HENDERSON'S LAWN ENRICHER. 



A fertilizer which we have found to be never 

 failing in inducing a rapid and rich green growth 

 to the lawn. It meets the wants of hundreds who 

 desire a clean, portable and convenient lawn 

 dressing.

 cient to go az>er an area o/joosqiiare/eet^or/crfortning 

 a. neiu laiun^ _from i,ooo to 1,500 lbs. per acre., or a 

 Sfnaller quantity /or renovating att old one.

Quantity Required. 1,000;';! :i,ooo lbs. per acre. 



Price, per bbl or bag of 200 lbs., $6.00, or $50.00 

 per ton (of », 000 lbs.) 



ROTTEN BONE MANURE. 



This is one of the best fertilizers for its price 

 that has ever come under our notice. Mr. Wm. 

 Crozier, who first called our attention to it, states 

 that used on farm crops for mangels, potatoes, 

 turnips, fodder corn, etc., it is one of the most 

 valuable fertilizers that he ever tried. At the 

 low price at which it is sold, it will be seen that 

 it makes an exceedingly cheap fertilizer. One 

 reason why it is sold so low is that it is not 

 ground up as fine as most of the fertilizers 

 that are offered in the market. 



Quantity Required. It should be broadcasted 

 on and harroived in at the rate 0/ 1.500 lbs. per acre. 

 We offer it in two grades, as follows: Plain, $22.00 



per ton (of 2,000 lbs); Decomposed with Pot- 

 ash, $24 00 per ton (of 2,000 lbs.) 



BLOOD AND BONE. 



Manufactured of pure blood and bone. This 

 fertilizer is a very cencentrated source of nitrogen 

 yielding ammonia, etc. , by gradual decomposition 

 and in consequence is superior for prolonged 

 results, it is of exceptional value for garden crops, 

 for mangels, turnips and other root crops and 

 also for com, grain and grasses, for fruit trees, 

 small fruits grape vines, and in fact all kinds of 

 vegetation and all soils, but especially so on 

 light soils. 



Quantity Required. When applied broadcast 

 and harro^ved in _fro7n^ }^ to I ion per acre should be 

 used. For garden crops it can be applied in the drills 

 300 to 500 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per barrel of about 200 lbs., $5.00; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., $45.00. 



BOISTE FEPtTILIZEPLS. 



These are the true phosphatic manures, containing forty to fifty per cent, phosphate of lime and nitrogen equal to about four per cent of ammonia. 

 They decompose slowly in the soil and therefore form excellent permanent improvement, being less likely than almost any other kind of manure to 

 waste in rainy seasons, particularly on sandy soils. There is no danger of burning the plants, whether applied as top dressing or directly to the roots. 

 Excellent for top dressing lawns and grass land — for garden and field crops — we also recommend them highly for florist purposes, for rose beds, mixing 

 with potting soil, etc. 



Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and moTuing lands. )4 to i ionper acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top dressing jooo w V, rr 

 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, ^/i to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. For Rose beds, pot plants, etc., z part to about 50 of soil. 



Bone Meal, Flour or Dust- This is ground 



ver>^ fine, decomposes more rapidly in the soil than the 

 coarser g ades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial. 



Price, r lb. package, IOC, (ij'OTiz//, 15c. /cr//5.fj-^r<z.) 

 5 lb. package, 30c.; 10 lb. package, 50c.; 23 lb. bag, Si. 25; 

 50 lb. bag. S2.00 ; 100 lb bag. $3.50 ; 200 lb. bag or barrel, 

 $6.00 ; per tun of 2,oco lbs, §45.00. 



Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and 

 particularly adapted for general fertilizing purposes, the 

 finer particles are immediately beneficial ; the coarse 

 keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, §3.00 ; 200 lb. bag, $5.00 ; per 

 ton of 2,ooo lbs., $42.00. 



Pure Crushed or Coarse Bone. This is 



largely used for pasture lands, being rather slow but per- 

 manent in action, and it is also indispensable in the prepara- 

 tion of grape vine borders — for fruit trees, small fruits, 

 etc. — where a lasting fertilizer is required. 



Price, per 100 lb. bag, §3.00; 200 lb. bag, $5.50; 

 per ton of 2,000 lbs. $.15.00. 



BOWKER'S FOOD FOR FLOWERS. 



An excellent fertilizer for house plants. Easily applied 

 by dissolving in water. Clean to handle, without odor, 

 produces rich sreen growth, and profusion of flowers. 



Price, small packages, 15c., or by mail, 20c. Large 

 packages, enough for twenty plants one year, 25c., or by 

 mail, 40c. 



PERUVIAN GUANO. 



{Lobos-IsIa?id Brand,\ 



One of the most important artificial fertilizers, containing 

 considerable quantities of nitrogen and phosphoric acid as 

 manure phosphate in a soluble form, and is immediately 

 available as plant food. It is estimated that one ton of 

 guano, is equal totwenty of farm yard manure. For grain, 

 com, root and potato crops it is unsurpassed. 



