FERTILIZERS 



Prices Subject to Change Without Notice 



We herewith offer the best fertilizers procurable for the various crops 

 recommended, but all commercial fertilizers for 1916 will be shy in pot- 

 ash, the source of supply having been shut in by the European war. 

 Agricultural experts claim that most soils will retain sufficient potash 

 for another year's crop. However, we advise those of our patrons doubt- 

 ful of their soil's supply, especially if planting crops requiring an abund-

Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore 

 form excellent permanent improvement, less likely 

 than any other fertilizer to waste. With bone 

 there is no danger of burning the plants. Excel- 

 lent for top-dressing lawns and grass lands, for 

 garden and field crops. 



Quantity required. For lawns, pasture and mow-

 to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose 

 beds, pot plants, etc., one pari to about fifty of soil.

QUANTITY REQUIRED 



For forming a new lawn a 10-pound 

 package is sufficient to go over an area 

 of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 1500 

 pounds per acre, or a smaller quantity for 

 renovating an old lawn. Apply broad- 

 cast with machine or by hand as evenly 

 as possible on a quiet day and prefer- 

 ably just before rain. If applied during 

 the summer use half of the quantity 

 and during rainy weather or water in 

 thoroughly with a hose. 



ODORLESS— QUICK-ACTING 



New and Old Lawns, Tennis Courts, Putting 

 Greens, Etc. Quickly Induces a 

 Luxuriant Rick Green Growth. 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also re- 

 moves a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriance 

 of a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed, at least once a 

 year, with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a 

 clean and odorless lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and 

 rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, and a 

 remarkable improvement will soon be observed. If applied during the 

 summer use half of the quantity and during igmy weather or water in thor- 

 oughly with a hose. The use of "Henderso^^Jwn Enricher" entirely does 

 away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, so 

 objectionable on account of unsightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full 

 of weed seeds.
