PETER HENDERSON & CO.— MISCELLANEOUS. 



FKRXILIZERS. 



HEKDESSON'S LAWK BNSICHEB. — A fertilizer 

 which we have found to be never failing in inducing a rapid and 

 rich green growth to the lawn. It meets the wants of hundreds 

 of patrons who desire a clean, portable and convenient lawn 

 dressing. A 10-lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of 300 

 square feet, or from 1,000 to 1,.500 lbs. per acre, for forming a 

 new lawn, or a smaller quantity for renovating on an old one. 

 Prices: 5-ib. package, 30 cts ; lO-'lb. package, 50 cts. ; 23-lb. pack- 

 age, SI; 50-lb. bag. .?2; 100-lb. bag, $i; per ton (of 2,000 lbs.), $70. 



PTJEE GBOTTITD BONE. — This is 

 moderately fine, and adapted for general fer- 

 tilizing purposes. The sample we offer is of 



very fine quality, and quite pure. In barrels of 218 lbs., So per 



bbl., or $4.5 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



FUSE CSUSHED BONE.— A coarse article, particularly 

 well adapted for use in the preparation of grape vine borders ; 

 perfectly pure. In barrels of about 250 lbs.; .«3 per 100 lbs., or 

 $.50 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



FTTBE BONE BIEAIi.— This is ground very fine, is excel- 

 lent for top-dressing lawns, and is well-adapted for mixing with 

 soil for potting purposes, for which one part of meal to fifty of 

 soil is about the right proportion. It is the same article we iise for mixing with 

 moss in our " Moss Mulching " process. Price, in 1, 2 and 5-lb. packages, 10 cts. 

 per lb. ; per 10-lb. package, 80 cts.; per 26-lb. package. $1.50. Quantities of 50 and 

 100 lbs. and over, at 4 cts. per lb.; ov $60.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.;, in bbls. contain- 

 ing about 250 lbs. each. 



PEETTVIAN GUANO.— Small package of 1 lb., 10 cts. each ; 25 lbs. for $2.00. 

 Per bag of 200 lbs , i cts. per lb.; $65.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



COTTON SEES MEAIi.— A splendid fertilizer for garden crops, root crops, 

 etc. Price, in bags of 100 lbs,, $3.00 per bag ; $30,00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs ) 



EOTTEN 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 broadcast 

 and harrowed in thoroughly at the rate of 1,500 lbs. per acre, and at the compara- 

 tively low price at which it is sold it will be seen that it makes an exceedingly cheap 

 fertilizer. Mr. Wm. Crozier, who first called our attention to the Eotten Bone Ma- 

 nure, 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 

 siich a comparatively 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 (of 2,000 lbs.) ; decomposed with potash, 

 $22.00 per ton (of 2.000 lbs.) 



BIiOOD AND BONE PEaTILIZEB.— Manufactured of pure blood and 

 bone. The quantity we use of this fertilizer, when applied broadcast for such crops 

 as spinach, cabbage, beets, onion or celery, is from 1 to 2 tons per acre, according 

 ■to the condition of the land. For seed beds of cabbage, lettuce, etc., the same ratio 

 of quantity is used. When this fertilizer is used in rows or in hills for such crops 

 as celery, cabbage or early corn, from 100 to 200 lbs. per acre will be enough. In 

 bbls. of about 218 lbs., $3.00 per 100 lbs., or $.50.00 per ton (of 2.000 lbs.) 



HENDERSON'S PERMANENT PASTURE MANURE.— Especially 



intended for use on pasture or mowing lands. Price, in bbls. of about 250 lbs., 3>^ 

 cts. per lb., or $55.00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.)

 plants. Clean to handle, without odor, pr'.)duces rich green growth, and profusion 

 of flowers, if used according to directions which accompany it. Small package. 15 

 cts.; or by mail, 20 cts. Large package, enough for twenty plants one year, 30 cts.;

 rivaled as a fertilizer for grass lands or lawns. Price, $3.00 per 100 lbs. : $6.00 per
