 where a first-class fertilizer 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 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. 

 100-lb. bag, $1.25; 200 lbs., $2.50; ton, $20.00. In car load 

 lots, minimum 20 tons, at $16.00 per ton in bulk or $18.00 per

 chusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut,

 glue and other products. Price per ton in bags, $36.00; 

 500 lbs., S9.00; 100 lbs., $2.50; 50 lbs., $1.35; 25 lbs., .85;

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 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.