Quantity Required. For yield aizd garden 

 crops 400 to 500 pounds per acre soivn broadcast and 

 harroived in before the seeds are soiun ; for top dressing 

 grass it should be C07nposed one- fourth g?(aJio a7td three- 

 fourths soil. i,2C» to T,srO pounds of this jnijcture 

 should be applied broadcast in the spring. 



Price, I lb. package, 10c., {by 7nazl^ add i^c per lb. 

 ixtra)^ 10 lb. package, 50c.; 25 lb. bag, $1.25 ; 50 lb. bag, 

 $2.00 : ion lb. bag, $3.50 ; zoo lb. bag, $6,00 ; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., S45.00 



BONE SUPEP^PHOSPHATE. 



Benefits the crops more quickly than with any other form 

 of bone, and on account of its readily available properties 

 promotes early maturity, and it is invaluable for most crops, 

 affording constant nou ishment during their entire season's 

 growth. In case of rotation of crop it is nearly as valu- 

 able for the last as for the first. 



Quantity Required. For garden and f eld 

 crops 500 to 600 lbs. per acre ; for garden crops it is best 

 drilled in at seed sowing time. For top dressing grass ^ 

 600 lbs. per acre. 



Price, per bag of 200 lbs ,$5.00 ; per ton of 2,000 lbs.. 



ASHES. 

 Canada Unleached Hard Wood. 



These contain all of the fertilizing elements except 

 nitrogen. The carbonate of lime in these ashes is wrth 

 five times as much as stone lime, being much more soluble 

 and easily assimilated by plants. Ashes correct sourness 

 in the soil, rendering sandy soils more capable of retaining 

 fertilizers and making clav soils less stiff and more easily 

 worked. They drive away insects, and are indispensable for 

 all crops requiring potash. They are very beneficial for 

 garden and field crops, and are of high value for cabbages, 

 potatoes, onions, strawberries, fruit trees, com, clover, 

 wheat, beans, grass lands and lawns. 



Quantity Required. Ashes should be applied 

 ijz co7isiderable quantities, i to 2 tons as OJie hea^'y appli- 

 cation ivill help 7nz<ck 7nore than the same qziajitHy 

 ivould, applied izi fractions. 



Price, per bbl. of about 200 lbs. $3.00; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., .'^24. 00. 



LAND PLASTER OR GYPSUM. 



It is an excellent addition to land requiring lime 

 and sulphates, particularly for such crops as turnips, 

 potatoes, grasses and clovers. Its fertilizing action is not 

 so much due to its value as a plant food, as to its absorbing 

 and fi.vmg ammonia and rendering soluble the inert plant 

 foods of the soil so the growing crops can take them up. 



Quantity Required. Broadcasted and kar- 

 voiced in Yz to i tL>n Per ac?-c. 



Price, $2 00 per barrel of about 280 lbs.; in 10 barrel 

 lots, at $1.75. 



NITRATE OF SODA. 



This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal 

 to twenty per cent, of ammonia. It is chiefly a stimulant, 

 it is used in addition to other fertilizers. It 's V'-ry qiick 

 in action and hastens the maturity of crops fully two 



weeks and besides renders the mineral plantfood of the 

 soil more assimilable. It is valuable forgrain, fodder corn, 

 sugar beets, potatoes, grasses, peas, beans, clover, etc., 

 and is generally an effectual remedy for clover sick land. 



Quantity Required. Being extremely soluble 

 it should 7iot be applied ujztil the plants are above 

 ground^ ivhe7i 100 to t^o pounds per acre^ 7tzix€d 'with 

 tvood ashes or latid plaster, for co?tve7Z2e7zce in applying 

 is generally ztsed. 



Price, per bag of about 300 lbs., $0.00; per ton of 

 2,000 lbs., $55.00. 



SULPHATE OF AMMONLi. 



Contans nitrogen equal to twenty-five per cent, ammonia. 

 It is one of the most concentrated forms m which ammonia 

 can be applied, and is at the same time one of the most 

 active and .eadily available forra=. For grain, com, 

 potatoes and other crops it is used with grea' success. 



Quantity Required, i^o to i. a lbs per acre, 



mixed -,uith -.cood ashes /or convenience in applying, and 

 harrowed in and covered with soil toprevent escape in the 

 atmosphere. 



Price, per ba^ of 200 lbs., $p.oo ; $So.oo per ton of 

 2,0j0 lbs. 



POTASH MANURES. 



Potash is a valuable addition to other manures, for a 

 considerable number of crops, especially for grain grasses, 

 clover, beans, peas, mangels turnips and potatoes. 



Quantity Required. It is best applied in the 



spr ngat t':" rale of j^^ to 200 lbs per acre mixed with 

 superphosphates or other /crtilizers. 



Muriat of Potash. Contains 50 percent, actual 

 potash. Price, re r bag of about 224 lbs., $6.50; per
