BONE FERTILIZERS. 



Decompose slowly in the soil and, therefore, form 

 excellent permanent improvement, being less likely 

 than almost any other kind of manure to waste in 

 rainy seasons, particularly on sandy soils. There is 

 no danger of burning the plants, whether applied as 

 top-dressing or directly to the roots. Excellent for 

 top-dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and 

 field crops. 



Quantity required. For permanent pasture and 

 mowing lands, Vs to 1 ton per acre. For trees and 

 vines, 2 to i quarts each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 

 1,300 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, % to 

 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, 

 pot plants, etc., one part to about £ft,y of soil. 



Ba'W Bone Meal. This is ground very fine, de- 

 composes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser 

 grades, and is, therefore, more quickly beneficial. 



Analysis: 1 ton contains 74 lbs. nitrogen, 170 lbs. 

 phosphoric acid. 2 lbs. potash; all available. 



Price, 1 11?. package, 10c. (or b.v mail. 25c. per lb.):

 $1.00; 50 1b. bag, 11.50; 100 lb. bag, §2.50; 2001b. 

 bag, $4.23 ; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $36.00. 



Ravr Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and 

 particularly adapted for general fertilizing; the finer 

 particles are immediatel,y beneficial, the coarse keep- 

 ing up the suppl.v of plant food for a long period.

Dissolved Bone witli Potash. This is pure, fine 

 bone, treated with a sufficient quantity of sulphuric 

 acid to make it more immediately available for 

 plant food, where quick action is required, and sol- 

 uble potash is added, making it a fine and dry ferti- 

 lizer of excellent mechanical condition for hill and

strictly high-grade, containing all of the elements 

 needed b.v vegetables and flowers for their quick growth, 

 early maturing and perfect development. The ingre- 

 dients are quickly soluble and immediately commence 

 to feed the plants, stimulating them Into health.v, 

 luxuriant growth, and It continues to feed them until 

 the end of the season. 



Highly concentrated, fine, dry and free from objec- 

 tionable odor, easily applied, either before or after 

 planting, b.v sprinkling over the surface of the soil and 

 raking in; or it caubemixed with water (stirring' ne//) 

 and aijplied as a liquid manure. If something espe- 

 ciall.v fine in vegetables or flowers is desired, two or 

 three additional applications, made at intervals, will 

 produce magnificent results. A 10 lb. package is suffi- 

 cient for a space 15x20 ft. for one application, or 500 

 to 600 lbs. per acre. Instructions on each package.

HENDERSONS 



A safe, clean and high-grade fertilizer, free from dis- 

 agreeable odor, prepared especiall.v for feeding ijlants 

 grown in pots. It is a wonderful invigorator, pro- 

 ducing luxuriant, health.v growth, foliage of rich 

 texture and larger and more brilliant flowers. 



It contains in a highl.v concentrated form all of the 

 ingredients of plant food essential to the highest de- 

 velopment of plants and flowers. It is very soluble 

 and is readily assimilated, so that marked improve- 

 ment is usually noticed in ten da.vs' time. It is fine 

 and dry, clean and eas.y to apply, either sprinkled 

 over the surface of the soil as a top-dressing, or dis- 

 solved in water (stirring well). Detailed directious on 

 each package. 



Price, 1 lb. package, sufficient for 25 ordinary sized 

 plants for 1 year, 20c.; or by mail, 35c. 



Pure Pulverized SHeep Manure. 



A pure, natural manure, and most nutritious for 

 plants. Its effect is immediate and lasting. Excellent 

 for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants (one 

 part manure and six parts soil). Strewn over and dug 

 Into the vegetable garden, or placed directly In drills 

 or hills, it promotes a rapid, steady growth until 

 maturity. It makes a rich, safe and quick Liquid 

 Manure; one pound to five gallons of water can be 

 used daily, if necessary, with safety. 



