ers throughout the country. It will 

 make your lawns look like velvet. 

 Highly endorsed by Luther Bur- 

 bank, Eben Rexford and many

Gentlemen : I take the liberty of telling you of 

 my success in growing- melons and tomatoes with 

 " BONORA." I was fully three weeks behind my 

 neighbors in planting both, and I was using both 

 tomatoes and melons three days ahead of them. I 

 tuink " BONORA " is a great thing for vegetables 

 and intend to use it extensively next season. 



V*ry truly yours, L. MAHL. 



P. S.- It was Mr. Duff, gardener at the United 

 States Capitol. Washington, D. C, who 

 mended ■' BONORA " to me.

Jl Series of Articles on each of the following Subjects: 



( 1 ) The Best Plants for Special Uses. A series of great importance to the 

 amateur, discussing plants from the standpoint of their actual places in the garden, not 

 from a botanical point of view. 



(2) The " Quality Vegetable " Series. This is the first series of articles to 

 focus the attention upon quality from three points of view heretofore absurdly separated, 

 i. e., varieties, cultivation and cooking. 



(3) The Little Monographs of Garden Crops. The first series of articles 

 to explain with the utmost clearness the merits of the different varieties of vegetables in 

 each group. Extremely valuable to those whose garden experience has been limited. 



(4) Series of 10 articles. Complete Planting Plans for Lots of All Sizes, 

 from 25 x 100 to 150 x 150. There are four plans given for each lot, which afford 

 variety and opportunity of combinations to suit the planter's taste. This series is particularly 

 valuable to those who have back or front yards, in cities or in small towns. A novel, 

 but a thoroughly helpful and practical idea.
