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 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 wereturn them in the shape of ashes. Pure 
wood ashes is one of the best fertilizers for top-dressing 
lawns, grass lands, and seeding down; also for fruit of all 
kinds, especially strawberries, peaches, and apples. They 
are exceedingly valuable for lawns, imparting a rich dark 
shade of green, destroying insects and bad weeds, par- 
ticularly moss, which is so common on lawns. 100-lb.

BRADLEY’S POTATO MANURE 
For Growing Smooth, Sound Potatoes of the Best Quality 
without Barnyard Manure. 
It is admitted by successful potato growers that a good 
commercial fertilizer is indispensable in raising potatoes 
of the best quality and free from rot or scab. 
Bradley’s Potato Manure is in no sense a theoretical or 
experimental mixture. It is prepared from formulas 
which repeated fedd-tests have proven to produce the 
largest crops of smooth, sound, and handsome potatoes. 
It is finely ground and very dry; it will, therefore, 
work perfectly in any planter. 
BRADLEY’S COMPLETE MANURES FOR ALL 
CROPS. 
Specially Adapted to Intensive Farming and Market 
Gardening. 
These manures are the richest and most effective fer- 
tilizers sold, as has 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 inany machine. 
They are divided intoclasses, based upon exhaustive field 
tests, and not upon theoretical experiments of the labora- 
tory, 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, 
*‘complete ” fertilizers, and the several grades furnish 
| complete plant-food in the best forms for all crops grown.
