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 

 broadcast with machine or by hand as 

 evenly as possible on a quiet day and 

 preferably just before rain. If applied 

 during the summer use half of the 

 quantity and during rainy weather or 

 water in thoroughly with a hose. 



The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also removes 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 dress- 

 ing 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 rainy weather or water in thorouehly with a hose. The us? of 

 "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does away with the old practice of top- 

 dressing lawns with stable manure, so objectionable on account of unsightli- 

 ness, disagreeable odors, so often full of weed seeds.

The "Big Crop" Soil Tester 



nstructions 



THE "BIG CROP" Soil Test Tells, whether or not any piece of land is in the proper condition to produce a 

 CROP" and serves you as a guide how to correct faulty soil conditions. 



CUTS OUT GUESS WORK. Every crop eats up lime and manure, every rain washes lime and manure out of the 

 soil; these are the reasons why most of the soils on a farm are either short in lime or manure or both. No man can tell 

 by the looks of a soil or bv making a jack knife or a palm test, whether a soil is short in lime and manure. The onlv way 

 to tell is by making a test with the "BIG CROP" Soil Tester, which alone furnises the SURE PROOF. 



If you know each year by testing each field with the "BIG CROP" Soil Tester, How Much Lime and Manure is left, 

 then you can add enough, where it will pay the biggest returns instead of spreading it where it is not needed and cannot 

 be made to pay. 



In particular it will tell you) : 



Whether or not your soil needs lime and how much per acre. 



Whether or not manure (organic matter) is needed. 



Whether or not your soil needs inoculating for alfalfa, clovers, 

 cow peas, soybeans, vetch and other legumes. 



Where and where not green manuring will pay. 



Which fields on your farm are best adapted to alfalfa, clovers, 

 grain, corn, potatoes, vegetables, etc. 



Where and where not to apply chemical fertilizers and how to 

 use them at the least possible loss through leaching. 



How to build up worn, thin, neglected soils properly and sys- 

 tematically. 



Price $8.50, F. O. B. Factory. Shipping Weight 4 Lbs. 



Every Test Costs 2 Cents 



and Takes 2 Minutes to 



Make. 



You Get Bigger Crops from 



Corrected Soils. Test and 



Correct Every Field Before 



Planting.
