Plants are constantly drawing nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and other elements from 

 the soil, and when your farm or garden produces a crop of vegetables, flowers, cereals 

 or fruit, a certain portion of these important plant foods are removed from the soil. 



Continued planting and removing of crops would soon exhaust the supply of these 

 necessary plant foods, were it not that by the use of commercial fertilizers, stable and 

 barnyard manure, we are able to replenish the supplv and thereby keep up the fertility 

 of the soil. 



Stable and barnyard manures are now difficult to obtain and it is only by the use of 

 commercial fertilizers and green manures that we are able to put back into the soil, the 

 important elements that have been removed. Owing to the fact that some crops take more 

 of one element from the soil than others, our fertilizers are made up of special formulas 

 for the different crops.

Ashes, Unleached Hardwood 



In addition to a goodly percentage of 

 potash, wood ashes contain carbonate and 

 phosphate of lime and magnesia, all essen- 

 tial elements of plant food. Wood ashes 

 are excellent as a top dressing for lawns 

 and grass land and owing to their alkali 

 power will render dry soils more plastic 

 and likewise aid in making open, porous 

 soils more firmly bound. Use 5 lbs. per 100 

 square feet or 1500 lbs. per acre.
