PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. 



Ashes lack ammonia and pho.sphorie acid, but contain potash 

 and lime, wliich are e.ssential, 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 

 fo<xl." 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 strawljerries, peaches and apples. 100-lb. bag,

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 from the very best plant-food mate- 

 rials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are miequalled. 

 They drill jjerfectly in any machine. They are di^^ided into classes, 

 based upon exhaustive field tests, and not upon theoretical experi- 

 ments of the laboratory, the fault of "special crop fertiUzers" 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- 

 l)lete" fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant 

 foo(l in the best forms for all croj)s grown.
