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 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 fertihzers 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 Massachusetts, Vermont, New 

 Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut.
