FARQUHAR'S LAWN AND GARDEN DRESSING. 



The best fertilizer in the market for all garden and farm crops. 

 It is as dry and fine as meal; made of dried, finely pulverized 

 blood, bone, potash and refuse meat. The mixture is in such good 

 mechanical condition that it can be applied conveniently by any 

 one. For lawns it is most excellent, being not a stimulant merely, 

 but a plant food of lasting, enriching properties. When forming a 

 new lawn use from 800 to 1000 lbs. per acre. Quantity required 

 for renovating an old lawn : 400 to 500 lbs. per acre.

 manuring, cropping, and present condition of the land. Price,

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 

 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 experi- 

 ments 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" fertihzers, and the several grades furnish complete plant 

 food in the best forms for all crops grown. 



Bradley's Fertilizers are sold in original bags only.

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

 manure, and has long been recognized as one of the most bene- 

 ficial. As a top-dressing for lawns it is unequalled. For lawns 

 it should be used at the rate of 500 to 800 pounds per acre. As

PURE CANADA UNLEACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. 



Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but contain potash 

 and hme, 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 

 100-lb. bag, $1.50; 200 lbs., $3.00; ton, $25.00. In car-load lots, 

 minimum 20 tons, at .$20.00 per ton in bulk or $23.00 per ton in 

 100-lb. bags deUvered at any freight station in Massachusetts, 

 Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and to 

 any station in Maine except points on the Maine Central R.R. 



LAND LIME. 



This lime is specially prepared for use on the soil and is a com- 

 bination of calcium hydrate and calcium carbonate, finely pulver- 

 ized. Lime is essential as a plant food and as a corrective for 

 improper condition of the soil. It also acts as a neutralizer for acid 

 soils. Quantity Required: Heavy soils, 2000 to 6000 lbs. per acre. 

 Light sandy soils, 1000 to 3000 lbs. per acre, according to their 

 apparent need. Price, per 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 500 lbs., $5.00; ton,
