BONE FERTILIZERS 



Contain forty to fifty per cent, phosphate of lime 

 and nitrogen equal to about four per cent, of am- 

 monia. Decompose slowly in the soil, and there- 

 fore, form excellent permanent improvement, 

 being less likely than almost any other kind of 

 manure to waste in rainy seasons, particularly on 

 6andy 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. y% to 1 ton pi r acre. For trees and 

 vines. 2 to 4 quarts each. For top-dressing. 1,000 to 1,500 

 lbs. per acre. For Jield and garden crops. % to 1 ton 

 broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants. 

 etc . 1 part to about fifty of soil. 



Raw Bone Meal. This is ground very fine, de- 

 composes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser 

 grades, and is, therefore, more quickly beneficial.

 per ton of 2,000 lbs., $33.00.

 disagreeable odor, prepared especially for feeding 

 plants grown in pots. It is a wonderful invigorator, 

 producing luxuriant, healthy growth, foliage of 

 rich texture and larger and more brilliant flowers 

 of improved substance.

 the ingredients of plant food essential to the highest 

 development of plants and flowers. It is very 

 soluble and is readily assimilated so that marked 

 improvement is usually noticed in ten days' time. 

 It is fine and dry, clean and easy to apply, either 

 sprinkled over the surface of the soil as a top- 

 dressing, or dissolved in water (stirring well ) 

 Detailed directions on each package 



For Cut Flowers, a pinch of this fertilizer in the 

 water will keep it sweet and wholesome, and pre- 

 serve the flowers from one to three days longer, if 

 half an inch of the stems be cut off daily, which re- 

 moves the callous which forms over the cut ends 

 and allows the flower above to absorb the in- 

 vigorating liquid.

 sized plants for 1 year, 12c, or by mail, 22c; per 

 doz , $1.25.

 ammonia, etc., by gradual decomposition, and, in 

 consequence, is superior for immediate as well as 

 for prolonged results; it is of exceptional value 

 for garden crops, root crops, corn, grain, grasses, 

 fruit trees, small fruits, grape vines, and in fact, 

 all kinds- of vegetation. 



Quantity Required. When broadcasted and har- 

 rowed in. ■ use firom % to 1 ton per acre. For garden

ASHES 



Canada Unleached Hard Wood. Contain all fer- 

 tilizing elements except nitrogen. They drive 

 away insects, and are indispensable for all crops 

 requiring potash. They are very beneficial for 

 garden and field crops, and are of high value for 

 cabbage, potatoes, onions, strawberries, fruit trees, 

 corn, clover, wheat, beans, grass lands and lawns. 



Quantity Required. Apply 1 to'i tons per acre, as 

 one heavy application will help much more than the 

 same quantity would, applied infractions

 to twenty per cent, of ammonia. It is chiefly a 

 stimulant; it is used in addition to other fertilizers. 

 It is very quick in action and hastens the maturity 

 of crops. 



Quantity required. Being extretflely soluble, it 

 should not be applied until the plants are above ground 

 when 100 to 500 ^pounds per acre, mixed with wood ashes 

 or land plaster, for convenience in applying, are gen- 

 erally used.

 or 1 ton per acre.
