 garden and field crops. 



Quantity required. For lawns, pasture and mow- 

 ing lands, l /% to 1 Ion per acre. For trees and vines, 

 2 to 4 quarts each. For field and garden crops, % 

 to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose 

 beds, pot plants, etc., one part to about fifty of soil. 



Raw Bone Meal. This is ground very fine, de- 

 composes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser 

 grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.

Prices Subject to Change Without Notice 



We herewith offer the best fertilizers procurable for the various crops 

 recommended, but all commercial fertilizers for 1917 will be shy in pot- 

 ash, the source of supply having been shut in by the European war. 

 Agricultural experts claim that most soils will retain sufficient potash 

 for another year's crop. However, we advise those of our patrons doubt 

 ful of their soil's supply, especially if planting crops requiring an abund 

 ance of potash, to apply in addition to the fertili- 

 zer used, not less than 1,000 pounds of wood 

 ashes per acre, or 3 to 5 pounds per 100 square 

 feet. I Mucky, and light or sandy soils usually 

 need potash.

HENDERSON'S GARDEN GUIDE AND RE- 

 CORD revised, re-written and brought up to date 

 — Price, 25e. — is sent free with all orders amount- 

 ing to $2.00 or over. It tells all about garden 

 ground preparation, and fertilization. It also 

 shows how much Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and 

 Potash are consumed by various crops, thus in- 

 dicating what fertilizer the land requires. 



QUANTITY REQUIRED 



For forming a new lawn a 10-pound 

 package is sufficient to go over an area 

 of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 1500 

 pounds per acre, or a smaller quantity for 

 renovating an old lawn. Apply broad- 

 cast with machine or by hand as evenly 

 as possible on a quiet day and prefer- 

 ably just before rain. If applied during 

 the summer use half of the quantity 

 and during rainy weather or water in 

 thorougly with a hose. 



For New and Old Lawns, Tennis Courts, Putting 



Greens, Etc. Quickly Induces a 



Luxuriant Rich Green Growth. 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also re- 

 moves a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriance 

 of a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed, at least once a 

 year, with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a 

 clean and odorless lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and 

 rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, and a 

 remarkable improvement will soon be observed. If applied during the 

 summer use half of the quantity and during rainy weather or water in thor- 

 oughly with a hose. The use of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does 

 away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, so 

 objectionable on account of unsightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full 

 of weed seeds.
