FOR THE FARM, 



LAWN and GARDEN. 



namiiRHimninnHniuinimiHwiniuiaii^^ 



The application of Fertilizers has been a topic much discussed among: farmers generally. The quality and requirements ot the soil are ao 

 varied, some lands beinr deficient in Potash. Phosphoric Acid, or some other chemical ingredient, that it is frequently very difficult for the fannw 



to determine just what mixture he needs. We give below a Une of fertilizers best adapted to the various soils and crops- 



Animal Bone Phosphate. 



Made principally from Animal Bone, Potash 

 and Ammoniates in proper proportion. A com- 

 plete manure always ^ives good results. Spe- 

 cially adapted to the growth of Peas, Cabbage, 

 Wheat and Grass— it contains all the ingre- 

 dients necessary to supply what may be lacking 

 in the soil for almost any crop. 



Price. S28.00 per ton. 



• 2.SO BSK. 



Ammoniated Alkaline 

 Plant Food. 



Our old stand-by for summer crops ; is used 

 largely on Potatoes, Com. Tobacco and other 

 summer crops, stands the hot. dry weather par- 

 ticularly well. 



Price, SSM.BO p«r ton. 

 <• • 2.00 BaK- 



Ammoniated Butchers' 

 Bone Phosphate. 



Is made largely from slaughter-house stock ; 

 used principally for Wheat and Grass, as well 

 as by growers of Com and Tomatoes for can- 

 ning purposes ; a good article at a low price. 

 Price, SSS.&O per ton. 



• 2.00 " BaK- 



Soft Ground Bone. 



Made from softer material than the regular 

 "Ground Bone." and contains some little meat 

 and blood. The great objection to the use of 

 Pure Bone (the price) no longer prevents its 

 use by anyone wanting to restore worn-out 

 land. Try it and be convinced. 



Price, 928.00 per ton. 



• 2.60 Bag- 



Dissolved Bone. 



Made from stock containing some meat, thor- 

 oughly dissolved, and in fine drilling condition. 



Farmers wishing a fertilizer for immediate 

 action will find in this brand a reliable manure 

 ot good value, and one whose good effect can 

 be seen for a long time.

Soluhle Bone Phosphate. 



A good cheap Fertilizer. Quite a number ot 

 chemists claim that Ammonia adds very much 

 to the cost of Fertilizers without being of much 

 agricultural value : that is. sufficient Ammonia 

 can be obtained from the atmosphere, etc., etc. 

 Whether or not this theory is correct quite a 

 number of people have used our Soluble Bone 

 with very satisfactory results. To supply such 

 a trade we offer the above.

Tobacco Bed Fertilizer. 



This brand is specially well adapted for use on 

 tobacco beds, containing 10 percent, of Ammo- 

 nia and a large percentage of Potash and Phos-

Pulverized Sheep Manure. 



This is purely a natural and most nutritious 

 plant food, clean to handle, and its effect is 

 immediate and lasting. There is nothing better 

 to mix with soil for potting plants. Florists who 

 use it extensively advise mixing about one-sev- 

 enths manure and six-sevenths soil. As a top 

 dressing tor lawns, it is unequalled.

ARSENATE OF LEAD 



Is better than Paris Green, Green Arsenoid. 

 Arsenite ot Lime or Araenite ot Soda for tbe 

 following reasons ; 



1. It sticks after being sprayed, even heavy 

 rains closely following tbe spraying do not 

 wash It off. 



X. It will not scald the buds, tbua enabllns 

 tt* nse at a f aHiclent strength to Incare results. 



3. It gives from one- third to one-half more 

 benefit than all other forms of arsenicals. 



The chief disadvantages of Paris Green 

 Green Arsenoid, Arsenite of Lime and Arsen 

 lie of Soda are that : 



1. It cannot be used at sufficient strength to 

 give good results on account of its caustic 

 nature. 



i. It is washed off by the first heavy rains 

 compelling re-spraying. 



DIRECTIONS (or using ARSBNATB OP 

 LEAD : — On Apple and Pear trees use from 3 



to 3;-4 lbs to 50 gals, of water ; on Peach. 2 lbs. 

 to 50 gals, ot water. 



To prepare for use take tbe desired quantity 

 ot Arsenate of Lead and add enough water to 

 make a thin paste, then add it to the volume of 

 water, we suggest ailing the spray barrel two- 

 thirds full of water, then add the Arsenate ot 

 Lead first thinned with water, then fill the 

 spray barrel. This will thoroughly mix the 

 whole lot For spraying Arsenate of Lead 

 there should be an agitator on the pump in 

 order to keep it In good suspension. 



Spray Apple and Pear trees to prevent COD- 

 LING MOTH within ten days after the petals of 

 tbe blossoms fall in order to lodge the poison in 

 the calyx before it closes. Bordeaux Mixture 

 can be combined with Arsenate of Lead at this 

 time, although on apples that do not scab badly 

 such as Ben Davis. York Imperial and Newtown 

 Pippins, it may be better to omit the Bordeaux 

 spraying at this time. On apples that do scab 

 badly such as Winesaps, Smith Cider, Roman 

 Beauty and Black Twigs, however, it would be 

 better to combine the Bordeaux with the 

 Arsenate of Lead. The Arsenate of Lead 

 should be thinned with water as above, then 

 added to the Bordeaux, in the same manner as 

 where ordinary water is used.

Care should be taken that the Copper Sulphate 

 is neutral. 



Specify onr "OBCHABD BB AND " BLUK 

 STOITE, it is rn^ranteed 

 to be neutral. 



The Blue Stone should be 

 dissolved in a vat or tub by 

 itself. We recommend the 

 ■crystal as preferable to the 



ground. (Suspend Crystal 



Blue Stone in a muslin bag in the top of a bucket or tub of water and it will 

 readily dissolve in a short time. ) Only freshly slaked lime should be used, 

 and the slaking should be brought about with small quantities of water added 

 from time to time, so as to get an even slaking. The lime should be dissolved 

 by itself in a vat or tub. 



The solutions of Copper Sulphate and of Lime should be diluted separately, 

 and then both should be run simultaneously into a third tank or tub. 



A very simple test to determine whether the Bordeaux is properly made or 

 not is as follows : Insert a bright, clean penknife blade into the mixture, allow- 

 ing it to remain for at least a minute. If metallic copper forms on the blade, 

 or, in other words, if the polished surface of the steel assumes the color of cop- 

 per plate, the mixture is unsafe, and more lime must be added. If, however, 

 the blade of the knife remains unchanged, it is safe to conclude that the mixture' 

 is properly made. 



CAUTION. — Peach foliage is very delicate and great care must be exercised 

 in using Bordeaux Mixture to prevent burning. In all spraying with Bordeaux 

 Mixture care should be taken to select settled weather so far as possible, —dark 

 cloudy weather closely following the spraying with Bordeaux is liable to pro- 

 duce some injury.
