«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 onsandy 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 lands, for garden and field crops. 
Quantity required. For permanent pasture and 
mowing lands, %4 to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 
to 4 quarts each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per 
acre. For field and garden crops, *{ to 1 ton broadcasted 
and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., 1 part to 
about fifly of soil. 
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.

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. A101b. 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.

agreeable odor, prepared especially for feeding plants 
grown in pots. Itisa wonderfulinvigorator, 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. Itis 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 1b. package, sufficient for 25 ordinary sized | 
plants for 1 year, 20c., or by mail, 30c. 
9) 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, grapevines, and, in fact, all kinds of vegetation 
on all soils, but especially so on light soils. 
Quantity required. When applied broadcast and 
harrowed in, from 34 to 1 ton per acre should be used. For 
garden crops it can be applied in the drill, 300 to 500 lbs. 
per acre.

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. Itis 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.
