Henderson's Pulverized Sheep Manure 



A Valuable Fertilizer for Garden, Grass, Farm and Greenhouse Use 

 Contains the Lif e-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 ranches. It is dried, screened, sterilized, ground and pulverized and 

 is absolutely free from any adulteration; and contains a higher percentage 

 'pf 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 incorporated with the soil. Thfs 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 lbs. 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 

 a new one. A top-dressing at any time during the summer season will start 

 new life and put new color and beauty into the lawn. 



Price, Pulverized Sheep Manure, in package, 5 lbs., 50c. parcel post 

 post, allow postage in accordance with zone rales on page 1. 25-lb. bag 

 Quantities 25 lbs. or over must be shipped by express or freight. 



Farm Crops, hay fields, grains, etc; respond 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 for plowing under. Owing to its high nitrogenous 

 content it 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 Manure for greenhouse plant culture. On account of its concentrated, 

 pulverized form, it is most desirable for mixing with potting soil, or to use 

 in liquid 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, or in 

 liquid form every few weeks.

 Medium Fine 



Bone Meal 



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 arc 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 a long 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 cither 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. 



Quantity required. For luwns, pasture and mowing lands. 10 lbs. to 

 200 sq. feet or M to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 lbs. each. For 

 field and garden crops, 14 to 1 ton broadcast and harrowed in. For 

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



Price, 5 lbs., 50c, parcel post weight fi lbs.; 10 lbs., 90c, parcel post 

 weight 11 lbs. If wanted by parcel post, allow postage in accordance 

 with zone rates on page 1. By express or freight only, 25-lb. bag, $1.50; 

 50-lb. bag, $2.50; 100-lb. bag. $4.50; per ton, $65.00. 



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 

 trans 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. 



I [enderson'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 dais 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., 75c; 50 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs.. $2.00; 1,000 lbs., $13.00;

 tion. Send for Special Quotation on carload lots. 



FERTILATOR AND FERT-G-STIX 



An Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder 



Fertilizes and Waters in one operation 



You merely slip a Fert-o-Stix into the container, attach to the faucet and water, 

 just as usual'with hose. 



Fert-o-Stix arc soluble cakes of concentrated plant food; each cake being equal 

 to five pounds of ordinary fertilizer when applied in the old way. 



The water swirling around the lower end of the Fert-o-Stix eats it away at the 

 base. Due to its own weight, the stick as it is washed away at the end exposed to 

 the water drops gradually down the tube until all of it is dissolved. 



The speed at which it is dissolved can be adjusted by a disk at one side of the 

 Fertilator, so that the stick may be used up in twenty minutes or in three hours, 

 according to the strength of the solution desired. 



Fert-o-Stix is rich in the necessary nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash that go 

 to make up a perfect fertilizer. The Fertilator makes these elements immediately 

 available for nourishing the growing plants.
