PURE BONE FLOUR. 



This Bone Flour that we offjr is absolutely pure, and if used 

 to fertilize House Plants, when mixed with the soil in potting, 

 should be used at the rate of one part Bone Flour to fifty parts 

 soil; or when used for Fruit, Flower, or Vegetable crops, in the 

 open ground, it should be sown about as thickly as sand or saw- 

 dust is strewn on a floor — it must then be thoroughly mixed in 

 through the soil to a depth of 8 or 10 inches. When used in 

 hills for Tomatoes, Melons, Cucumber, Corn, etc., it should first 

 be mixed with leaf mold from the woods, street sweepings, or 

 common garden soil, at the rate of about one bushel of Bone 

 Flour to three bushels of either of the others; and about one 

 pint of this mixture, well mixed through the "bill," will be 

 amply sufficient to give an excellent crop of any fruit or vegeta- 

 ble in general use. When wanted for Lawns, it should be com- 

 pounded in the same way, and sown about as thickly as sanding 

 a floor, and a rapid growth and rich verdure will quickly be 

 seen. 



Price, for 5 lb. package, 50 cents. Price, for 10 lb. package, 80 



cents. Price, for 25 lb. package, $1.50. 



Quantities of 50 and 100 lbs. and over, at 5 cents per lb. 



PURE GROUND MEAL. 



A particularly good quality, coarser in appearance than the 

 Bone Flour offered above, but, like it, it is also perfectly pure. 

 $2.50 per 100 lbs., or $42.00 per ton of 2000 lbs. 



GROUND BONE. 



We offer a very fine article for $35.00 per ton, or a sample bar- 

 rel of about 250 lbs. for $5.00. 



THE BLOOD AND BONE FERTILIZER. 



This is manufactured entirely from the blood and bones of the 

 animals slaughtered at the immense Abattoirs near Jersey City, 

 N. J. This district is close to the largest market gardens in 

 the vicinity of New York. These gardens are owned by men 

 whose knowledge and experience in the matter of fertilizers are 

 equal to any in the country, and all, without exception, testify 

 to its great superiority over every other fertilizer tried. This 

 unanimous approval is undoubtedly from the fact that the arti- 

 cle manufactured is pure blood and bone — nothing more. That 

 it will be to the interest of the Company to make it continu- 

 ously so, there is no doubt. They are located in the midst of 

 hundreds of men who, if the article is purely made, will be pro- 

 fitable buyers, while if adulteration was attempted, in the 

 hands of such " experts " it would be at once detected. 



We offer it in quantities to suit large or small buyers, at the 

 following reduced rate: 

 Price, 100 lbs. to 500 lbs., $4.00 per 100 lbs. Delivered in New 



York. 

 Price, 500 lbs. to 1000 lbs., $3.00 per 100 lbs. Delivered in New 



York. 

 Price, 2000 lbs., or 1 ton, $2.75 per 100 lbs. Delivered in New 



York. 



PERUVIAN GUANO. 



Guano is one of the best and most powerful stimulants for 

 plants and growing crops. One pound of Guano to twenty gal- 

 lons of water will be sufficiently strong for a single watering, 

 each week, and more efficient than repeated waterings with 

 weaker solutions. Price, for 2 lb. box, 25 cents ; for 5 lb. box, 

 50 cents; per bag of about 160 lbs., 5 cents per lb. 



SULPHUR (Flowers of.) 



Sulphur is now considered indispensable in all greenhouse 

 and grapery work. It is perhaps best applied by the Sulphur 

 Bellows, which now come very reasonable in price. 

 15c. per lb., or 10 lbs. for $1.00. 



SULPHUR BELLOWS. 



This is a simple bellows used to blow the "flowers of sul- 

 phur," just alluded to, on Boses and other plants subject to 

 mildew. In our own greenhouses we have had one in use for 

 the past two seasons, and by blowing the sulphur on the leaves 

 once a week, as a. preventive, we have not had a speck of mildew 

 either on our Boses or Grape Vines, both of which we grow in 

 large numbers under glass. Price, $2.00 each. 



WHITE HELLEBORE POWDER. 



Largely used for destroying rose bugs, caterpillars and worms 

 that infest flowering and fruit plants out of doors. 50c. per lb. 



WHALE-OIL SOAP. 



Excellent for destroying and preventing insects on plants, 

 vines, etc. ; 



2 lb. packages, 35c. ; 5 lb. box, 80c. ; 10 lb. box, $1.50. 



GISHURST COMPOUND. 



An English Preparation, highly recommended for preventing 

 and destroying Rid Spiders, Mealy Bui}, Thrip, Green and Brown. 

 My, etc.; also for winter dressing, and washing walls, frames 

 and sashes of greenhouses. 



Price, per box, $1.00. 



JACQUES' SAPO TABACUM, OR TOBACCO 

 SOAP. 



A universal remedy for the pests of gardens and nurseries, 

 etc. The most convenient and cheap specific for the destruction, 

 of insects, parasites, and their eggs, infesting plants. 

 Price, 50c. per lb.; 5 lbs. for $2.00. 



TOBACCO DUST. 



Per lb. 10c. 



HORACE'S TOBACCO AND HELLEBORE 

 INSECTICIDE. 



IN PATENT BELLOWS BOX. 

 For Rose Bugs and other Plant Infesting Insects. 



The best article of the kind we have seen. 

 The box forms a durable bellows, which enables the insecti- 

 cide to be very efficiently applied. 



Price, 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen.