Analysis: 1 ton contains 42 76s. nitrogen, 30 lbs. 

 phosphoric acid, 50 76«. potash.

 before harrowing. For top-dressing grass, nee at 

 least 1 ton per «cre, applied ta tall mr vary earlx 



Special Quotations on large quantities. 



ftStiES. 



Canada TJnleached Hard Wood. Contain all 



fertilizing elements except nitrogen. It drives away 

 insects, improves the texture of the soil, and is indis- 

 pensable for all crops requiring potash ; very bene- 

 ficial for garden and field crops, and is of high value 

 for cabbage, potatoes, onions, strawberries, fruit 

 trees, corn, clover, wheat, beans, grass lands and 

 lawns. 



Analysis: 1 ton contains (no nitrogen) 20 76s. 

 phosphoric acid, 120 lbs. potash; all available. 



Quantity Required. Apply 1 to 2 tons per acre, 

 as one heavy iijiiilh-ntinn will help much more than 

 the same quanta v would, applied in fractions. 



Price, per bbl. of iibout 200 lbs., $2.00; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., in bbls., $18.00. Special prices in bulk. 



NITRATE OF SODfl. 



Valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal 

 to twenty per cent, of ammonia. It is cliiefiy a stimu- 

 lant; it is used in addition to other fertilizers. It is 

 very quick in actionand hastens thematuritj'ofcrops. 



.Analysis: 1 ton contains 150 lbs. soluble nitrogen ; 

 no phosphoric acid nor potash. 



Quantity Required. Being extremely soluble it 

 should not be applied until the plants are above 

 ground, when 100 to 500 76s. per acre, mixed 

 with wood ashes or land plaster, for con venience in 

 applying, are generally used. 



Price, per 5 lb. package, 30c.; 3 lb. package, 50c.; 

 25 lb. bag, $1,25: 50 1b. bag, $2.00; 100 lb. bag, 

 $3.50; per ton, apply. 



Imported Scotcli Sott Goal Soot. 



A stimulating fertilizer, increasing luxuriance of 

 growth, and its soluble dioxide of iron quickly affects 

 the chlorophyll or coloring matter of the foliage and 

 flowers, giving them richness and brilliancy. This 

 grade of soot is also of great value mi.xed in the soil 

 nearthe surfacetodriveaway slugs, grubs, cut-worms, 

 etc. Of great value in gardens troubled with onion 

 and other maggots. 



Quantity Required. Strew it liberally in the 

 drills or hills before the planting. A later application 

 should lie ninde on the surface and raked in. 



Price, 10 lbs., 50c.; 25 lbs., 1.25 ; 100 lbs., $4.00. 



Kainit, or German PotasH Salt. 



Used chiefl.y for its potash value, and it contains 

 about 30 per cent. salt. The combination of these 

 two ingredients renders it useful, when intelligently 

 applied, for destroying insects in the soil, such as 

 slugs, cut-worms, wire-worms, maggots, etc. 



Analysis: 1 ton contains about 260 76s. soluble 

 potash. 



Price, $2,00perl001bs.; forlargerquantitiesappl.y. 



Sulphate of Potash. High grade, the highest 

 and purest form of agricultural potash used in the 

 preparation of fertilizers. 1 ton contains about 

 1.000 lbs. soluble potash. 



Price, $3.50 per 100 lbs.; for larger quantities apply. 



Bone Black, Dissolved. 



One of the principal ingredients suppljang phos- 

 phoric acid, used in the preparation of fertilisers. 

 1 ton contains about 320 lbs. available phosphoric 

 acid. 



Price, $1.85 perlOO lbs.; forlargerquantitiesapply. 



Land Plaster or Gupsum. 



Valuable for soils requiring lime and sulphates; 

 often good on grass-lands and sour soils. The fer- 

 tilizing action is not so much due to its value as a 

 plant food as the power It possesses of absorbing and 

 freeing ammonia, and converting the plant foods of 

 the soil Into soluble form so they can be utilized by 

 the crop. 



Analysis: 1 ton contains about 660 Tbfc. otUme 

 and 980 768. of Sulphuric acid.
