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 

 il becomes soluble will supply plant food over a long period of time A 

 fertilizer of tins 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 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.

 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, Ilower 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 indispens- 

 able in the preparation of the soil.

n?eHzed Humus 



Pulverized 



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 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 hi 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. 



Hyper Pulverized 1 litmus is absolutely odorless and is therefore very 

 desirable for using in flats for starting seedlings indoors, also for polling 

 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.

Granulated Peat Moss 



This is an imported product consisting of the deposits of decayed moss 

 growth that have been accumulating for many years along the banks of 

 certain European lakes. It has been found that this product, which is 

 actually a granulated peal, is of invaluable importance as a soil con- 

 ditioner. Il adds organic matter (humus), improves the texture, con- 

 serves moisture and aerates the soil. 



Granulated Peat Moss is used extensively for mixing in soil for pot 

 plants, also window boxes, and it is an excellent medium in which to 

 grow bulbs. The rich mellow texture that it imparts to the soil with 

 which it is incorporated puts the soil in ideal condition for the making 

 of a lawn, a flower or vegetable garden. It is also used for mulching 

 Perennial and Hose beds as well as around Evergreens, both the broad- 

 leaved kinds, such as Rhododendrons, as well as the coniferous sorts.
