FERTILIZERS. 



Curries's Complete Fertilizer for Garden and Lawn — A complete manure, specially adapted for the top dressing of lawns. 

 It is odorless, clean and convenient to use. Sow broadcast, in early spring, just as the grasses are starting into growth; 

 it will be found of great benefit in producing a nice, healthy growth of turf. It is much easier to use than a top dressing 

 of stable manure, which very often introduces a large crop of vile weeds into lawns, besides being very unsightly. Quan- 

 tities required and prices:
