Bone Fertilizers. 



Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form 

 excellent permanent improvement, less likely than 

 any other fertilizer to waste. With bone there is no 

 danger of burning the plants. Excellent for top- 

 dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and field 

 crops. 



Quantity required. For •permanent pasture and 

 ■mpwing lands, i to 1 ton per acre. For trees and 

 vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 

 1,500 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, ^ to 

 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For rose beds, 

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



Raw Bone Meal, This is ground very fine, de- 

 composes more rapidly in the soil than the coarser 

 grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.

 prolonged results; it is of e.veeptional value for gar- 

 den crops, root crops, corn, grain, grasses, fruit trees, 

 small fruits, grape vines, and, in fact, all kinds of 

 vegetation.

PLANT FOOD TABLETS. 



Quickly dissolve in Water, making Liquid Fertilizer.

 FOR HOUSE and GARDEN PLAINTS, 



It is folly to pay transportation charges on water. 

 This is what you do when buying "liquid fertilizers." 

 You can avoid this unnecessary expense by using 

 Henderson's Plant Food Tablets, which make an 

 honest, high-grade, odorless liquid fertilizer that goes 

 right to the feeding roots. One tablet to each 

 gallon of water applied with a watering pot once or 

 twice a month feeds plants, supplying their trio of 

 needed essentials — nitrogen, phosphoric acid and 

 potash — in a pure, concentrated, thoroughly soluble 

 and instantly assimilable form. A scientifically- 

 balanced plant ration that promotes and sustains 

 vigorous health, luxuriant growth, abundant and 

 richly colored flowers.

'^The HENDERSON (ru°i?^!i^c\^fN=5) LAWN ENRICHER.' 



^-■^-^1^'^ 



A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing which we have foimd to be never-failing in inducing \^ 

 a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can be put 

 on during the summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remark able improvement will - - ^ 

 soon be observed. It is in every way more desirable than manure, which is so often full of weed seeds. -^- ' // 



The use of "Henderson's Lawn Enricher" entirely doesaway with the old practice of top-dressing lawns "* 



with stable manure, which was so objectionable on account of unsightliness and disagreeable odors. 

 Quantity required. A 10 lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a new lawn, from 1 ,000 to 1 ,500 lbs. 

 quarmty for renovating an old one. Price, 5 lb. package 25c.; 101b. package, 45c.; 25 lb. bag, $1.00; 501b. bag, $1.75; 100 lb. bag, $3.00;
