BONE FERTILIZERS, 
Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form excellent permanent im- 
provement, less likely than any other fertilizer to waste. With bone there is 
no danger of burning the plants. 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, O00 to 1,500 
lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, 2 to 1 ton broadcasted and harroz wed mn. 
Raw Bone Meal. . This is ground very “fine, decomposes more rapidly in the 
soil than the coarser grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial. 
Price, 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 lb. bag, $4.25; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $37.00. 
Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and particularly adapted for 
general fertilizing; the finer particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse 
keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. Price, per 100 lb. bag, 
$2.25; 200 lb. bag, $4.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $37.00. 
Raw Crushed Bone. Invaluable in the preparation of land for the laying 
down of new lawns, grass lands, etc., being slow but permanent in action, in- 
dispensable in the preparation of grapevine - borders—for fruit trees, small fruits, 
etc.—where a lasting tertilizer is required. 
Price, per 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 lb. bag, $4.50; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $45.00.

NITRATE OF SODA. 
Valuable solely for the nitrogen. it contains. 
in addition to other fertilizers. It is quick in action and hastens crops maturity.

LAND PLASTER OR GYPSUM. 
Valuable for soils requiring lime and sulphate; often good on grass-lands and 
sour soils. The fertilizing action is not so much due to its value asa plant food 
as the power it possesses of absorbing and freeing ammonia, and converting the 
plant foods of the soil into soluble form so they can be utilized by the crop. 
Price, $1.35 per bbl. of 250 Ibs.; $13.00 per ton.
