 ment is drawn over a more extended period. It should be applied

 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.

BONE MEAL SrdtrF>e 



Excellent for Top Dressing Lawns 



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 o^ 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.

 elements that grass requires. It may be broadcast as a top-dressing 

 at any time either in early spring or during the growing season.

 removes a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore, if 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, lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a 

 rapid and rich green growth. 



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.

HUMUS ?„Tvt; 



Pulverized 

 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. 



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 promotes 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. 



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.

 Wizard Brand 



Contains the Life-Giving Elements of Stable Manure in 



Concentrated Form, Dried, Screened, Sterilized, Ground 



and Pulverized. 



The Flower and Vegetable garden is particularly benefited by the 

 use of Pulverized Sheep Manure. It should be spread at the rate of 

 100 lbs. to 1,000 square feet or 2.000 to 3,000 lbs. to the acre, applied 

 after plowing just before the final harrowing. 



Grass thrives luxuriantly when fed with Pulverized Sheep Manure. 

 Use 100 lbs. per 1.000 square feet. Scatter broadcast over the old 

 lawn or rake thoroughly into the top soil a day or two before seeding 

 a new one. 



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

 application of Pulverized Sheep Manure. The quantity required 

 ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. to the acre, either drilled or broadcast. 



Florists and Gardeners use immense quantities of 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 1 lb. of the manure to 5 gallons of water. In carnation, 

 chrysanthemum or rose houses it is often used for a light top-dressing.
