 especially for feeding plants grown in pots. It is a wonderful Invigorator, pro- 

 ducing luxuriant, healthy growth, foliage of rich texture and larger and more 

 brilliant flowers.

 essential to the highest development of plants and flowers. It is very soluble 

 and is readily assimilated, so that marked improvement is usually noticed in 

 ten days' time. It is fine and dry, clean and easy to apply, either sprinkled 

 over the surface of the soil as a top dressing, or dissolved in water (.stirring well).

HENDERSON'S GARDEN FERTILIZER 

 FOR VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS.

 odor containing all the elements needed by vegetable and flowers for their 

 quick growth, early maturing and perfect development. The ingredients are 

 quickly soluble and immediately commence to feed the plants, stimulating 

 them into healthy, luxuriant growth, and it continues to feed them until the 

 end of the season. 



Easily applied, either before or after planting, by sprinkling over the surface 

 of the soil and raking in: or it can be mixed with water (stirring well) and applied 

 as a liquid manure. If something especially fine in vegetables and flowers is 

 desired, two or three additional applications, made at intervals, will produce 

 magnificent results. A 10-lb package is sufficient for a space 15 x 20 for one appli- 

 cation, or 1000 to 1500 lbs per acre. Instructions on each package.

THE HENDERSON LAWN ENRICHER. 



ODORLESS— QUICK ACTING. 



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 removes a pro- 

 portion 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 broad- 

 cast 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 thoroughly 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. 



Quantity Required. — For forming a new lawn a 10-pound package is sufficient 

 to go over an area of 300 square feel, or 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre, or a smaller 

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. Apply broadcast with machine or by hand as 

 evenly as possible on a quiet day and preferably just before rain. If applied during 

 the summer use half the quantity and during rainy weather or water in thoroughly 

 with a hose. 



Prices— 100 lb. bag, $3.75; 200 lb. bag S7.00.
