 nure. It should be sown broadcast in the Spring or Fall, and if 

 possible should be applied in dull weather, but if used during 

 warm weather, soak down with a hose after applying. A 10 lb' 

 package is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 feet; 800 to 1000 lbs. per

CANADA HARDWOOD ASHES. 



Ashes lack ammonia and phosphoric acid, but, contain potash 

 and lime, which are essential, not only as plant food, but also as 

 sweetners of the soil and solvents of other plant food ingredients 

 So far as they supply potash and hme, 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. Price, 

 100-lb. bag, $2.75; ton, $45.00 In car-load lots, minimum 20 tons, 

 at $40.00 per ton in bulk delivered at any freight station in Massa- 

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

 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, $1.50; 500 lbs., $7.00; ton,
