fertilizers* 
ONE can well afford to be quite certain that their growing trees and 
plants are well supplied with plant food. There are many ways of 
supplying the soil with fertilizing material when the conditions 
require it. For economy and good results we recommend the following: 
Sbccp jVTanure. 
A Safe and Convenient Fertilizer for 
Lawns, Gardens and Greenhouses. 
This is dry and finely pulverized, easy 
to handle and highly nutritious. Its 
effects are immediate and lasting. For 
lawns apply on the surface broadcast 100 
pounds to the iooo sq. ft.; for the garden, 
two to three times this amount, de- 
pending upon the soil. There is no 
better fertilizer than this for roses, either 
in the garden or the greenhouse. 
Prices: 5 lbs., $0.35; 10 lbs., $0.50; 
100 lbs., $2.50; ton, $25.00. 
edgewood Brand Canada Rard-Cdood 
Onteacbed Hsbes* 
AS a good all-round fertilizer, our Edgewood 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. 
Besides a good proportion of Potash and some Phosphoric Acid, both 
valuable plant foods, our Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes contain a 
liberal amo'unt of Wood Lime. This latter element is especially valuable 
in renewing and sweetening land which has become stiff and sour from the 
too frequent application of stable manure, or from other causes. 
Spread evenly from one to two tons to an acre, according to the con- 
dition of the soil, or, for small lawns, 100 to 150 pounds to 1000 square feet 
of sod. 
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 or bags, given on application. 
Ground Boric. 
THIS is for general fertilizing purposes and valuable on the lawn, meadow 
or in the garden. The finer particles are immediately beneficial, the 
coarse keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. Price, 
six pounds, 25c; twenty-five pounds, 75c; per one-hundred-pound bag, $2 50'; 
per ton of two thousand pounds, $35.00.
