 ance. Should be sown broadcast in Spring or Fall, or may be applied 

 in Midsummer without injury to the grass. Quantity required : 10 lbs. 

 for a plot of 300 square feet; 1000 to 1500 lbs. per acre in preparing new

PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE 



This is a pure Natural Manure, and a most nutritious food for plants. 

 It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for greenhouse 

 plants — one part of manure to 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. In bags of 100 pounds each, 

 $2.00, li ton, 5 bags, $9.00; per ton, 20 bags, $30.00. In packages of 

 2, 4 and 10 pounds, 15c., 25c. and 50c. each.

ASHES, UNLEACHED (Canada Hardwood) 



Contain all fertilizing elements except nitrogen. They drive away 

 insects, and are indispensable for all crops requiring potash. They are 

 very beneficial for garden and field crops, and are of high value for 

 cabbage, potatoes, onions, strawberries, fruit trees, grass-lands and lawns. 

 Apply 1 to 2 tons per acre, as one heavy application will help much more 

 than the same quantity would applied in fractions. Price, bag, about 

 100 lbs., $2.00; per ton (2000 lbs.) in bags, $25.00. 



NITRATE OF SODA 



This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal to 20 per 

 cent, of ammonia. It is very quick in action and hastens the maturity 

 of crops fully two weeks. 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, 35c.; 10-lb. package 60c.; 

 per 100 lbs. , 85.00

BLOOD AND BONE

 gradual decomposition, and, in consequence, 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, 

 m fact, all kinds of vegetation. Quantity required : When broadcasted 

 and harrowed in, from i^ to 1 ton per acre. For garden crops, drill in 

 300 to 500 lbs. per acre. 100-lb. bag, $2.75; 200-lb. bag, $5.00; ton of
