FERTILIZERS. 



Currle'» Complete Fertilizer for Lawns, Hay and 

 Pasture— A complete manure, specially adapted for 

 the top dressing of lawns. It is odorless, clean and

 growth of turf. It is much easier to use than a top 

 dressing of stable manure, which very often intro-

 being very unsightly. This Fertilizer is sold under a 

 guaranteed analysis as provided in the new law 

 passed by the State.of Wisconsin.
