Bone Fertilizers. 



These are the true phosphatie manures, containing 

 forty to fifty per cent, phosphate of lime and nitrogen 

 equal to about four per cent, of ammonia. They de- 

 compose 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 land, for garden and field crops ; we can also 

 recommend them highly for florists' purposes, for rose 

 beds, mixing with potting soil, etc. 



Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and 

 mowing lands. %tol ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 

 to i quarts each. For top dressing, 1,000 to 1,500 /6s. per 

 acre. For field and garden crops, % to 1 ton broadcasted 

 and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., I part to 

 about fifty of soil. 



Bone Meal, Flour or Dust. This is ground very 

 fine, decomposes more rapidly in the soil than the 

 coarser grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial. 



Price, 1 lb. package, 10c. (by mail, 15c. per lb. extra). 

 5 lb. package, 30c; 10 lb. package, 60c; 25 lb. bag, 

 $1.25; 501b. bag., $2.00; 1001b. bag, $3.50; 2001b. bag, 

 or barrel, $6.00 ; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $45.00. 



Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and particu- 

 larly adapted for general fertilizing purposes ; the finer 

 particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse keeping 

 up the supply of plant food for a long period. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $3.00 ; 200 lb. bag, $5.00 ; per 

 ton of 2,000 lbs., $42.00. 



Pure Crushed or Coarse Bone. This is largely 

 used for pasture lands, being rather slow but perma- 

 nent in action, and it is also indispensable in the prep- 

 aration of grape vine borders — for fruit trees, small 

 fruits, etc. — where a lasting fertilizer is required. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $3.00 ; 200 lb. bag, $5.50 ; per 

 ton of 2,000 lbs., $45.00. 



BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE. 



Benefits the crops more quickly than with any other 

 form of bone, and on account of its readily available 

 properties promotes early maturity, and it is invaluable 

 for most crops, affording constant nourishment during 

 their entire season's growth. In case of rotation of 

 crop it is nearly as valuable for the last as for the first. 



Quantity required. For garden and field crops, 500 

 to 600 lbs. per acre; for garden crops it is best drilled in at 

 seed-sowing time. For top-dressing grass, 600 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per bag of 200 lbs., $3.75 ; per ton of 2,000 

 lbs., $35.00. 



Henderson's Permanent Pasture Manure. 



Especially intended for use on pasture or mowing 

 lands. 



Quantity required. 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per bbl. or bag of 200 lbs., $6.00, or per ton 

 of 2,000 lbs., $50.00. 



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. In bags of 100 lbs. each, $3.50 ; 

 }i ton, 5 bags, $15.00; per ton, 20 bags, $45.00. In 

 packages of 2 lbs., 15c ; 4 lbs., 25c. ; 10 lbs., 50c. {If by 

 mail, add 15c. per lb. for postage.) 



ROTTED BONE MANURE. 



This is one of the best fertilizers for its price that have 

 ever come under our notice. Mr. Wm. Crozier, who 

 first called our attention to it, states that used on farm 

 crops for mangels, potatoes, turnips, fodder corn, etc, 

 it is one of the most valuable fertilizers that he ever 

 tried. At the low price at which it is sold, it will be 

 seen that it makes an exceedingly cheap fertilizer. One 

 reason why it is sold so low is that it is not ground up 

 as fine as most of the fertilizers that are offered in the 

 market. 



Quantity required. /( should be broadcasted on and 

 harrowed in at the rate of 1,500 lbs. per acre. 



We offer it in two grades, as follows : Plain, 

 $22.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) ; Decomposed with 

 Potash, $24.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



Ashes — Unleached Hard Wood. 



These contain all of the fertilizing elements except 

 nitrogen. Ashes correct sourness in the soil, rendering 

 sandy soils more capable of retaining fertilizers and 

 making clay soils less stiff and more easily worked. 

 They drive away insects, and are indispensable for all 

 crops requiring potash. They are very beneficial for 

 garden and field crops. 



Quantity required. Ashes should be applied in 

 considerable quantities, 1 to 2 tons per acre, as one heavy ap- 

 plication will help much more than the same quantity would, 

 applied in fractions. 



Price, per bbl. of about 200 lbs., $3.00 ; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., in barrels, $24.00 ; car-load lots of about 20 

 tons, in bulk, at $20.00 per ton. 



LAND PLASTER, OR GYPSUM. 



It is an excellent addition to land requiring lime 

 and sulphates, particularly for such crops as turnips, 

 potatoes, grasses and clovers. Its fertilizing action is 

 not so much due to its value as a plant food, as to its 

 absorbing and fixing ammonia and rendering soluble 

 the inert plant foods of the soil so that the growing 

 crops can take them up. 



Quantity required. Broadcasted and harrowed 

 in, %to\ ton per acre. 

 Price, per bag of 200 lbs., $1.00 ; per ton, $9.00. 



BLOOD AND BONE. 



Manufactured of pure blood and bone. The fertilizer 

 is a very concentrated source of nitrogen yielding am- 

 monia, etc., by gradual decomposition, and, in conse- 

 quence, is superior for prolonged results ; it is of 

 exceptional value for garden crops, for mangels, tur- 

 nips and other root crops, and also for corn, grain and 

 grasses, for fruit trees, small fruits, grape vines, and in 

 fact all kinds of vegetation and all soils, but especially 

 so on light soils. 



Quantity required. When applied broadcast and 

 harrowed in, from % to 1 ton per acre should be used. For 

 garden crops it can be applied in the drill, 300 to 500 lbs. 

 per acre. 



Price, per barrel of about 200 lbs., $5.00; per ton 

 of 2,000 lbs., $45.00. 



NITRATE OF SODA. 



This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, 

 equal 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 fully two weeks, and besides renders the mineral 

 plant food of the soil more assimilable. It is valuable 

 for grain, fodder corn, sugar beets, potatoes, grasses, 

 peas, beans, clover, etc., and is generally an effectual 

 remedy for clover sick land. 



Quantity required. Being extremely 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 generally used, 



Price, per 5 lb. package, 30c; 10 lb. package, 50c 

 25 lb. bag, $1.25 ; 50 lb. bag, $2.00 ; 100 lb. bag, $3.50 

 300 lb. bag, $9.00 ; $55.00 per ton.
