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 experi- 
ments of the laboratory, the fault of “‘special crop fertilizers”? 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” fertilizers, 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 ack 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 fertilizers 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-Ib. bag, $2.50; ton, $40.00. In car-load lots, minimum 20 
tons, at $35.00 per ton in bulk delivered 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. 
LAND LIME. 
This lime is specially prepared for use on the soil and is a com- 
bination of calcium hydrate and calcium carbonate, finely pulver- 
ized. Lime is essential as a plant food and as a corrective for 
improper condition of the soil. It also acts as a neutralizer for acid 
soils. Quantity Required: Heavy soils, 2000 to 6000 Ibs. per acre. 
Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 lbs. per acre, according to their 
apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.35; 500 lbs., $6.50; ton, 
$20.00. In lots of 3 tons or over, $19.00 per ton.
