 any other fertilizer to waste. With bone there is no 

 danger of burning the plants. Excellent for top- 

 dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and field 

 crops. 



Quantity Required. For lawns pasture and mow- 

 ing lands, § to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines,

 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot 

 plants, etc., one part to about fifty of soil.

 decomposes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser 

 grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.

Prices Subject to Change Without Notice. 



We herewith offer the best fertilizers procurable for the various crops 

 recommended, but all commercial fertilizers for 1916 will be shy in pot- 

 ash, the source of supply having been shut in by the European war. 

 Agricultural experts claim that most soils will retain sufficient potash 

 for another year's crop. However, we advise those of our patrons doubt- 

 ful of their soil's supply, especially if planting crops requiring an abund- 

 ance of potash, to apply in addition to the fertilizer 

 used, not less than 1,000 pounds of wood ashes per 

 acre, or 3 to 5 pounds per 100 square feet. Mucky, 

 and light or sandy soils usua'ly need potash.

. QUANTITY REQUIRED 



For forming a new lawn a 10-pound 

 package is sufficient to go over an 

 area of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 

 1500 pounds per acre, or a smaller 

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. 

 Apply broadcast with machine or by 

 hand as evenly as possible on a quiet 

 day and preferably just before rain. 

 If applied during the summer use half of 

 the quantity and dv.ing rainy weather 

 or water in thoroughly with a hose. 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also re- 

 moves a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxu- 

 riance of a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed, at least once a 

 year, with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean and 

 odorless lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green 

 growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, and a remarkable 

 improvement will soon be observed. . If applied during the summer use half of 

 the quantity and during rainy weather or water in thoroughly with a hose. The 

 use of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does away with the old practice 

 of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, so ofijectiona! ie oi account of un- 

 sightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full of weed seeds.
