HENDERSON'S 

 LAWN ENRICHER 



ROTTEN BONE MANURE. 



This is one of the best Fertilizers for its price that has ever 

 come under our notice. Used on farm crops it is put on broad- 

 cast and harrowed in thoroughly at the rate of 1,500 lbs. per 

 acre, and at the comparatively low price at which it is sold it 

 will be seen that it makes an exceedingly cheap fertilizer. Mr. 

 Win. Crozier, who first called our attention to the Rotten Bone 

 Manure, states, that used on Mangels, Potatoes, Turnips and 

 Fodder Corn, it proved to be one of the most valuable fertilizers 

 that he ever tried. One reason why it is sold at such a com- 

 paratively low price is that it is not ground up as fine as most 

 of the fertilizers that are offered in the market. It will be 

 seen that we offer it in two grades, as follows : 



Plain $20 00 per Ton (2,000 lbs.) 



Decomposed witb Potash . . 22 00 " " 



HENDERSON'S LAWN ENRICHER, 



For New and Old Lawns. 



For many years we have been using in 

 our own grounds a fertilizer which we have 

 found to be never failing in inducing a 

 rapid and rich green growth to the lawn. 

 To meet the wants of hundreds of patrons 

 who desire a clean, portable and conveni- 

 ent lawn dressing, we now offer them the 

 mixture designated as "HENDERSON'S 

 LAWN ENRICHER." 



As a guide for the proper quantity to 

 order, we would state that a 10-lb. pack- 

 age is sufficient to go over an area of 300 

 square feet, either in forming a new lawn 

 or used as a renovator on an old one.

PURE GROUND BONE.— This is 

 moderately fine, and adapted for general 

 fertilizing purposes. The sample we offer 

 is of very fine qualitv, and quite pure. In 

 bbls. of 200 lbs., $5.00 per bbl., or $45.00 

 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



PURE CRUSHED BONE. — A 



coarse article, particularly well adapted for 

 use in the preparation of grape vine bor- 

 ders ; perfectly pure. In bbls. of about 

 250 lbs., $3.00 per 100 lbs., or $50.00 per 

 ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



PURE BONE MEAL.— This Bone Meal is ground very 

 fine, and is well adapted for mixing with soil for potting pur- 

 poses, for which one part of meal to fifty of soil is about the 

 right proportion. It is the same article we use for mixing with 

 moss in our "Moss Mulching" process, and is excellent for 

 top-dressing lawns. Price, in 1, 2 and 5-lb. packages, 10 cts. per 

 lb.; per 10-lb. package, 80 cts.; per 25-lb. package, $1.50.

 $60.00 per ton (of 2,0d0 lbs.) 



BLOOD AND BONE FERTILIZER.— We desire to 

 call special attention to this Fertilizer, which is prepared 

 especially for us, and which we have sold very largely with the 

 most satisfactory results in all sections of the country. That 

 it has met with such unanimous approval is undoubtedly due 

 to the fact that the article manufactured is pure blood and bone. 

 As a great many of our inexperienced customers frequently 

 make inquiry as to the quantity we use of this fertilizer and 

 how to apply it, we would state' that when applied broadcast 

 for such crops as Spinach, Cabbage, Beets, Onion or Celery, 

 from 1 to 2 tons per acre is used, according to the condition of 

 the land. The ground being well plowed, the fertilizer is sown 

 on over the surface, and then harrowed in thoroughly. For 

 seed beds for Cabbage, Lettuce, etc., the same ratio of quantity 

 is used, applied in the same manner. When, 

 however, this fertilizer is used in rows or 

 in hills for such crops as Celery, Cabbage 

 ^4NoJ p^ or Early Corn, from 100 to 200 lbs. per acre 



will be enough, taking care to have it well 

 mixed with the soil in the rows or hills. In 

 bbls. of about 250 lbs., $3.00 per 100 lbs., or 

 $50.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.)

 pable and non-poisonous, and kills all sorts of insects and 

 worms by filling up the pores and acting on the skin. It is so 

 fine it penetrates hidden crevices when blown on with a gun or 

 bellows, and many Southern cabbage growers say it is the only
