FARQUHAR’S LAWN FERTILIZER. 
A strictly high grade fertilizer; highly concentrated, and con- 
taining all the elements needed for the perfect development of the 
lawn. The use of Farquhar’s Lawn Fertilizer for top-dressing 
does away with the practice of covering the lawn with stable ma- 
nure. It should be sown broadcast in the Spring or Fall, and if 
possible should be applied in dull weather, but if used during 
warm weather, soak down with a hose after applying. A 10 lb. 
package is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per 
acre. 
Price per ton, $78.00; 100 Ibs., $4.50; 50 Ibs., $2.75; 25 lbs.

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 
sweetners 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, 
destroying insects and weeds, particularly moss; also for fruit 
of all kinds, especially strawberries, peaches and apples. Price, 
100-lb. bag, $2.75; ton, $45.00 In car-load lots, minimum 20 tons, 
at $40.00 per ton in bulk delivered at any freight station in Massa- 
chusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut. 
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 lbs. per acre. 
Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 lbs. per acre, according to their 
apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.50; 500 lbs., $7.00; ton, 
22.00. In lots of 3 tons or over, $21.00 per ton.
