FERTILIZERS 



BONE FERTILIZERS, 



Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form excellent permanent im- 

 provement, less likely than any other fertilizer to waste. _ With bone there is 

 »o 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, i to 1 ion per 

 acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top-dressing, 1.000 to 1.500 

 hs. per acre. For field and garden crops, f to 1 to* broadcasted and harrowed in. 



Raw Bone Meal. This is ground very fine, decomposes more rapidly in the 

 soil than the coarser grades, and is therefore more quicklv beneficial. 



Price. 100 lb. bag. S2.25; 200 lb. bag, $4.00; per ton of 2.000 lbs.. $36.00. 



Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and particularly adapted for 

 general fertilizing; the finer particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse 

 keeping up the sunplv of plant food for a long -oeriod. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $2.25; 200 lb. bag, $4.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs.. $36.00. 



Steamed Ground Bone. We offer this to meet a demand for a low-priced bone ; 

 it will show results quicker than Raw Bone — but not so lasting. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $1.60; per 200 lb.bag. $2.85: pir ton of 2,000 lbs.. $27.00. 



Raw Crushed Bone. .Invaluable in the preparation 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. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, $2.40; 200 lb. bag, $4.25; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $39.00. 



BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE, 



Benefits crops quickly, readily available, promoting early maturity, afford- 

 ing, constant nourishment during their entire season's growth. In case of ro- 

 tation oi crop, it is nearly as valuable for the last as for the first. 



Quantity required. For garden arid field crops. 500 to 600 lbs. per acre; for 

 garden crops it is best drilled in at seed-sowing time. For top-dressing grass, 600 

 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag. $1.85; per bag of 200 lbs., $3.25 oer ton of 2,000 lbs., 

 $31.00. 



BLOOD AND BONE. 



A very concentrated source of nitrogen, yielding ammonia, etc., by gradual 

 decomposition, and, in consequence, is superior for immediate as well as for 

 prolonged results; it is of exceptional value for garden crops, root crops, corn, 

 grain, grasses, fruit trees, small fruits, grape vines, and, in fact, all kinds of 

 vegetati 



Quantity required. When broadcasted and harrowed in use from Itol tor. per 

 acre. For garden crops drill in 300 to 500 lbs. per acre.

 vegetable garden it promotes a rapid, steady growth until maturity. It makes 

 a rich Liquid Manure.

 plowing, the balance bej :?. For top-dressing grass, use 1 ton per acre,

 crops requiring potash; very beneficial for garden and field crops; of high value 

 for grass lands and lawns. 



Quantity required. Apply 1 to 2 ions per acre, as one heavy application will 

 hel-P much more tlian the same quantitv would, applied in fractions.

 Special prices in bulk. 



NITRATE OF SODA. 



Valuable solely for the nitrogen, it contains. It is chiefly a stimulant, used 

 in addition to other fertilizers. It is quick in action and hastens crops maturity . 



Quantity required. Being extremely soluble, it is usually applied after the 

 plants are above ground. 100 to 500 lbs. per acre. 



Price. 25 lb. bag. $1.10; 50 lb. bag, S1.85; 100 lb. bag, $3.25: 200 lbs. $6.00; 

 per ton of 2,000 lbs., apply. 



LAND PLASTER OR GYPSUM. 



Valuable for soils requiring lime and sulphate; often good on grass-lands and 

 sour soils. The fertilizing action is not so much due to its value as a plant food 

 as the power it possesses of absorbing and freeing ammonia, and converting the 

 plant foods of the soil into soluble form so thev can be utilized bv the crop. 



Price. $1.75 per bbl. of 250 lbs.; $12.00 per ton.
