Henderson's Superior Fertilizers 



Adco Artifical Stable Manure 



Use Up Your Waste. Make It Yourself 



Dry leaves, mixed with Adco and kept moist, turn into excellent 

 manure. So do flower stalks, cuttings, pea vines, and almost any other 

 kind of non-woody vegetable waste. 



Adco is a powder which, mixed with vegetable matter and kept moist, 

 turns the latter into Real Manure, but without the odor, flies, etc. The 

 process is perfectly simple and not at all laborious. The method is being 

 generally adopted by gardeners, who know that manure is a necessity to 

 the soil and can no longer be obtained from stables. Farmers can use 



— Continued 



straw, corn stalks, etc., and need no longer maintain live stock. 



Each shipment is accompanied by simple directions, which make 



any mistake impossible 



PRICES FOR ADCO 



(Shipped by express or freight. Purchaser pays Transportation charges) 

 Adco, in 25-lb. bags, each $2.00 



(Enough for 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden waste, making one-half 

 ton of manure.) 

 Adco, in special 150-lb. bags, each $10.00 



(Enough for a heap 10 ft. x 10 ft. x 6 ft., making about three tons of 

 manure.) 



Acid Phosphate 



A high grade product of treated phosphate 

 rock. It is readily soluble, and is considered 

 as one of the best mediums for supplying the 

 much needed phosphorus to the soil. Price, 

 100 lbs., $3.00. 



Agricultural Salt 



Some crops, particularly asparagus, are 

 greatly benefited by an occasional application 

 of agricultural salt. Price, 50-lb. bag, $1.50, 

 100 lbs., $2.50. 



Ashes, Canada Hard Wood 



The use of Hard Wood Ashes has been asso- 

 ciated with American Agricultural practices 

 since our Colonial days. It was used almost 

 exclusively by the early New England farmers 

 as a source of potash. 



Although the supply of pure hard wood ashes 

 is rather limited, our stock is high grade, clean 

 and unleached. It is valuable for grass lands 

 and all crops requiring potash: it also has a 

 tendency to drive away insects and improve 

 the texture of the soil. Apply 1 to 2 tons to 

 the acre. Price, 100 lbs., $2.50, ton, $40.00. 



Blood and Bone — Henderson's Formula 



For Lawns, Sports Turf and Grasslands 



The high nitrogenous and phosphoric content 

 of this absolutely safe fertilizer has won for it a 

 great popularity among greenskeepers and 

 groundsmen for top-dressing sports turf. It is 

 also of exceptional value for garden crops, root 

 crops, corn, grain, small fruits, grape vines, 

 etc., and all grass lands. 



Quantity required. When broadcasted and 

 harrowed in, use from x /i to 1 ton per acre. For 

 garden crops drill in 300 to 500 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per 100-lb. bag, $4.50; ton, 2000 lbs., 

 $70.00. 



Arcadian Sulphate of 



Ammonia 



The most concentrated nitrogenous top- 

 dressing on the market. Ammonia 25 \i% guar- 

 anteed. Nitrogen in a form quickly available 

 but not readily leached from the soil. Arca- 

 dian excels in mechanical condition. It is fine 

 and dry, and easily spread by hand or by drill. 

 The crop producing power of the ammonia is 

 equal to that of any fertilizer. Arcadian is the 

 fertilizer for your orchard, for top-dressing 

 meadows and grain, and for your truck crops. 



The Arcadian Sulphate Ammonia is dry, 

 only 2% moisture. Do not confuse this with 

 the common sulphate ammonia, which is lumpy 

 and not soluble, offered by some dealers at 

 much cheaper price. Write for pamphlets.

 packed weight 11 lbs., $1.25. By express or

 ton, 2000 lbs., $65.00.

 ure. Although manufactured

 alkaline condition in the soil.

Lime, Hydrated, r ^Ad 



The value of lime as a soil improver is so well 

 known that little need be said about it here.

 itself, it is indispensable for correcting acid 

 soils, improving the mechanical condition of 

 the soil, for grass, farm crops, etc.

 $30.00. Price delivered in carload lots to your

Spent Mushroom Soil 



Mushroom Soil is composed largely of stable 

 manure, and is therefore rich in nitrogen and 

 valuable for its humus content. As it has been 

 in use in the mushroom beds for one year, it is 

 sufficiently decomposed to break up fine enough 

 for top-dressing, putting greens, lawns, etc. 



Furnished in carload lots only. Price on 

 application. 



Nitrate of Soda 



On account of the fact that Nitrate of Soda is 

 quickly dissolved and readily absorbed by 

 plants, it is the most available inorganic form 

 of nitrogen, that can be obtained. 



Apply between 100 and 150 lbs. to the acre. 

 Water in thoroughly to prevent burning. 



Price, 100 lbs., $6.50. Prices on larger quan-

 tity sold, by freight only. (American R. R.

 It produces a very beneficial .effect when applied 

 to hay or pasture fields at the rate of 100 to 150 

 lbs. to the acre. All root crops, potatoes, beets, 

 turnips, and the like, require a large proportion 

 of potash in order to develop properly. 



Price, 100 lbs., $7.00. Prices on larger quan- 

 tities on application. 



Potash, Sulphate of 



Is the most highly concentrated form in 

 which this very important plant food element 

 is obtainable. It should therefore be used with 

 caution and preferably mixed with other fer- 

 tilizers, using not over 125 lbs. of the sulphate 

 to the acre. 



Price, 100 lbs., $7.00. Prices on larger quan- 

 tities on application.
