A Rich Green Velvety I^awn and How to Maintain it by Using Our 
J^DGMWOOi) BRAND Canada Hard-wood Ashes, 
WHY LAWNS FAIL. Lawns generally fail on account of a lack of food. Seldom, 
if ever, does the ordinary soil contain sufficient fertility to meet the needs of the 
grass for any length of time. Even when it does, the first few years of the new 
lawn's growth will exhaust the nourishing elements and starvation of the grass 
surely commences. It is best not to wait until the lawn shows signs of failure 
before some means are taken to prevent it. The vitality once impaired it is a 
slow process to restore it. 
VALUE OF UNLEACHED HARD-WOOD ASHES. As a good all-round fertilizer, 
ourEdgewood Brand Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes have unchallenged 
value. For lawns, for fruit and ornamental trees and plants, they are superior 
to manure in many respects. They carry no weed seeds, are entirely odorless, 
are clean, easy to handle and spread. The beneficial effect resulting from the 
use of our brand is immediate and the marked improvement in health and vigor 
is readily seen. 
REAL FERTILIZING VALUE. Besides a good proportion of Potash and Phos- 
phoric Acid, both valuable plant foods, our Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes 
contain a liberal amount of Wood Lime. This latter element is especially valu- 
able in renewing and sweetening land which has become stiff and sour from the 
too frequent application of stable manure, or from other causes. 
Our Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes are specially collected and every 
care is exercised in packing and shipping. They are made in Canada from the 
hard woods only. 
THE AMOUNT NEED ED. Spread evenly from one to two tons to an acre, accord- 
ing to the condition of the soil, or, for small lawns, 100 to 150 pounds to 1000 
square feet of sod. Less quantity will be needed the second year. 
PRICES. We put them up in 50- and 100-pound bags: 50 pounds for $1.00; 
100 pounds for $1.50; 200 pounds for $2.00; one ton, $20.00, including bags. 
Even less prices on car-load lots in bulk, barrels, or bags, given on application. 
FREE SAMPLE. Send for a sample trial package. It's free and will give you 
some idea of the cleanness of this fertilizer.
