SPECIAL QUOTATIONS TO THOSE USING LARGE QUANTITIES. SAMPLES MAILED FREE ON APPLICATION. 



BONE FERTILIZERS. 



Contain forty to fifty per cent, phosphate of lime and 

 nitrogen, equal to about four per cent, of ammonia. 

 Decompose 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. 



Quantity required. For permanent pasture and 

 mowing lands, }i to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 

 to 4 quarts each. For top dressing, 1.0U0 to 1,500 lbs. per 

 acre. For field a/tid garden crops, % to 1 ton broadcasted 

 and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., 1 part to 

 about fifty of soil. 



" Quick-acting' " Dissolved Bone Flour. Per- 

 fectly pure, will give immediate and highly satisfactory 

 results for one season. 100 lb. bag, $2.25 ; 200 lb. bag, 

 $4.00 ; per ton, $34.00. 



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

 poses more rapidly in the soil than the coarser grades, 

 and is, therefore, more quickly beneficial. 



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

 6 lb. package, 30c; 10 lb. package, 50c; 25 lb. bag, 

 $1.00 ; 50 lb. bag, $1.75 ; 100 lb. bag, $3.00 ; 200 lb. bag, 

 $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $43.00. 



Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and 

 particularly adapted for general fertilizing ; the finer 

 particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse keeping 

 up the supply of plant food for a long period. 



Pbice. per 100 lb. bag, $2.50 ; 200 lb. bag, $4.50 ; per 

 ton of 2,000 lbs., $38.00. 



Raw Crushed Bone. Slow but permanent in 

 action, indispensable in the preparation of grape vine 

 borders — for fruit trees, small fruits, etc. — where a 

 lasting fertilizer is required. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $2.75 ; 200 lb. bag, $5.00 ; per 

 ton, $43.00. 



BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE. 



Benefits crops quickly, readily available, promoting 

 early maturity, 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. 



ROTTED BONE MANURE. 



An exceedingly cheap fertilizer, and is one of the best 

 for its price ; for farm crops, mangels, potatoes, tur- 

 nips, fodder corn, etc. One reason why it is sold so low 

 is that it is not ground up as fine as most fertilizers. 



Quantity reqiiired. It 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. 



Hendersons 



IFIL®WSRS< 



Strictly high-grade, containing all of the elements 

 needed by vegetables and flowers for their quick growth, 

 early maturing, and perfect development. The ingre- 

 dients are quickly soluble and immediately commence 

 to feed the plants, stimulating them into healthy, luxu- 

 riant growth, and it continues to feed them until the 

 end of the season. 



Highly concentrated, fine, dry and free from objec- 

 tionable odor, easily applied, either before or after 

 planting, by sprinkling over the surface of the soil and 

 raking in ; or it can be mixed with water (stirring well) 

 and applied as a liquid manure. If something espe- 

 cially fine in vegetables or flowers is desired, two or 

 three additional applications, made at intervals, will 

 produce magnificent results. A 10 lb. package is suffi- 

 cient for a space 15 x 20 ft. for one application, or 500 

 lbs. to 600 lbs. for an acre. Full instructions given on 

 each package. 



Price, 5 lb. package, 25c; 10 lb. package, 45c; 25 lb. 

 bag, $1 .00 ; 50 lb. bag, $1.75 ; 100 lb. bag, $3.25 ; per 

 ton, $50.00. 



HENDERSONS 



A safe, clean and high-grade fertilizer, free from dis- 

 agreeable 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. 



It contains in a highly concentrated form all of the 

 ingredients of plant food essential to the highest de- 

 velopment 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 sur- 

 face 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 preserve 

 the flowers from one to three days longer, if half an 

 inch of the stems is cut off daily, which removes the 

 callous which forms over the cut ends and allows the 

 flower above to absorb the invigorating liquid. 



Price, 1 lb. package, sufficient for 25 ordinary sized 

 plants for 1 year, 20c, or by mail, 35c 



Pulverized Sheep Manure. 



A pure natural manure. Its effect is immediate and 

 lasting. Excellent for the vegetable garden ; it promotes 

 a rapid, steady growth until maturity. It makes a rich, 

 safe and quick Liquid Manure. Per 100 lb. bag, $3.00; 

 per }i ton (500 lbs.), $12.00 ; per ton, $40.00. In packages 

 of 2 lbs., 15c; 4 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 50c (If by mail, add 

 15c. per lb. for postage.) 



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 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 

 and all soils, but especially so on light soils. 



Quantity required. When applied broadcast and 

 harrowed in, from J 2 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 100 lb. bag, $2.50 ; 200 lb. bag, $4.25 ; pel 

 ton of 2,000 lbs., $38.00. 



Ashes— Unleached Hard Wood. 



Price, per bbl. of 200 lbs., $2.50 ; per ton of 2,000 

 lbs., in barrels, $22.00 ; car-load lots of about 20 tons, in 

 bulk, at $18.00 per ton. 



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. 



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 ; 1001b. bag, $3.50; 

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

"THE HENDERSON WSKSSo) 



LAWN ENRICHER." 



sra^BB 



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

 rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can be put on 

 during the summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon 

 be observed. It is in every way more desirable than manure, which is so often full of weed seeds. 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 unsightliness and disagreeable odors. 

 Quantity required. A 10 lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a new lawn, from 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre, or a smaller quantity for 

 renovating an old one. 



Prices, 6 lb. package, 30c; 10 lb. package, 50c; 25 lb. package, $1.25 ; 50 lb. bag, $2.00 ; 100 lb. bag, $3.75 ; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $60.00.
