 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, 

 pot plants, etc., 1 part to about fifty of soil.

A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing which we have found to be never-failing in inducing [^ 

 -■^--tX^ } a rapid and rich green growth. It Hhould be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can be put 

 ^p on duringthesummerwithout injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable lmprovementwill 

 . soon be observed. It is in every wav more desirable than manure, which is bo often full of weed seeds. 

 W The use of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns 

 with stable manure, which was so objectionable on account of uusightliness and disagreeable odors. 

 Quantity required. ^ 10 ft. package is sufficient to go over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a new lawn, from 1,000 to 1, 

 the quantity for renovating an old-one. Peice, 5 lb. package, 25c; 10 lb. package, 45c; 25 lb. bag, $1.00; 50 lb, bag, $1.75; 100 lb.
