FERTILIZERS AND SEEDS FOR LAWNS AND GARDENS 



ALUMINUM SULPHATE — The safest and best material for creating an acid soil. Often 

 necessary in gardens where members of the Heath family, especially Rhododendrons and 

 Azaleas are to be grown. 



AMMONIA SULPHATE — A readily soluble nitrogenous fertilizer. Remarkable results 

 are often obtained by an application of this food to the lawn. 



BONE MEAL — A safe and efficient food for the majority of garden purposes. Especially 

 good in the Rose Garden. 



COW MANURE — A most perfectly balanced fertilizer. Reliable and always good for 

 general garden and mulching purposes. 



GRASS SEED, "TOWSON SHADY SPOT"— A rich mixture largely composed of 

 tested perennial seeds that makes a lasting and beautiful lawn in cool, shady places. 



GRASS SEED, "TOWSON SPECIAL"— A combination of exceptionally good seeds to 

 make a perfect lawn over open, sunny areas. 



HYPER HUMUS — A pure, organic material for building up soils. It is fine, odorless, 

 decomposes rapidly and is adaptable to nearly every planting. 



LAWN FOOD, "TOWSON" — A fertilizer prepared especially for use on new lawns and 

 for feeding old established turfs. Results are immediate and lasting. 



LEAF MOULD — A good plant food, identical in every way with the rich deposits of 

 decaying vegetable matter found in native woodlands. The natural and required fare and 

 mulch for the ericaceous plants. 



LIME — An ameliorative agent for lawn and field use. Finely pulverized and hydrated. 



PEAT MOSS — A moisture retaining humus and an aid to the saving of soil fertility. It 

 furnishes the needed organic matter which all soils require and also makes a splendid mulch- 

 ing material. 



SHEEP MANURE — Pulverized sheep manure is one of the most potent and serviceable of 

 the generally used animal manures. 



SOIL — Rich top soil is a necessity in every type of planting. We always keep huge piles 

 under cover, available at any season and in any kind of weather. For work requiring it we 

 maintain a stock of screened top soil. 



TREE FOOD, "TOWSON" — This fertilizer is prepared to furnish food for large trees 

 and shrubs. It promotes strong limb and twig growth and increases the volume and size of 

 foliage and bloom. A well-fed tree is seldom attacked by insects or disease. 



In addition to those described in the foregoing list, we carry many other fertilizers for the 

 lawn and garden. We also mix balanced foods in large quantities, using a base of top soil, 

 peat moss, leaf mould, etc., for devitalized shrub and tree plantings and lawns. Our stock 

 also contains a v full line of hand sprayers and dusters of all types, and insecticides and 

 fungicides of the best makes. 



We can supply complete watering systems; either concealed for the irrigation of lawns or 

 large overhead oscillating outfits. Movable sprinklers, both large and small; garden hose 

 and all accessories are also always kept on hand. The best European and American made 

 cutting tools, such as knives, shears, saws, scythes, etc., are also stocked. 



Yearly, hundreds of new plant foods, sprays, machines and tools come upon the market. 

 We obtain the best of these and put them through every practical test before offering them 

 to our customers.
