FERTILIZERS 





BONE FERTILIZERS. 



Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form 

 excellent permanent improvement, 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, V to 1 ton per acre. For trees and 

 vines, 2 to i quarts each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 

 1,500 lbs. per acre. For field arid 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. 



Price, 1 lb. package, 10c. (or by mail, 2.5c. lb.); 

 5 lb. package, 30c.; 10 lb. package, 50c.; 25 lb. bag, 

 $1.00; 50 lb. bag, $1.75; 100 lb. bag, $3.00; 200 lb. 

 bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $42.00. 



Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and 

 particularly adapted for general fertilizing; the finer 

 particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse keep- 

 ing up the supply of plant food for a long period. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, .53.00; 200 lb. bag, $5.00; 

 per ton of 2,000 lbs., $42.00. 



Raw Crushed Bone. Invaluable in the prepara- 

 tion 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 

 fertilizer is required.

 per ton of 2,000 lbs., $47.00. 



BLOOD AND BONE.

 ammonia, etc., by gradual decomposition, and, in 

 consequence, is superior for immediate as well as for 

 prolonged results; it is of exceptional value for gar- 

 den crops, root crops, com, grain, grasses, fruit trees, 

 small frviits, grave vines, and, in fact, all kinds of 

 vegetation. 



Quantity required. When broadcasted and har- 

 rowed in use from -?r to 1 ton per acre. For garden 

 traps drill in 300 to 500 lbs. per acre.

 and lasting in effect. Excellent for mixing with the 

 soil for greenhouse plants. In the vegetable garden 

 it promotes a rapid, steady growth until maturity 

 it makes a rich Liquid Manure.

 1 to 2 tons per acre — .V before plowing, the balance 

 before harrowing. For top-dressing grass, use 1 ton 

 per acre, applied in fall or early spring.

 $30.00; in packages of 2 lbs., 15c.; 10 lbs., 50c.; by

"HENDERSON'S (ou^.g^^i-c^l.k) LAWN ENRICHER." 



i) 



A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing which we have found to be never-failing in induc- 

 ing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can 

 be put on during the summer without injury or danger of biuning the grass, and a remarkable im- 

 provement will soon be observed. It is in every way more desirable than manure, which is so often 

 full of weed seeds. The use of " Henderson's Lawn Enricher " entirely does away with the old 

 practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, which was so objectionable on account of un- 

 sightliness and disagreeable odors. 



Quantity required. A 10 lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a new lawn, from 1,000 to 1.500 lbs. per acre or half the auantitv for
