BRADLEY'S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL 

 CROPS. 



Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market 

 Gardening. 



These manures are the richest and most effective fertilizers 

 sold, as has been abundantly proved by results in the field. 

 They are manufactured from the very best plant-food ma- 

 terials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are un- 

 equalled. They drill perfectly in any machine. They are 

 divided into classes, based upon exhaustive field tests, and 

 not upon theoretical e.xperiments o) the laboratory, the fault 

 of "special crop fertilizers," in which common sense and 

 practical experience are sacrificed for the sake of theoretical 

 bobbies. 



Bradley's Complete Manures are, in the fullest sense, 

 " complete " fertilizers, and the several grades furnish com- 

 plete Plant-food in the best forms for all crops grown.

BONORA. 



A liquid plant food good for all living plants. It invigo- 

 rates, promotes growth, increases the crop and causes it to 

 mature earlier. It encourages, produces, and retains mois- 

 ture, thus enabling the plant to withstand drought. It is a 

 wonderful fertilizer. 



Suggestions for Using Bonora. Use 100 parts of 

 water to one of Bonora for all plant life, vegetables, straw- 

 berries, grasses, palms, hothouse plants, etc., that is, one 

 gallon of Bonora makes 100 gallons. It should be put in a 

 wooden vessel and kept where animals cannot drink it. 

 Sprinkle it on the earth that it may reach the roots, using a 

 surficient quantity to soak through the ground. Do this 

 twice, one week apart, the third application ten da\s after- 

 ward. You can judge for yourself whether another applica- 

 tion IS necessary alter you have seen the results from the 

 second and third sprinklings. The object is to have the 

 fertilizer reach the roots. 



Put up in kegs of i, 2, 5 and 10 gallons, $2.00 per gallons. 



In 25 gallon barrels. Si. 75 per gallon. 



In 50 gallon barrels, $1.50 per gallon.
