^ PREPARED POTTING SOIL. (^ 



One of the principal elements of success in the growing and flowering of plants and bulbs is 

 proper soil, l^o matter how much care and attention is given afterwards, if the soil is not rieht — best 

 results cannot be attained. It is so often difficult for amateurs to procure the right kind of potting 

 soil that we have concluded, after many solicitations, to furnish it to our customers at practically cost 

 to us, including packing. 



This " Prepared Potting Soil " will be the same that we use in our extensive greenhouses. It takes 

 a year or more to prepare it by first placing a layer of inverted sod, covering it with a layer of rotted 

 manure, then another layer of sod and so on. This "mold pile" is allowed to stand about 6 months, 

 then it is thoroughly turned and mixed, and the operation repeated several times during the last 6 

 months — when it is considered fit to use. 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.

 PRICE, 25c. per peck bag, 76c. per bushel bag, $2.00 per barrel (purchaser to 



pay freight).
