Henderson's Prepared Potting Soil. One of the principal elements of suc-

 As needed, we mix with it peat, sand and pure raw ground bone meal — it 

 is then friable, rich, and will cause plants to grow and bloom luxuriantly. 



Leaf Mold. Essential in plant growing, in fact, indispensable for Ferns, etc. 



Rotted 'Sandy) Peat. Fine for lightening soil, for sowing fine seeds, for potting 

 Azaleas, Palms. Begonias, etc., for mixing with garden soil.

of Potting Soil, Peat and Leaf Mold, 30c. per peck bag, $1.00 per bushel bag, 

 three bushels for $2.00.

 ing with potting soil covering tops of pots to preserve moisture, etc. Price, 

 25c. peck. 7'k. bushel; 3-bushel bag. $2.00; bale of about 3 barrels. $.'-
