EXTRA QUALITY PURE BONE FLOUR 
We offer a very superior quality of Bone Flour, manufactured express- 
ly for us. It is made from hard dry white bone only, untreated in any 
way, and is much more valuable than bone flour made from soft bones. 
We use this grade of bone in our own very extensive Rose Houses. It is 
manufactured so carefully that it is as white as Hominy, which it looks 
like, only it is considerably finer. It is the same bone used in the " Health- 
foods." It can be used with perfect safety, as it is entirely free from acid 
or other chemicals. Should be used liberally for rose growing under glass, 
or out-of-doors, and will give astonishing results. Its fineness makes it a 
readily available plant food, and is. good for all purposes where a safe, re- 
liable fertilizer is required. We know of nothing better, or one that gives 
more returns for its cost, as it is absolutely pure. As a top dressing for 
lawns, for the flower or vegetable garden, and for composting for potting 
soil it is unequaled. We should be pleased to submit samples, which Will 
show its superior quality. For purity, reliability, and economy 
this bone is unequaled. Packed in bags containing 100 lbs. 
5c. per lb. ; $3.50 per 100 lbs. ; $45.00 per ton. 
GRANULATED COARSE RAW BONE. 
This is a coarsely broken bone of the same high grade that our bone flour is manufactured from, 
and will be found very superior in quality to that generally offered. It is indispensable for compost- 
ing in the soil for grapes, roses, etc., when apei*manent and slow fertilizer that will last for years is 
desirable. 5c. per lb.; $3.00 per 100 lbs.; $40.00 per ton. 
UNREACHED HARDWOOD ASHES. 
Used as a top dressing for lawns, it imparts a dark vivid green to the grass, and is especially bene- 
ficial to old lawns that have become thin ; it destroys moss and any acidity there may be in the soil, 
and renews the vigor and health of a lawn in a surprising manner. This and our superior Bone 
Flour applied together make the very best fertilizer for lawns and all grass lands. They are cheaper 
than stable manure, and what is of equal importance, are not unsightly; unlike stable manure no 
weed or coarse grass seeds will ever be added by their application to ruin the lawn. 
3c. per lb.; per barrel (200 lbs.), $3.00; $22.50 per ton. 
PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE. 
This is the richest natural manure, and the most nutritious food for plants; its effect is immedi- 
ate; much more healthy and lasting than guano, or any other highly stimulating fertilizer. It is 
the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants, and can be used one part to 
six of soil. As a top dressing for lawns it is unequaled. 
5c. per lb; $3.00 per 100 lbs.; $40.00 per ton. 
COMPRESSED SHEEP MANURE. 
This is in a different form, and only used for making liquid manure. It makes the safest and rich- 
est liquid, rivaling guano in the rapidity with which it acts, but promotes a healthy, vigorous, con- 
stant growth with no reaction, and is not dangerous to use in the hands of inexperienced growers. 
1 lb. to 5 gallons of water is about proper proportion for general use. 
5c. per lb. ; $3.00 per 100 lbs. ; $40.00 per ton. 
PERUVIAN GUANO. 
Very rich in phosphoric acid and other ingredients in a soluble form readily available; acts very 
quickly and, in the hands of careful growers, is a very valuable fertilizer. Should never be applied 
dry under glass, only in liquid form. As a top dressing, can be applied out of doors broad-cast, at 
the rate of about 500 lbs. per acre. 
10c. per lb.; $4.50 per 100 lbs.; $65.00 per ton. 
EXCELSIOR ODORLESS FLOWER FOOD FOR HOUSE PLANTS. 
Prepared expressly to supply the wants of flowers when grown in the house or conservatory. If 
you wish your plants to grow and blossom in the house you must feed them. Full directions for use 
accompany each package. Each box contains enough fertilizer for 20 plants for 3 months.
