H ENDERSON'S SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 



We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 

 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. 



It is well understood among progressive farmers, that commercial fertilizers 

 have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops 

 without their assistance even where good animal manures are used. 



HENDERSON'S CORN FERTILIZER. 



A perfectly balanced complete fertilizer containing a large percentage of 

 phosphoric acid, the most essential element in the production of maximum 

 corn crops. Nitrogen and potash are also supplied in sufficient quantities to 

 form a perfect maize plant ration. 



Price, per ton. .«37.00; 200 lbs.. $4.50; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 

 $1.00. Guaranteed Analysis. Nitrogen 2.47%; Available Phosphoric Acid 

 10.00%; Potash Actual 5.00%,. 



Quantity Required. Use 400 to 600 lbs., per acre. Half broadcast and balance 

 ill hills or drill mixivg-thoronghly with the soil before planting. 



HENDEFkSON'S 



CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER FERTILIZER. 



Contains generous quantities ammonia and potash so necessary for the pro- 

 duction of large solid heads. The ammonia being in the form of nitrate of soda. 

 the potash as sulphate, make the highest grade manure it is possible to com- 

 pound for the best growth of cabbage, cauliflower and other Brassica crops. 

 The liberal use of this special manure will produce large, compact white and 

 perfectly formed cauliflower and big, hard, crisp cabbage. 



Price, $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs.. $5.00; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 

 $1.00. Guranteed Analysis. Nitrogen 4.11%; Available Phosphoric Acid 

 7.00%; Potash 7.00%. 



Quantity Required. For early cabbage and cauliflower use 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. 

 per acre broadcast and 400 lbs. in hills, scattering well and mixing thoroughly 

 'with the soil. For late cabbage and cajdi flower, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. broadcast and 

 300 lbs. in hills, mixing thoroughly with the soil. 



HENDERSON'S POTATO FERTILIZER. 



The highest grade complete potato manure it is possible to compound. The 

 potash, derived from sulphate potash, produces tubers rich in starch, and of the 

 finest quality, and does not need the addition of animal manure or other fer- 

 tilizing agents to grow maximum crops of clean, well formed, marketable tubers.

 hills or drill, mixing thoroughly with the soil before planting. It is essential in 

 order to produce maximum crops that the ground be deeply and thoroughly stirred 

 before planting and the fertilizer well harrowed in. Potatoes require a loose, friable 

 soil to at.ain perfection.
