The application of Fertilizers has been a topic much discussed among fanners generally. The quality and requirements of the soil are so 

 varied, some lands being deficient in Potash. Phosphoric Acid, or some other chemical ingredient, that it is frequently very difficult for the farmer 

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



Animal Bone Phosphate. 



Hade principally from Animal Bone, Potash 

 and Ammoniates in proper proportion. A com- 

 plete manure always gives good results. Spe- 

 cially adapted to the growth of Peas. Cabbage. 

 Wheat and Grass— it contains all the ingre- 

 dients necessary to supply what may be lacking 

 in the soil for almost any crop. 



Price, 828.00 per ton. 



Ammoniated Alkaline 

 Plant Food. 



Our old stand-by for summer crops ; is used 

 largely on Potatoes, Corn. Tobacco and other 

 summer crops, stands the hot. dry weather par- 

 ticularly welL 



Price, 82*. 60 per ton. 



Ammoniated Butchers' 

 Bone Phosphate. 



Is made largely from slaughter-house stock ; 

 used principally for Wheat and Grass, as well 

 as by growers of Corn and Tomatoes for can- 

 ning purposes ; a good article at a low price. 

 Price, 822.50 per ton. 



Soft Ground Bone. 



Hade from softer material than the regular 

 "Ground Bone. " and contains some little meat 

 and blood. The great objection to the use of 

 Pure Bone (the price) no longer prevents its 

 use by anyone wanting to restore worn-out 

 land. Try it and be convinced. 



Price, 827.00 per ton. 



Dissolved Bone. 



Hade from stock containing some meat, thor- | 

 oughly dissolved, and in fine drilling condition. 



HYDRATED LIME 



AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES. 

 ADVANTAGES OF OUR HYDRATED LIME. 



It will keep indefinitely. 

 It is chemically pulverized, and not 

 ground. 



It is in available form for immediate 

 use. 



It is pure, strong hydrate. 

 It contains no air-slaked lime. 

 It will not injure the most delicate 

 plant. 



It is cheaper and better than fertilizer. 

 It improves and does not exhaust the 

 soil. 



The following is an analysis of our 

 lime-stone : 



Calcium Carbonate - - 92.64 

 Magnesium Carbonate, 4.75 



Silica, 1.30 



Iron and Alumina, - - .28 

 Which shows it to be one of the 

 strongest. As all limes sell at about 

 the same price, the cheapest lime is the 

 purest or strongest — this is equally 

 true of the hydrate made from differ- 

 ent limes.

Farmers wishing a fertilizer for Immediate 

 action will find in this brand a reliable manure 

 of good value, and one whose good effect can 

 be seen for a long time. 



Price, 827.00 per ton. 



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. sufficient 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.

How to make INSECTICIDES 



FUNGICIDES. 



BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 



Copper Sulphate 6 pounds. 



Quicklime 4 pounds. 



Water — 40-50 gallons. 



Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting in a 

 bag of coarse cloth and hanging this in a vessel 

 holding at least 4 gallons, so that it is j ust cov- 

 ered by the water. Use an earthen or wooden 

 vessel. Slake the lime in an equal amount of 

 water. Then mix the two, and add enough 

 water to make 40 gallons. It is then ready for 

 immediate use, but will keep indefinitely. If 

 the mixture is to be used on peach foliage, it is 

 advisable to use an extra pound of lime to the 

 above formula When applied to such plants as 

 carnations or cabbages, it will adhere better if 

 about a pound of hard soap be dissolved in hot 

 water and added to the mixture. For rots, 

 molds, mildews, and all fungous diseases. 



COPPER SULPHATE SOLUTION. 



Copper Sulphate 1 pound. 



Water 15 gallons. 



Dissolve the copper sulphate in the water, 

 when it is ready for use. This should never be | 

 applied to foliage, but must be used before the 

 buds break. For peaches and nectarines, use 

 25 gallons of water. For fungous diseases. 



INSECTICIDES. 



KEROSENE EMULSION. 



Hard Soap H pound. 



Boiling Water 1 gallon. 



Kerosene 2 gallons. 



Dissolve the soap in water, add the kerosene: 

 and churn with a pump for 5 to 10 minutes. Di- 

 lute 10 to 25 times before applying. Use strong 

 emulsion for all scale insects. For insects 

 which suck, as plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider, 

 thrips, bark lice, or scale. Cabbage worms, 

 currant worms, and all insects which have soft 

 bodies, can also be successfully treated.

 plant food, clean to handle, and its effect is 

 immediate and lasting. There is nothing better 

 to mix with soil for potting plants. Florists who 

 use it extensively advise mixing about one-sev- 

 enths manure and six-sevenths soil. As a top 

 dressing for lawns, it is unequalled.
