Dreer's Kitchen Garden Fertilizer. 



This is one of the most concentrated commercial Fertilizers 

 made — used in the smallest quantities, produces a rapid and 

 complete growth in vegetables and small fruits. A teaspoonful 

 of this fertilizer, mixed in a gallon of water, makes a splendid 

 food for flowers either inside of house or out doors. In using 

 Dreer's Kitchen Garden Fertilizer, always mix it with an equal 

 quantity of earth, well incorporated, before sowing seed or set- 

 ting plants. 5 lbs., 50 cts. ; 10 lbs., §100; 25 lbs., §1.50; 100 

 lbs., §400; 200 lbs., §7.50; ton, §70.00.

 counteracting the killing effects of droughts, apply late in the 

 afternoon or just before a rain. 10 lb. box, 50 cts.; 25 lb. box, 

 $1.00; 100 lb. bag, §2.50; 200 lb. bag, §4.00; ton, §35.00. 



Clay's Fertilizer. 



This valuable imported manure is especially recommended 

 to all who grow either fruit, flowers or vegetables, and wish to 

 bring them to the highest perfection. Should be used in pot- 

 ting soil, and spread on slaging of greenhouses planted with 

 flowering plants. Per bag of 25 lbs., §2.00; 50 lbs., $350; 

 100 lbs., §650. 



Pulverized Sheep Manure. This is a pure natural 

 manure and the most nutritious food for plants. Its effect is 

 immediate and lasting, it is clean to handle, and one of the 

 best manures to mix with soil for potting plants — one part ma- 

 nure to six parts soil. For use in the vegetable garden it is 

 invaluable. Placed directly in hills or drills, it promotes a 

 rapid, steady growth until maturity. As a lawn top-dressing it 

 is unequalled. 5 lb. package, 25 cts.; 10 lb., 40 cts.; 50 lb., 

 $1.50; 100 1b., §2.50. 



Nitrate of Soda. 



A Fertilizer for all crops. It is very quick in action, and 

 hastens maturity of crops fully two weeks. Being extremely 

 soluble, it should not be applied until the plants are above 

 ground, when 100 to 300 lbs. per acre should be sown mixed 

 with wood ashes or land plaster. Will lie shipped only in 

 double bags. 50 lbs., §250; 100 lbs., $4.50 ; 200 lbs., $8.00. 



Canada Hard- Wood Ashes. 



Indispensable as a lawn 

 dressing or to apply to or- 

 chards. They should be ap- 

 plied late in fall or early in 

 spring, so that the rains and 

 snows may leach the ashes 

 and carry the elements down 

 to the roots of grass or trees. 

 Our ashes are screened and 

 are in proper condition for 

 immediate use. Apply at the rate of 1000 to 1500 lbs. per 

 acre. 50 lbs., $1.00; per bbl. (about 250 lbs.), $3.00; ton, 

 §20.00.
