BONE FERTILIZERS. 



Decompose slowly in the soil and therefore less likely than any other fer- 

 tilizer to waste. _ With bone there is no danger of burning the plants. 



Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and mowing lands, $ 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, I to 1 ton broadcasted and harrowed in. 



Raw Bone Meal. This is ground very fine and decomposes more rapidly in 

 the soil than the coarser grades and is therefore more quickly beneficial. 



Price, 10U lb. bag, S2.50; 200 lb. bag. $4.25; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $40.00. 



Raw Ground Bone. This is moderately fine and particularly adapted for 

 ■general fertilizing; the finer particles are immediately assimilated, the coarse 

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



Price per 100 lb. bag, $2.50; 200 lb. bag, $4.25; per ton of 2.000 lbs., $40.00. 



Raw Crushed Bone. Invaluable in the preparation of land for the laying 

 down of new lawns, grass lands, etc., being slow but permanent in action, in- 

 dispensable in the preparation of grapevine borders — for fruit trees, small fruits, 

 etc. — where a lasting fertilizer is required. 



Price per 100 lb. bag, $3.00; 200 lb. bag. $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $45.00.

HENDERSON'S SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 



BETTER THAN ANIMAL MANURES. 



We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 

 fertilizers, compounded for the best growth of various crops. Having made 

 a careful study for many years of plant fertilization we have had exceptional 

 opportunities for determining the proper materials for producing the greatest 

 yield as well as early maturity. 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. Our fertilizers contain no weed seeds, 

 have no disagreeable odor, are fine, dry and easily applied. 



It is well understood among intelligent 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. 



We are confident that no better commercial manures can be made than 

 Henderson's Special Fertilizers. 



No horn, leather, hair, marl or other insoluble materials enter into the com- 

 position of our fertilizers.
