FERTILIZERS 





i t 



H enderson's SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 



Better than Animal Manures. 



We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 

 fertilizers, compounded for the best growth of various crops. Having made 

 a careful study for many years of plant fertilization we have had exceptional 

 opportunities for determining the proper materials for producing the greatest 

 yield as well as early maturity. Only the choicest, most soluble and easily 

 assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly taken up by the plant 

 will not waste in the soil. Our fertilizers contain no weed seeds, have no dis- 

 agreeable odor, are fine, dry and easily applied. 



It is well understood among intelligent farmers, that commercial fertilizers 

 have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops 

 without their assistance ever, where good animal manures are used. 



We are confident that no better commercial manures can be made than 

 Henderson's Special Fertilizers. 



No horn, leather, hair, marl or other insoluble materials enter into the com- 

 position of our fertilizers. 



HENDERSON'S CORN FERTILIZER. 



A perfectly balanced complete fertilizer containing a large percentage of 

 phosphoric acid, the most essential element in the production of maximum 

 corn crops. Nitrogen and potash are also supplied in sufficient quantities to 

 form a perfect maize plant ration. 



Price, per ton, $37.00; 200 lbs., S4.50; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., S1.75; 25 lbs., 

 SI. 00. 



Quantity Required. Use 400 to 600 lbs. per acre. Half broadcast and balance 

 in hills or drill mixing thoroughly with the soil before planting. 



HENDERSON'S 



CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER FERTILIZER. 



Contains generous quantities ammoni . and potash so necessary for the pro- 

 duction of large solid heads. The ammonia being in the form of nitrate of soda, 

 the potash as sulphate, make the highest grade manure it is possible to com- 

 pound for the best growth of cabbage, cauliflower and other Brassica crops. 

 The liberal use of this special manure will produce large, compact white and 

 perfectly formed cauliflower and big, hard, crisp cabbage. 



Price, $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs.. $5.00; 100 lbs.. $3.00, 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 

 $1.00. 



Quantity Required. For early cabbage and cauliflower use 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. 

 per acre broadcast and 400 lbs. in hill, scattering well and mixing thoroughly 

 with the soil. For late cabbage and cauliflower 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. broadcast and 

 300 lbs. in hill, mixing thoroughly with the soil. 



HENDERSON'S POTATO FERTILIZER. 



The highest grade complete potato manure it is possible to compound. 

 The potash, derived from sulphate potash, produces tubers rich in starch, and 

 of the finest quality, and does not need the addition of animal manure or other 

 fertilizing agents to grow maximum crops of clean, well formed, marketable 

 tubers. 



Price, $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs.. S3.00; 50 lbs.. $1.75; 25 lbs., 

 $1.00. 



Quantity Required. Use 1.200 to 1.500 lbs. broadcast and 500 to 800 lbs. in 

 hill or drill, mixing thoroughly with the soil before planting. It is essential in 

 order to produce ma ximum crops that the ground be deeply and thoroughly stirred 

 before planting and the fertilizer well harrowed in. Potatoes require a loose, friable 

 soil to attain perfection. 



HENDERSON'S UNIVERSAL SUPERPHOSPHATE. 



Good for all crops and unexcelled as a top dressing for grass lands and grain. 

 An economical well balanced general fertilizer for all crops and soils. 



Price, per ton. $33.00: 200 lbs. $4.25; 100 lbs. $2.50; 50 lbs., $1.5(1 25 

 lbs., $1.00. 



Quantity required. Use 300 to 1.000 lbs. per acre according to crop and fer- 

 tility of soil. For top dressing grain or grass apply 300 to 400 lbs. per a,r, as 

 soon as the frost leaves the ground. For oats, barley, wheat and rve apply 700 to 

 900 lbs. per acre using 500 to 700 (6s. broadcast and 200 lbs. in drill. For fodder 

 corn use 700 lbs. per acre, 500 lbs. broadcast and 200 lbs. in drill. For mangles 

 and turnips use 800 to 1,200 lbs. per acre using 500 to 800 lbs. broadcast and 

 balance in drill. 



BONE FEPvTILIZEKS. 



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

 provement, 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, 5 to 1 ton 

 per acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For lop-dressing, 1.000 to 

 1,500 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, i to 1 ton broadcasted and har- 

 rowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., one part to about fifty of soil. 



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

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



Price. 1 lb. package, 10c. (or by mail, 25c. 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 asssimilated, the coarse 

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



Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.00; 200 lb. bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs. ,$45.00. 



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, $3.25; 200 lb. bag, $5.50; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $47.00. 



CLAY'S FERTILIZER. 



A celebrated English Fertilizer for both garden and greenhouse use. Highly 



concentrated, therefore economical notwithstanding its apparently high price. 



Price per bag of 14 lbs., $1.25; 28 lbs., $2.25; 56 lbs., S4.00; 112 lbs., $7.00. 



BLOOD AND BONE. 



Is of exceptional value for garden crops, root crops corn, grain, grasses, 

 fruit trees, small fruits, grape vines, and, in fact, all kinds of vegetation. 



Quantity Required. When broadcasted and harrowed in use from j to 1 ton 

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



Price per 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 lb. bag, $4.50; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $38.00. 



PURE PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE. 



A pure, natural and nutritious manure. Immediate 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. 



Quantity Required. For garden and field crops. 1 to 2 tons per acre — i before 

 plowing, the balance before harrowing. For top-dressing grass, use 1 ton per 

 acre, applied in fall or early spring.

 15c; 10 lbs., 50c; by mail, 15c lb. extra. 



ASHES-Canada Hard Wood. 



Drives away insects and improves the texture of the soil; indispensable for 

 all crops requiring potash; very beneficial for garden and field crops, grass 

 lands and lawns. Contains 69c carbonate of potash. Apply 1 to 2 tons per 

 acre, as one heavy application is better than the same quantity put on in frac- 

 tions. 



Price per bbl. of about 200 lbs.. $2.50; per ton of 2.000 lbs., in bbls. $25.00 

 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 to ma- 

 turity, being extremely soluble it is easily applied after the plants are above 

 ground at the rate of 100 to 500 lbs. per acre.

FERTILIZING CONSTITUENTS. 



Kainit or German Potash Salt. 121', actual potash and 33' , common salt. 

 Used chiefly for its potash value. The combination of these two ingredients 

 renders it useful, when intelligently applied, for destroving insects in th. 

 Price. $1.60 per 100 lbs.; 200 lbs.. $2.35; ton of 2.000 lbs.. $19.00.
