BRADLEY'S SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME 



Is a high-grade chemical fertilizer of uniform quality; its mechanical condition is unsurpassed', 

 it furnishes the plant-food constituents in proper proportions, being a complete manure for all 

 ■crops ; its lasting qualities are astonishing, a single application showing its effects for several 

 years; it adds permanent fertility to the soil; it has never failed to give satisfaction when it has 

 been intelligently used, having now stood the test for over twenty years on all the different crops, 

 and on all kinds of land. 



Even where barnyard manure can be had in abundance, an application of phosphate is indis- 

 pensable in order to insure a quick start, vigorous growth, and early maturity, as well as a largely 

 increased yield in the crops. 



It is a much cheaper fertilizer than stable manure; as it costs much less in proportion to the 

 -amount of plant-food it contains, — one ton of it containing more plant-food than many cords of 

 manure. It is free from weed seeds, easier to handle, and produces larger crops of far better 

 quality. 



Send for forty-eight page pamphlet, containing full information as to quantities 

 required for the different crops ; also hundreds of testimonials, etc. 



Price, 50-pound bag, $1.25; 100-pound bag, $2.25; barrels of about 250 pounds, 2 cents per 

 pound ; per ton (about eight barrels), $40.00; 5-pound boxes, 30 cents. 



DARLING'S ANIMAL FERTILIZER. 



The animal fertilizer is made from fine bone, animal dust, dried blood, muriate of potash 

 •(eighty per cent). The analysis is ten per cent of ammonia, eleven per cent of phosphoric acid, 

 and ten per cent of muriate potash, the latter being equal to five per cent of real potash. This 

 fertilizer is applicable to any of the formulas for plant-food, as you will see that it contains a very 

 large per cent of ib" three principal chemicals required in all formulas, — ammonia, phosphoric 

 acid, and potash ; a. S. the fact that these chemicals can be bought in this way at a much less price 

 than in any other, is well worthy of your attention. 



Send for pamphlet containing full instructions, testimonials, etc. 



Price, 50-pound bag, $1.00; 100-pound bag, $2.00; 167-pound bag, $3.34; per ton (of 12 

 Taags), $40.00. 



DARLING'S FINE GROUND BONE FOR A FERTILIZER. 



This bone has been sold in New England for the past fifteen years ; and, judging by the very 

 large increase of the demand for it, we think it must have given the best of satisfaction. " The 

 fertilizing value of ground bones of corresponding compositions stands in a direct relation to their 

 degree of fineness." A finely pulverized bone, well composted, is claimed to exceed all other fer« 

 tilizers in efficiency, being well adapted to all kinds of soil. It should be composted a few weeks, 

 if possible, before using. In many instances farmers have, with this bone, made a superphosphate 

 by the use of vitriol or ashes, which they claim to be better than any superphosphates now sold in 

 New England, and at a much less price. This bone is very fine, and warranted in all cases to 

 contain what the analysis calls for that is on each package, — twenty-three to twenty-five per cent 

 of phosphoric acid, equal to from fifty-two to fifty-five per cent of bone phosphate ; and from 3.5 

 to 4.5 per cent of nitrogen, equal to from four to five per cent of ammonia. 



Price, 5-pound box, 25 cents; 10-pound bag, 40 cents; 50-pound bag, $1.50; barrels of 

 about 250 pounds, 2 cents per pound j per ton (about eight barrels), $40.00.
