FERTILIZERS, INSECTICIDES, ETC. 
BLOOD AND BONE FERTILIZER. 
We desire to call special attention to this fertilizer, which is prepared especially for us, and which we have sold very 
largely with the most satisfactory results to all sections of the country. That it has met with such unanimous approval is 
undoubtedly due to the fact that the article manufactured is pure blood and bone. As a great many of our inexperienced 
customers frequently make inquiry as to the quantity we use of this fertilizer and how to apply it, we would state that when 
applied broadcast for such crops as Spinach, Cabbage, Beets, Onion or Celery, from 1 to 2 tons per acre is used, according to 
the condition of the land. ‘Ghe ground being well plowed the fertilizer is sown on over the surface and then harrowed in 
thoroughly. For seed beds for Cabbage, Lettuce, etc., the same ratio of quantity is used, applied in the same manner. 
When, however, this fertilizer is used in rows or in hills for such crops as Celery, Cabbage or Early Corn, from 100 to 200 Ibs. 
per acre will be enough, taking care to have it well mixed with the soil in the rows or hills. 
In Bbls. of about 250 Ibs., $3.00 per 100 Ibs., or $50.00 per ton (of 2,000 Ibs). 
Pure Crushed Bone. A coarse article, particularly well adapted for use in the preparation of grape vine borders: 
perfectly pure. -In bbls. of about 250 Ibs., $3.00 per 100 Ibs., or $50.00 per ton of 2,000 Ibs. 
Pure Bone Meal. This Bone Meal is ground very fine, and is well adapted for mixing with soil for potting purposes. 
for which one part of meal to fifty of soil is about the right proportion. It is the same article we use for mixing with moss in 
our *‘ Moss Mulching ’’ process, and it is the best for top-dressing lawns. Price, per 5 lb. package, 50 cts. ; per 10 lb. package, 
80 cts.; per 25 Ib. package, $1.50. Quantities of 50 and 100 Ibs. and over, at 4 cts. per lb.; or $60.00 per ton of 2.000 Ibs. 
Pure Ground Bone. This is coarserin appearance than the above, and adapted for general fertilizing urposes. 
The sample we offer is of very fine quality and quite pure. In bbls. of 200 Ibs.. $5.00 per bbl., or $45.00 per ton of 2,000 Ibs. 
Peruvian Guano, 2 lbs, for $2.00. Per bag of 2001bs., 4 cts. per lb. Price per Ton, on application. 
INSECT DEATH POWDER. 
We have used the Insect Death Powder, forthe past two years in our Green-house Department, and have found, 
when applied by the ** Excelsior Insect Powder Gun,” nothing so effective in destroying Caterpillars, Rose Bugs, Slugs. 
Green-fly, Ants and Thrip, and nearly all other insects attacking plants, whether inside or out. It is also equally effective in 
destroying Cock Roaches, Red Bugs, Red Ants and other insects infesting dwellings. Being composed entirely of vegetable 
ingredients, it in no way injures plants, and rather tends to fertilizethan otherwise. Price, 10 cts., per oz.,; 25 cts., per 14 1b.; 
75 cts., per lb.
