PURE CANADA UNLEACHED 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 haye 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, 
$1.25; 200 Ibs., $2.50; ton, $20.00. In car load lots, minimum 20 
tons, at 316.00 per ton in bulk or $18.00 per ton in 1U0-Ib. bags 
delivered at any freight station in Massachusetts, Vermont, New 
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and to any station in 
Maine except points on the Maine Central R.R. 
PURE 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 food has been largely removed in manufacturing 
glue and other products. Analysis: Nitrogen 2.47 to 3.29, equal 
to Ammonia 3 to 4 per cent.; Phosphoric Acid, 22 88 to 25.17 per 
cent.; Bone Phosphate, 50 to 55 per cent. Price per ton in bags, 
$32 00; 500 Ibs , $8.00; 100 lbs., $2.00; 50 Ibs., $1.25; 25 Ibs., .75; 
10 Ibs., .35.

to one inch in size. Should be used at setting out, mixed witt. the 
soil to the depth of a foot or more. Price, in bags or barreis, 2}

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 fromthe very best plant-food mate- 
rials 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.
