ELLIOTT’S LAWN DRESSING 
A. Perfect Food for Lawns and Golf Links 
The increasing demand for a Lawn and Golf Dressing that is odorless, 
safely applied and quick in effect, has compelled us to take up this im- 
portant matter and give it a close study, which we have done, and we are 
pleased to state that in the production of Elliott’s Lawn Dressing we 
have produced a Lawn and Golf Fertilizer that has no equal, veing 
convenient, portable and clean, inducing a rapid, rich green growth and 
a most velvety appearance. This preparation is in every way more 
desirable than manure, avoiding the unsightly litter. disagreeable odor 
and weed seeds, which cause an endless annoyance. Should be sown 
broadeast in spring or fall, or may be applied in midsummer without 
injury tothe grass. 
Quantity required: 10 pounds for a plot of 300 square feet ; 1,000 to 
1,500 pounds per acre in preparing new lawn, or one-half to two-thirds 
the quantity in renovating an old lawn. 
Price: 4 lbs., 25 cts.; 10 lbs., 50 ets.; 50 Ibs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.25; 
200 lbs., $6.00; per ton (2,000 Ibs.), $50.00 
SHEEP MANURE, ‘*RAM’'S HEAD BRAND” 
This is a pure Natural Manure, and a most nutritious food for plants. 
Its effect is immediate; much more lasting and healthy than guano. 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. It makes the richest, safest and 
quickest Liquid Manure. For use in liquid form, 1 pound to 5 gallons of 
water will make a liquid of a strength which can be used with safety 
daily if necessary. In bags of 100 pounds each, $2.00; 14 ton, 5 bags, 
$9.00; per ton, 20 bags, $30.00. In packages of 2,4 and 10 pounds, 15 cts., 
25 ets., and 50 ets. each, 
COMPRESSED SHEEP MANURE 
Used chiefly for making liquid manure. In bags of 100 lbs. each, 
$2.00; 14 ton, 5 bags, 59.00; per ton, 20 bags, $30.00. 
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 
eabbage, potatoes, onions, strawberries, fruit trees, grass-lands and 
lawns. Apply 1to 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., $1.50; per ton (2,000 Ibs.) in bags, $22.00 - 
NITRATE OF SODA 
This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal to 20 per 
eent. 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 apply- 
ing, are generally used. Price per 5 lb. package, 40 cts.; 101b. package, 
60 cts.; per 100 lbs., $5.00. 
CRUSHED, OR COARSE RAW BONE 
Excellent for graperies, etc., where more permanent results may be 
obtained than from use of fine bone. 100 lbs., $2.75; 200 lbs., $5.00.
