FERTILIZERS FOR THE FARM, GARDEN AND LAWN 



The merits of a Fertilizer cannot be judged by -the analysis only, but from a knowledge of the basis from which it has been made. It is a well- 

 known fact that the animal waste products produced in the abattoirs give the purest and most available basis for Ammonia ^nd t'ho^horic Acid. This 



is the basis of our goods. The amomit of work required to produce a good full crop with a good high grade fertilizer would be no more than to pro- 

 duce a poor crop with a cheap or inferior grade. 



The four columns in the analysis given below represent respectively: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, Potash, Bone Phosphate of Lime.

Blood Meal — for Roses 



Rose growers have learned in the 



past few 3^ears that Blood Meal is one 



of the most valuable fertilizers for 



Roses. It contains the proper plant 



food that Roses require, both for the 



growing of new wood and blooms. If 



you will use Blood Meal several times 



during the season, j'ou will alwaj^s 



have an abundant supply of blooms 



until late Fall. 



It is well to remember that all plants require the proper 



kind of food if they are to do their best. After carefully 



studying the requirements of Roses, we can recommend 



Blood Meal to be the veiy best Rose tonic. 



A tablespoonful to be sprinkled around the Rose Bush, 

 about one inch away from the Bush, every two weeks. It 

 is also very valuable as a top dressing in the vegetable 

 garden, flower garden, around house plants, trees and in hot 

 houses. 1 Lb. 10c. 3 Lbs. 25c. 5 Lbs. 40c.

We believe in inoculation, we favor the pure jelly 

 medium, and we believe in FARilOGERM. We recom- 

 mend that all legume seeds purchased from us be inocu-

 to inoculate.
