 UNLEHCHED CHNHDH HSHES. 



Mixture for a Perfect Fertilizer, spread on barn floor a layer of ashes, then a layer of 

 bone meal, at the rate of two tons ashes and five hundred pounds bone meal; moisten as you 

 place it ; in a week turn and moisten again. In one month the bone will be cut up, with no 

 danger attending, as there is in using acids, and at a cost of only $17 per ton for a fertilizer 

 equal to any you can buy at double the cost. If a little too moist, dry it with land plaster or 

 road dust. 



Quantity used for seeding land or lawns: plow up in August or September, and harrow; 

 sow on two tons of ashes, and harrow again ; then sow your seed, and bush. 



Quantity used, per acre, for top dressing: sow on one ton, with a little grass seed, and 

 harrow in with a horse-rake. 



Quantity used for Cultivated Crops: sow on two tons and harrow in'; at first hoeing, sow 

 on half a ton more. If the bone and ashes are used, one and a half tons will do. 



We are in a position to receive orders for carload lots of ashes. Cars contain about fifteen 

 tons, or 700 bushels, about fifty bushels to the ton, four bushels in a barrel, ten barrels to a ton. 

 These are approximate figures. Price, car lots, delivered track Boston or at places where the 

 freight is the same as from Canada to Boston, $12.00 per ton in bulk; put up in barrels, (about 

 150 barrels to car), per ton, $16.00. 



Price, small lots, at our Store, (about four bushels to the barrel,) $2.00 per barrel. 



Price, per ton, at our store, packed in barrels, $18.00. 



THE "QUEEN" MUSK MELON. 



The originator says of it : — "This melon is neither ex- 

 treme in size, but a fair average ; oval in shape ; thickly 

 netted surface ; with a rich green flesh, charged with an 

 almost superabundance of saccharine elements, and com- 

 bining the most luscious edible qualities to be found in the 

 musk melon family. It is, without exception, the finest 

 melon, all points considered, that I have ever grown, and I 

 unhesitatingly send it forth with confidence that it will take 

 care of itself, and need no advertising after it has been 

 thoroughly distributed." Price, 20 cents per packet. 



EARLY PROLIFIC MARROW SQUASH. 



This new Marrow Squash appears to be a valuable 

 acquisition ; for while it is remarkably productive, no 

 (variety can compete with it for earliness, it being 

 about twelve days ahead — s 

 of the Boston Marrow. ' 

 Its color is most attract- 

 ive, a brilliant orange- 

 red. Quality excellent. 

 A good keeper. 



Mr. E. L. Coy, one of 

 the largest squash grow- 

 ers in the United States, 

 pronounces it " the earli- 

 est and finest fall vari- 

 ety." Per lb., post-paid, 

 $2.50; ounce, 30 cents; 

 packet, 5 cts.

BECKERT'S CHART1ER RADISH. 



The^ originator claims that this radish, unlike most other va- 

 rieties, is of American origin, and is undoubtedly by far the best 

 variety, for all purposes, now in cultivation, possessing almost 

 every good quality than can be desired. It is perfectly adapted 

 for very early growth as well as summer and fall crops. In 

 quality it is unexcelled, being sweet and very tender, with hardly 

 the least perceptible pungency. It continues growing for a long 

 time without getting pithy or going to seed, and in many instances 

 remains in good edible condition till late in the summer, after 

 having grown to a very large size. In color it is deep crimson at 

 the top, shading to pure white at the tip. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 

 20 cents; pound, $1.25. 5
