PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. 



Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash 

 and lime, wliich are essential, not only as plant food, but also as 

 sweeteners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredients.

 food." These things have been extracted from the soU by the 

 trees, and now we return them in the shajie 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 in.¥ects and weeds, particularly moss ; also for fruit of
