FERTILIZERS 
Prices Subject to Change Without Notice. 
ASHES (CANADA HARD WOOD) — Drive away insect's and improve the texture 
of the soil; indispensable for all crops requiring potash; very beneficial for gar- 
den and field crops, grass lands and lawns. Of great value to apply to orchards. 
1 lb. Sc.; 100 lbs. $2.S0. 
ACID PHOSPHATE (Superphosphate) — For soils rich in lime, Acid Phosphate 
will give the quickest return and especially for crops that need, in their early 
stages, the stimulus afforded by immediately available phosphoric acid, e. g., 
the turnip crop. Acid Phosphate is also an excellent form for cereals, io con- 
junction with nitrogen. 300 to 400 lbs. per acre. 100 lbs. $2.50. 
BASIC SLAG (Phosphate Powder)— Basic Slag contains available Phosphoric 
Acid, and all crops need supplies of this element. It also possesses large con- 
tents of lime. For growing grain crops and seeding down, Basic Slag should 
always be employed. It produces strong straw, thus lessening the liability of 
the grain to "lodge.*' and conduces to early ripening. On land well supplied 
with nitrogen, large crops of Turnips have been grown as a result of an applica- 
tion of 1.000 lbs. Basic Slag per acre. To renovate wornout pastures, no better 
fertilizer is obtainable. Its effects are marvellous, the whole herbage being 
changed and improved. The stock-carrying capacity of the field is soon doubled 
or trebled. Basic Slag should be used on all stifl clay lands, on wet, marshy, 
sour soils, and on soils deficient in lime. Basic Slag should be applied to the 
land at the rate of 000 to 1000 lbs. per acre. 
The effect on pasture lands should be seen for 4 to 5 years. Basic Slag 
should be applied to the land late in the Fall or at the earliest opportunity in 
Spring; not being soluble in water, it consequently cannot be washed out of the 
soil by rains. A splendid top dressing for lawns. 
On light land il should always be applied in conjunction with potash, ft is 
not recommended for sandy or gravelly soils.
