Stockbridge Cabbage and Cauliflower Manure. 
The cabbage crop is one of the most greedy crops that grows. The more 
manure you give it, the more it seems to want. 
The Stockbridge Cabbage Manure is rich in soluble salts which feed the 
crops from beginning to end, and supplies just what is needed to make the 
crop head up. It has proved a great success. 
Application. Apply for cabbages from i,8oo to 2,600 lbs. per acre, and for cauliflowers 
from 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. Sow two-thirds broadcast and harrow it into the soil. The other 
third maybe strewn along where the plants are set, and mixed thoroughly with the soil before 
setting out the plants ; or it may be hoed in about the plants after they are set out. If stable 
manure is used, less fertilizer may be used. Spread the manure broadcast without compost- 
ing, and use part of the fertilizer broadcast and part about the plant. 
Stockbridge Onion Manure. 
The Stockbridge Onion Manure contains a large amount of plant-food in 
the most active chemical forms, which will be more likely to produce a vigor- 
ous, healthy growth from start to finish than stable manure, which must roi be 
fore it can nourish, and in the rotting fosters the growth of smut and maggots. 
Application. Apply from 1,500 lo 2,000 lbs. per acre, sown broadcast and harrowed 
into the soil, If used with manure a smaller quantity may be used, depending upon the 
quantity and richness of the stable manure applied. By using the Stockbridge, which con- 
tains no seeds of weeds or disease, much of the expense of weeding may be saved, and this 
saving in labor will often pay for the fertilizer used. 
Stockbridge Vine Manure. 
For Squashes, Cucumbers, Melons, etc. 
The Stockbridge Vine Manure is made to produce rapid growth, and at the 
same time it will "back up " the crop to the end of the season. Composted 
manure and night-soil are good for vines, because they are active and rich in 
ammonia salts. This fertilizer contains similar chemical salts, and takes the 
place of night-soil or manure, and saves the labor of hauling and composting. 
Application. For Squashes, Cucumbers, Melons, etc. Apply 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. 
per acre, two-thirds sown broadcast and worked deeply into the soil, and one-third sprinkled 
in the hills — about a pint to each hill — thoroughly mixed a7td covered with the soil before 
dropping the seed. If manure is used, it can be spread broadcast and worked into the soil 
without composting, and a less quantity of fertilizer used, depending on the strength and 
richness of the manure. 
For Tomatoes. 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. per acre, one-half sown broadcast and the remain- 
der dropped in the hills and thoroughly mixed vf'wh the soil before setting out the plants. 
Stockbridge Pea and Bean Manure. 
The pea and bean crop is a good illustration of the necessity of special fer- 
tilizers. The Stockbridge principle is to supply crops in suitable form with 
what they do not obtain from the soil or air in sufficient quantity, being based 
upon an analysis of the crop and its habits and conditions of growth. The pea 
and bean, and crops of this class, are large nitrogen gatherers; therefore it is 
not necessary to supply so much as the analysis of these crops calls for. A fer- 
tilizer made right for cabbages, for example, applied to peas or beans, would 
produce all vines and no pods; while the pea and bean fertilizer used on cab- 
bages would produce a very poor harvest. The Stockbridge Pea and Bean 
Manure supplies the needed elements, and gives great satisfaction. 
Application. Apply from 1,000 to 1,500 lbs., three-fourths sown broadcast and har- 
rowed into the soil, and one-fourth strewn along the furrows. Mix thoroughly with the soil 
before dropping the seed, or a portion may be hoed in after the crop comes up. 
Stockbridge Root Manure. 
For Turnips, Beets, Parsnips, etc. 
One of the most marked illustrations of special fertilization is that of 
roots, especially turnips. It was discovered long ago, in England, that phos- 
phoric acid, or soluble phosphate of lime, was a specific for this crop. And 
what is true of the turnip is true of beets and parsnips. 
The Stockbridge Root Manure is rich in phosphoric acid, while also 
containing ammonia and potash in sufBcien quantity. 
Application. The quantity applied is from 800 to 1,200 lbs. per acre, and is generally 
sown broadcast, though for ruta-bagas, or stock beets, which are grown in drills, the ferti- 
lizer should be sown along in furrows and then ridged up before the seed is sown. On moist 
land roots should be ridged up, but on dry soil fiat culture is considered preferable. 
Stockbridge Asparagus Manure. 
In the Stockbridge Asparagus. Manure we supply the nitrogen princi- 
pally in the form of nitric acid, and also potash and phosphoric acid in abun- 
dant and available forms, and to aid in the development of a healthy root 
growth, which is essential for permanent results. 
Application. If applied in the early spring at the rate of 1,200 to 2,000 lbs. between 
the rows, it will produce early and abundant cuttings, attractive in color and juicy and tender. 
Those who have never used this fertilizer will be surprised to see how the quality as well as 
the quantity is improved by its application. 
Stockbridge Celery Manure. 
The vStockbridge Celery Manure, prepared from chemicals, free from 
weed-seeds and germs of disease or bhght, will produce a large crop of ex- 
cellent quahty, which will bleach well and keep well.
