EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN—Fertilizers 
Henderson’s Pulverized Sheep Manure 
A Valuable Fertilizer for Garden, Grass, Farm and Greenhouse Use 
Contains the Life-Giving Elements of Stable Manure in Concentrated Form 
Among the organic fertilizers Henderson’s Pulverized Sheep Manure is 
one of the most valuable. It contains all the essential plant food elements of 
stable manure, without the bulk and waste matter. It is assimilated rapidly 
by plant life and promotes a healthy and vigorous growth. Henderson’s 
Pulverized Sheep Manure is obtained direct by us from the largest American 
Sheep tanches. It is dried, screened, sterilized, ground and pulverized and 
is absolutely free from any adulteration; and contains a higher percentage 
fof available plant food elements than any other brand. As there are no 
‘viable weed seeds in this manure it may be used with safety under conditions 
where the use of stable manure would be unsatisfactory and even harmful. 
The Flower and Vegetable Garden is particularly benefited by the use of 
Henderson's Pulverized Sheep Manure because of the immediate availability 
of the plant food elements from which the plants can draw almost as soon as 
the manure is incorpgrated with the soil. This insures vigorous, sturdy 
growth, prolific bearing and early maturity. It should be spread at the rate 
of 100 pounds to one thousand square feet or 2000 to 3000 Ibs. to the acre 
applied after plowing just before the final harrowing. 
Grass thrives luxuriantly when fed with Henderson's Pulverized Sheep 
Manure. It is safe and simple to apply; because the fertilizing elements 
readily enter the soil, leaving no trash and refuse to blow about the grounds. 
Use 100 pounds per thousand square feet of surface. Scatter broadcast over 
the old lawn or rake thoroughly into the top soil a day or two before seeding 
anewone. A top-dressing at any time during the summer season will start 
new life and put new color and beauty into the lawn. 
Farm Crops, hay fields, grains, etc; tespond wonderfully to an application 
of Henderson’s Pulverized Sheep Manure and produce profitable crops. 
Run down farms can be rapidly brought back to fertility by using it in com- 
bination with cover crops forplowingunder. Owing toits high nitrogenous 
content 1t is recommended by practical growers for alfalfa, clover and other 
leguminous crops. Depending on soil conditions, the quantity required 
ranges from 1500 to 2000 lbs. to the acre, either drilled or broadcasted. 
Florists and Gardeners use immense quantities of Henderson’s Pulverized 
Sheep M anure for greenhouse plant culture. On account ofits concentrated, 
pulverized form, it is most desirable for mixing with potting soil, or to use 
in liquic form. In potting soil one part Sheep manure to six parts soil is 
the usual proportion altho the quantity varies, depending on the nature of 
the plants to be potted. For liquid, use one pound of the manure to five 
gallons of water. In carnation, chrysanthemum or rose houses it is often 
used for a light top-dressing. 
. House Plants, palms, ferns, etc., other conditions being favorable, will 
immediately manufacture a quantity of chlorophyl, which manifests itself 
by the rich green color of the foliage and more luxuriant growth of the plants 
when they receive an application of Henderson Pulverized Sheep Man- 
ure. It may either be applied in the dry state as a light top-dressing, orin 
liquid form every few weeks.

The great value of Bone Meal as a fertilizer was discovered many years 
ago. through the surprising effect it had on a dairy pasture. As is well 
known, one of the reasons why milk is so highly prized as a food for grow- 
ing children, is because of the phosphate of lime which it contains (about 1 
pound to 25 gallons of milk). It will therefore be seen that immense 
quantities of this important constituent are taken from the soil by grazing 
cattle: and it was found that the most efficacious manner in which this 
could be applied' was by broadcasting an application of Bone Meal on 
the pasture lands at the rate of 1 ton to the acre. 
Later investigations have also shown it to be an unrivaled fertilizer 
for numerous other crops. 
As the feeding rootlets of plants only assimilate their food in liquid 
form, it will be observed that a fertilizer that disintegrates slowly before 
it becomes soluble will supply plant food over along period of time. A 
fertilizer of this character will also not leach through a light soil before 
the plant growth is ready to take it up. 
It is for its slow disintegrating and long lasting qualities that Bone 
Meal is so very desirable for fertilizing all hard wooded plants,’ including 
flowering shrubs, fruit bushes, trees, and the like. 
As there is absolutely no danger of burning or causing rot in fleshy 
bulbs, including Tulips, Hyacinths, etc., a liberal application of Bone 
Meal mixed into the soil before planting them will be amply repaid for 
by the remarkable size and brilliancy of the flowers obtained. 
For Lawns it is a dependable fertilizer, as it contains the essential ele- 
ments that grass requires. It may be broadcast as a top-dressing at 
any time either in early spring or during the growing season with benefi- 
cial results. Farm crops, grains, etc., are all improved with the use of 
Bone Meal.

Henderson’s 
Pulverized 
Humus 
Nature’s Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 
_ Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance con- 
sisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have been ac- 
cumulating for countless ages. 
Our supply, which is obtained from a prehistoric lake basin, is dug, 
aerated and pulverized by specially designed machinery. On completion 
of its final preparatory treatment, it is delivered entirely free from any 
traces of acidity or sourness. It is fine and friable without any excess of 
moisture, though moist enough to maintain the bacterial life which it 
contains and that modern scientists assert is so important in supplying 
_ the life giving energy to the soil. 
Henderson’s Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply and 
serves many functions in the soil. It loosens heavy clayey soils and pro- 
motes aeration. It increases the moisture absorbing power of light, sandy 
soils and corrects the mechanical condition of medium soils. Unless there 
is a supply of humus in some form in the soil it is impossible to obtain 
satisfactory crops of either grass, vegetables or flowers. 
Henderson’s Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and is therefore 
very desirable for using in flats for starting seedlings indoors, also for 
potting bulbs and other house plants. 
We supply many carloads yearly to Golf Courses, Athletic Fields, etc.. 
where it is found to be invaluable for top-dressing the turf. Garden 
Crops, Flowers, Vegetables and Lawns all respond to liberal applications 
of Humus. 
Price, 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 Ibs., $1.50; 100 Ibs., $2.50; 1,000 Ibs., $15.00; 
ton, $28.00. By express or freight only, purchaser paying transportation.

Henderson’s Green Manuring 
Seed Mixture 
Sow this mixture and supply your soil with Manure and Humus. 
Since the horse has been relegated to the background, and the automo- 
bile has taken its place, it has become almost impossible for the home 
gardener to obtain manure. We have made a combination consisting of 
various rapid growing plants and legumes which will completely fill the 
deficiency of humus, and at the same time add nitrogen to the soil. 
Such a crop will also prevent washing out and leaching during winter. 
The time for gardeners to plant is the early fall in order to secure germina- 
tion before frost. The seeds may be broadcast, or if the last of the crops 
has not been removed, sown between the rows. In April or as soon as 
the ground can be worked, spade under and mix it well with the soil. 
While the mixture will usually be sown in the fall, it may also be sown in 
the spring or summer if the plot is not wanted for early crops. If sown 
then, the plants should be allowed to attain a growth of about a foot in 
height before being spaded under. 
Sow at the rate of 1 pound for 1,000 square feet.
