._ Wc herewith ofTrr thoroughly reliable and properly balanced chem- 

 ical fertilizers compounded for the best growth of various crops. Only the 

 choicest, most soluble and easily assimilated ingredients are employed, 

 and while quickly taken up by the plant will not waste in the soil.

 mercial fertilizers have become a necessity and that it is rot possible t" 

 produce maximum crops without their assistance even where good animal 

 manures arc used.

Garden Fertilizer 



Best Grade— Highly Concentrated 



Contains all the Food Elements Required for 

 Quality Vegetables and Flowers 



No successful gardening and farming operations can be carried on 

 without fertile soil. While most soils contain some of the plant food 

 elements in a natural form, these elements are often confined in the soil 

 in such a manner that a great period of time may elapse before they 

 become actually available as plant food. It is for this reason that a soil 

 analysis is often misleading inasmuch as it does not show the availa- 

 bility of the fertilizing elements. 



Practical fertility such as will produce a large, profitable crop, depends 

 on the actual available plant food content of the soil; and this plant food 

 must be supplied in such a form, so that it becomes quickly soluble, as 

 then only can it be assimilated by the plants. The most approved 

 method of maintaining a high degree of fertility in the soil is to work in 

 a liberal application of a well balanced, complete fertilizer before sowing 

 each crop. 



Henderson's Garden Fertilizer is strictly high grade, complete, highly 

 concentrated, fine and dry. It is free from objectionable odor, and 

 contains all the food elements needed by vegetables and flowers, for their 

 quick growth, early maturity and perfect development. This is a matter 

 of great importance particularly when growing vegetables, for those 

 that mature quickly are invariably finer flavored than if their develop- 

 ment is drawn over a more extended period. Early maturity is also of 

 vital importance for the commercial grower. 



The ingredients of Henderson's Garden Fertilizer are quickly soluble 

 and immediately commence to feed the plants when incorporated in the 

 soil, stimulating them into healthy, luxuriant growth, and feeding them 

 until the end of the season. Even if the soil has received an application 

 of stable manure. Henderson's Garden Fertilizer should be applied in 

 conjunction with it as manure is rich in nitrogen, but deficient in potash 

 and phosphoric acid, both of which are absolutely necessary in order to 

 furnish the plants with a properly balanced ration. 



Henderson's Garden Fertilizer is a properly balanced mixture, and 

 with its continued use especially if a system of crop rotation is followed, 

 a uniform degree of fei tiity may be maintained in the soil. It should be 

 applieS after plowing or digging and just before harrowing or raking at 

 the rate of % to 1 ton to the acre or 10 lbs. for plot 10 x 20 or 200 square 

 feet. A light top-dressing applied at intervals while a crop is growing, 

 will produce magnificent results. Prices:

Putting Green Fertilizer 



A Super -Grade Formula for Bent Grasses 



The fine-leaved Bent grasses used on Golf Courses require a carefully 

 compounded fertilizer of uniform analysis in order to obtain and main- 

 tain a uniform healthy turf growth. 



After making many laboratory and field tests, we have developed in 

 Henderson's Putting Green Fertilizer, a uniform blend of materials that 

 has obtained great favor amongst the greens keepers of many famous 

 golf courses. It is a supergrade mixture for golf courses and lawns that 

 are composed of the Bent Formula of Grasses. 



Price. 100 lbs. $5.75, prices for larger quantities quoted on request. 



Lawn Enricher SJeJe"" 



For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf 



Courses, Etc. It is Odorless, and Quickly 



Induces a Luxuriant Green Growth 



The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings also removes a 

 proportion of digested plant food. Therefore, ; f the luxuriance of a lawn 

 is to be maintained, it must be top dressed at least once a year with 

 suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean, odorless 

 lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green 

 growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, and a remark- 

 able improvement will soon be observed. If applied during the summer 

 use half of the quantity and water in thoroughly with a hose. The use 

 of "Henderson Lawn Enricher" entirely does away with the old practice 

 of top dressing lawns with stable manure, so objectionable on account 

 of unsightliness, disagreeable odors, so often full of weed seeds. 



For forming a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to go over an 

 area of 200 square feet, or 1.000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre, or a smaller 

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. Apply broadcast with machine or 

 by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet day and preferably just before 

 rain. If applied during the summer use half of the quantity and water 

 in thoroughly with a hose.

Tree and Shrub Food 



For Fruit and Shade Trees, Shrubs, Evergreens, 

 Bush Fruits, Grape Vines and Hedges 



Trees and Shrubs just as flower and vegetable plants put forth their 

 best efforts, their best flowers and fruits, when the soil is properly ferti- 

 lized. This fact is well known by modern orchardists who fertilize their 

 trees annually in order to keep them productive as well as in a healthy 

 and flourishing condition, so that they will withstand the attacks of 

 insects and fungous diseases. 



Henderson's Tree and Shrub Food increases the size and improves the 

 fruit on trees, bushes and vines, and the flowers of hardy shrubs. 



The quantity to tise for established plants depends upon their size. 

 From 1 to 2 lbs. each will suffice for most shrubs and vines. Trees with a 

 spread of about 10 feet require about 5 lbs. each. Those with a spread up 

 to 20 feet 10 lbs. Up to 30 feet 20 lbs. Up to 40 feet 35 lbs. Up to 

 50 feet 50 lbs. 



The food should be applied over the area covered by the overhang of 

 the tree. Where the ground is covered with grass, holes may be made 

 with a crow bar and these holes filled with the food. When setting out 

 young trees mix from 1 to 5 lbs. to each tree in the soil where they are 

 to be planted. When planting a hedge allow from % to > 2 lb. to each 

 plant. Directions for applying sent with each package.
