Use it in your coldframes. It will make your early vegetables tender, juicy and sweet, maturing them 

 two to three weeks earlier. It will make your roses and all flowering plants bloom as if in the Tropics. 

 Read what some of the eminent authorities have to say: 



"We have made a careful test of ' BONORA,' and highly endorse all that you claim for it. We can also 

 say that it excels all other fertilizers that we have tried." Conard & Jones Cu., West Grove, Pa. 



"We have used ' BONORA,' for the past three years and we find that it produces excellent results; in fact, 

 more satisfactory than any plant food we have yet found. We therefore recommend it most highly." 



The Din^ee & Conard Co., West Grove, Pa. 

 "The 'BONORA' you sent me last Fall was received. 1 have found it a powerful and very convenient 

 fertilizer, especially lor plants, greenhouse work, etc' Luther Burbank, Santa Rosa, Cal.
