BRADLEY'S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS. 



Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market Gardening. 



These manures have been abundantly proved by results in 

 the field. They are manufactured from the very best plant-food 

 materials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are unequalled. 

 They drill perfectly in any machine. They are divided into classes, 

 based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical ex-peri- 

 ments of the laboratorj"', the fault of "special crop fertiUzers" in 

 which common sense and practical experience are sacrificed for the 

 sake of theoretical hobbies. 



Bradley's Complete Manures are, in the fullest sense, "Com- 

 plete" fertihzers, and the several grades furnish complete plant 

 food in the best forms for all crops grown. 



Bradley's Fertilizers are sold in original bags only.

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 good ingredi- 

 ents. 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 fertihzers for top-dressing lawns, 

 grass lands, and seeding down, imparting a rich, dark shade of 

 green, destroying insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for 

 fruit of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches and apples. 

 100-lb. bag, $2.50; ton, $40.00. In car-load lots, minimum 20 

 tons, at $35.00 per ton in bulk dehvered at any freight station 

 in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Con- 

 necticut, and to any station in Maine except points on the Maine 

 Central R. R.

 soils. Quantity Required: Heavy soUs, 2000 to 6000 lbs. per acre.

 apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.35; 500 lbs., $6.50; ton,
