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 organir 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 

 rapidlv 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. 



The Flower and Vegetable Garden is particularly benefited by the 

 use of Henderson's Pulverized Sheep Manure. 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. L'se 100 pounds per thousand square feet. Scatter broadcast 

 over the old lawn or rake_ thoroughly into the top soil a day or two before 

 seeding a new one.

 post, allow postage in accordance with zone rates on page 1. 25-1 b. bag. 

 Quantities 2o lbs. or over must be shipped by express or freight. 



Farm Crops, hay fields, grains, etc.: respond wonderfully to an applica- 

 tion of Henderson's Pulverized Sheep Manure. The qnantity required 

 ranges from 1500 to 2000 lbs. to the acre, either drilled or broadcast. 



Florists and Gardeners use immense quantities of Henderson's 

 Pulverized Sheep Manure for greenhouse plant culture. In potting 

 soil one part Sheep Manure to six parts soil is the usual proportion. For 

 liquid, use one pound of the manure to five gallons of water. In carna- 

 tion, 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 rhlorophyl. 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's Pulverized 

 Sheep Manure.

Henderson's 

 Odorless 



Bone Meal 



Medium Fine, Excellent for Top Dressing Lawns 



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. 



Henderson's Odorless Bone Meal is far different from the vile, obnoxious 

 product that is usually sold and which contains a large percentage of 

 decomposed slaughter house tankage. Henderson's Odorless Bone Sleal 

 contains absolutely no adulterants and is therefore clean and pleasant to 

 usc. 



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. 



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

 200 sq. feet or 14 to 1 ton per acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 lbs. each. For 

 field and garden crops, J4 to 1 ton broadcast and harrowed in. For 

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

Ruhtized Poultry Manure 



The Richest of the Farm Manures, One of the Most 

 Desirable for Early Maturing Crops 



Poultry Manure is especially rich in nitrogen and potash, and is conse- 

 quently one of the most desirable for the fast growing early vegetable 

 crops. It contains no noxious weeds or germs, as it has been subjected 

 to an intense heat, in passing through the dryers. It may. also, be used 

 as a top dressing to be raked into the soil at the rate of from 60 to 100 lbs. 

 per 1,000 sq.ft. Prices, 100 lbs. 54.50; 500 lbs. 517.00. Prices on larger 

 quantities on application.

 container, attach to the faucet and water, 

 just as usual, with hose.

 trated plant food: each cake being equal 

 to five pounds of ordinary fertilizer when 

 applied in the old way.

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., 75c; 50 lbs., 51.25; 100 lbs., 52.00; 1,000 lbs., S13.00:

 tion. Send for Special Quotation on carload lots. 



Henderson's 

 Prepared 



Compost 



(Spent Mushroom Soil ) 



An Ideal Preparation for Top Dressing Gardens and Lawns — 

 Also for Window Boxes and House Plants. 



Compost is an indispensable commodity in all gardening operations 

 It is difficult to successfully grow greenhouse plants without it. and 

 it is an ideal mold for window and porch boxes and all house plants. 

 also for starting seedlings indoors. 



Henderson's Prepared Compost consists of well-rotted manure and soil, 

 which has been used in the growth of mushrooms When mushroom 

 beds are made up they require fresh manure and soil in proportion, and 

 after the crop has'been harvested the soil is removed from the beds It is 

 then an excellent compost for dressing lawns, flower beds, vegetable 

 gardens, etc. 



When applying to gardens, spade up the ground, level, and apply about 

 one inch of Henderson's Prepared Compost over the surface, and thorough- 

 ly rake into the soil. 



Excellent for mulching or top-dressing roses, evergreens and fruit trees 



For lawns, use 400 lbs. per 1000 square feet, broadcast evenly and rake 

 well into the soil If properly done, the growth of the grass will be tre- 

 mendously stimulated. When repotting plants this product is indespeus- 

 able in the preparation of the soil.
