 1 rCiiV 1 1L*1Z*CIV^ LAWN and GARDEN.] 



The application of Fertilisers has been a topic much discussed amonsr farmers generally. The quality and requirements of the son are so 

 ruled, some lands beinf deficient in Potash. Phosphoric Acid, or some other chemical ingredient, that it is frequently very dilflcult for the farmer 

 to determine just what mixture he needs. We eixe below a line of fertilizers best adapted to the various soils and orops- 



Animal Bone Phosphate. 



Made principally from Animal Bone, Potash 

 and Ammoniates in proper proportion. A com- 

 plete manure always gives good results. Spe-

 dients necessary to supply what may be lacking 

 in the soil for almost any crop.

 Soluble Bone Phosphate. 



A good cheap Fertilizer, Quite a number of 

 chemists claim that Ammonia adds very much 

 to the cost of Fertilizers without being of much 

 agricultural value : that is. sufQcient Ammonia 

 can be obtained from the atmosphere, etc., etc. 

 Whether or not this theory is correct quite a 

 number of people have used our Soluble Bone 

 with very satisfactory results. To supply such 

 a trade we offer the above.

^ ARSENATE OF LEAD 



Is better than Paris Green, Green Arsenoid, 

 Arsenite of Lime or Arsenite of Soda for the 

 following reasons ; 



1. It sticks after being sprayed, even heavy 

 rains closely following the spraying do not 

 wash it off. 



i. It will not scald the buds, thu« enabllns 

 n* use at a safficient strengtb to Incnre results. 



3. It gives from one-third to one-half more 

 benefit than all other forms of arsenlcals. 



The chief disadvantages of Paris Green 

 Green Arsenoid, Arsenite of Lime and Arsen- 

 ite of Soda are that : 



1. It cannot be used at sufficient strength to 

 give good results on account of its caustic 

 nature. 



2. It is washed off by the first heavy rains 

 compelling re-sprajlng. 



DIRECTIONS for using ARSENATE OP 

 LEAD :-0n Apple and Pear trees use from 3 

 to lbs. to 30 gals, of water ; on Peach. 2 lbs. 

 to 50 gals, of water, 



To prepare for use take the desired quantity 

 of Arsenate of Lead and add enough water to 

 make a tnin paste, then add it to the volume of 

 water, we suggest filling the spray barrel two- 

 thirds full of water, then add the Arsenate of 

 Lead first thinned with water, then fill the 

 spray barrel. This will thoroughly mix the 

 whole lot For spraying Arsenate of Lead 

 there should be an agitator on the pump in 

 order to keep it in good suspension. 



Spray Apple and Pear trees to prevent COD- 

 LING MOTH within ten days after the peUls of 

 the blossoms fall in order to lodge the poison in 

 the calyx before It closes. Bordeaux Mixture 

 can be combined with Arsenate of Lead at this 

 time, although on apples that do not scab badly 

 such as Ben Davis. York Imperial and Newtown 

 Pippins, it may be better to omit the Bordeaux 

 spraying at this time. On apples that do scab 

 badly such as Winesaps, Smith Cider, Roman 

 Beauty and Black Twigs, however, it would be 

 better to combine the Bordeaux with the 

 Arsenate of Lead. The Arsenate of Lead 

 should be thinned with water as above, then 

 added to the Bordeaux, in the same manner as 

 where ordinary water is used.

PORMULye AND DIRECTIONS: 



We recominefld tbe following : 



For Apple lad For Peach 

 Pear Trees. TcMt. 



Blui Stone (Copper Sulphate) 6 lbs. 4 lbs. 

 LImi • ' 4 lbs. 4 lbs. 



Water SO gal. 50 gal. 



Care should be taken thatlthe Copper Sulphate 

 is neutral. 



Specify oar "OBCHABD BRAND" BI.UB 

 8TOXE, it is guaranteed 

 to be neutrsl. 



The Blue Stone should be 

 dissolved in a vat or tub by 

 itself. We recommend the 

 crystal as preferable to the 



ground. (Suspend Crystal 



Blue Stone in a muslin bag in the top of a bucket or tub of water and it will 

 readily dissolve in a short time.) Only freshly slaked lime should be used, 

 and the slaking should be brought about with small quantities of water added 

 from time to time, so as to get an even slaking. The lime should be dissolved 

 by itself in a vat or tub. 



The solutions of Copper Sulphate and of Lime should be diluted separately, 

 and then both should be run simultaneously into a third tank or tub. (See Cut.) 



A very simple test to determine whether the Bordeaux is properly made or 

 not is as follows : Insert a bright, clean penknife blade into the mixture, allow- 

 ing it to remain for at least a minute. If metallic copper forms on the blade, 

 or, in other words, if the polished surface of the steel assumes the color of cop- 

 per plate, the mixture is unsafe, and more lime must be added. If, however, 

 the blade of the knife remains unchanged, it is safe to conclude that the mixture 

 is properly made. 



CAUTION. — Peach foliage is very delicate and great care must be exercised 

 in using Bordeaux Mixture to prevent burning. In all spraying with Bordeaux 

 Mixture care should be taken to select settled weather so far as possible, —dark 

 cloudy weather closely following the spraying with Bordeaux is liable to pro- 

 duce some injury.

HARDWOOD ASHES, 



UNLEACHED. 



Most excellent for Lawn dressing or orchards. Apply late in the tall or early sprmg, m order tnat the 

 rains may leach the ashes and carry the elements down to the roots of the trees or grass. These ashe,-; are 

 in proper condition tor Immediate use. Apply at rate of 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre.
