FERTILIZERS. 



FARQUHAR'S LAWN AND GARDEN DRESSING. 



A good Fertilizer for all garden and farm crops, dry and fine as meal. 

 The mixture is in good mechanical condition so that it can be applied 

 conveniently by any one. For lawns it is most excellent, being not a 

 stimulant merely, Ijut a plant food of lasting, enriching properties. 

 When forming a new lawn use from 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Quantity 

 required for renovating an old lawn; 400 to 500 lbs. per acre. Analysis. 

 Am. 4 per cent. Av. Phos. A. 8 per cent. Pot. 7 per cent. 



Price, per ton, $70.00; .500 lbs., $18.50; 100 lbs., $4.00; 50 lbs., $2.50; 

 25 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., 90 cts. 



Farquhar's Fine Ground Bone. This is made from the best quality 

 of bone, finely pulverized by improved machinery. It is far superior 

 to some ground bone in the market, which is often composed of refuse 

 bones from which the plant good has been largely removed in manu- 

 facturing glue and other products. Price, per ton, $60.00; 500 lbs., 

 $16.00; 100 lbs., .$3.50; 50 lbs., $2.00; 25 lbs., $1.25; 10 lbs., 70 cts. 



SHEEP MANURE. 



A soluble plant-food highly recommended for all purposes where 

 a first-class fertilizer is required. It is a pure, natural manure, and 

 has long been recognized as one of the most beneficial. As a top-dress- 

 ing for lawns it is unequalled. For lawns it should be used at the rate of 

 500 to 800 pounds per acre. As a fertilizing agent for plants indoors 

 and in the open garden, it is one of the very best. Price, ton, S55.00; 

 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.85; 25 lbs., .11.35; 10 lbs.. 70 cts.; 5 lbs., 40 cts. 



CANADA HARDWOOD ASHES. 



Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash and 

 lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as sweeteners 

 of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredients. So far as they 

 supply potash and lime, they are "nature's plant food." These things 

 have been extracted from the soil by the trees, and now we return them 

 in the shape of ashes. Pure wood ashes is one of the best fertilizers for 

 top dressing lawns, grass lands, and seeding down, imparting a rich, 

 dark shade of green; also for fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, 

 peaches and apples. 100-lb. bag, $2.75; ton, $45.00. 



Clay's Fertilizer. A lasting, productive, economical fertilizer for 

 all horticultural purposes. A reliable vitalizing medium for con- 

 servatory, greenhouse and garden. Highly recommended by leading

 lbs., $1.75.
