FARQUHAR'S LAWN FERTILIZER. 



A strictly high grade fertihzer; highly concentrated, and con- 

 taining all the elements needed for the perfect development of the 

 lawn. The use of Farquhar's Lawn Fertilizer for top-dressing 

 does away with the practice of covering the lawn with stable ma- 

 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 

 acre. 



Price per ton, $75.00; 100 lbs., $4.25; 50 lbs., $2.50; 25 lbs., 

 $1.50; 10 lbs., 90 cts.

 broadcast. The quantity depends upon the previous manuring, 

 cropping, and present condition of the land.

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 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.
