SHEEP MANURE (Pulverized) — Makes the richest and safest liquid manure. Using 1 pound to 5 gallons of water once a week

 pounds per acre. Price: 100 lbs. $3.50.

NITRATE OF SODA — Used to create a rapid growth and should not be used until plants are well above the ground. Caution 



Being rich in nitrogen, it is quick in action, therefore unless used carefully great harm can be done. Use at the rate of 1 

 pound to every 50 square feet, or scatter it along the row within an inch or so from the plant. In liquid form a tablespoon- 

 ful to 3 gallons of water, taking great care not to get it on to the foliage. Price: 1 lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 65c; 10 lbs $110- 25 

 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $6.50. 



MAGNESIA LAWN LIME — Used to neutralize the soil if sour or acid, especially where the top soil is a heavy clav. On the 

 majority of lawns a 100 lb. sack will cover approximately 800 square feet. On lawns with a very heavy clay top soil 100 lbs 

 to every 600 square feet can be applied. The same conditions rule in treating the vegetable garden. Land thus limed retains 

 its sweetness for a period of two to three years. Price: Put up in two sizes only, 10 lbs. 30c; 100 lbs. $1.75.
