Henderson's 

 Medium Fine 



Bone Meal 



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. 



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 

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

 For field and garden crops, Hto \ ton broadcast and harrowed in. For rose 

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

PuiviXed Humus 



Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 



Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance 

 consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have been 

 accumulating for countless ages. 



Our supply, which is obtained from a prehistoric lake basin, is dug, 

 aerated and pulverized by specially designed machinery. 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. 



Hyper 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 pow r er 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. 



Hyper 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. Prices:

Henderson's Pf.^.^j,,! 

 Prepared i^OIIipOSt 

 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 mush- 

 room 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 1 inch of Henderson's Prepared Compost over the surface, and 

 thoroughly rake into the soil. 



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

 trees. 



For lawns, use 400 lbs. per 1,000 square feet, broadcast evenly and 

 rake well into the soil. If properly done, the growth of the grass will be 

 tremendously stimulated. When repotting plants this product is indis- 

 pensable in the preparation of the soil. Prices:
