SHEEP 
MANURE 
Better than All Others, Natural or Artificial. 
Its effect is immediate ; much more lasting 
It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants— 
Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden or placed directly in drills or hills, 
it promotes a rapid, steady growth until maturity ; all culinary vegetables reach their highest quality only when growth is rapid 
and unchecked. 
It makes the richest, safest and quickest Liquid Manure, rivaling guano, without any deleterious effects. For 
use in liquid form, one pound to five gallons of water will make a dark liquid which can be used with safety daily if necessary. 
As a Lawn Top Dressing it is unequaled.
