-where a first-class fertilizer is required. It is a pure, natural

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. 
Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash 
nd lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as 
sweeteners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredi- 
ents. So far as they supply potash and lime, they are “‘nature’s 
plant food.” 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 strawberries, peaches and apples.

BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL CROPS. 
Specially Adapied 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 materials obtainable. In mechanical condition they are 
unequalled. They drill perfectly in any machine. They are 
divided into classes, based upon exhaustive field tests, and not 
upon theoretical experiments of the laboratory, the fault of 
“special crop fertilizers” 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- 
plete” fertilizers, and the several grades furnish complete plant 
food in the best forms for all crops grown.
