H ENDERSON'S SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 



Better tham AnimaJ Manures. 



We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 

 fertilizers, compounded for the best gronth 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 even 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. 



HENDEKSON'S CORN FERTILIZER. 



.\ pert'ectly 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, S37.00: 200 lbs., $4.50: 100 lbs., $.3.00: 50 lbs., 81.75; 25 lbs., 

 $1.00. Guaranteed Analysis. Nitrogen 2.479c: Available Phosphoric Acid

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



HENDERSONS 



CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER FERTILIZER. 



Contains generous quantities ammonia 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 

 perfectlv formed cauliflower and big. hard, crisp cabbage. 



Price, S42.00 per ton: 200 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $.3.00: 50 lbs.. $1.75; 25 lbs., 

 SI. 00. Guaranteed Analysis. — Nitrogen 4.12%; Available Phosphoric Acid 

 7.00<~c: Potash 7.00^-^. 



Quantity Required. For early cabbage and cautiflouer use 1.400 to 1.600 lbs. 

 per acre broadcast and 400 /6s. in hiil. scattering 'wtll and mixing thoroughly 

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

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



HENDEKSON'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 fer- 

 tilizing agents to grow maximum crops of clean, well formed, marketable tubers. 



Price. $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs.. $5.00; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs.. S1.75; 25 lbs.,

 7.00%: Potash Actual 8.00%. 



Quantity Required. Use 1.200 to 1,500 lbs. broadcast and '500 to 800 lbs. in 

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

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

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

 soil to attain perfection.

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

 corn use 700 /6s. per acre. 500 /6s. broadcast and 200 /6s. in drill. For mangles

BONE FERTILIZERS.

 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.

 rou'ed in. For rose beds, pot plants, ttc 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.
