Lawn Fertilizer. — This is a clean, dry and fine fertilizer, and can be sown either by hand ' 
or machine. It is free from all strong odor, and, being a complete fertilizer, is fit for all 
kinds of grasses. Never use stable manure on a lawn, or it will cost you more to weed ' 
it than it does to fertilize it. For a new lawn, use from 800 to 1,500 lbs. per acre ; har- 
row in before sowing the seed. To renovate an old lawn, half that quantity will do, 
or for small lawns use from 3 to 5 lbs. per 100 square feet. lo-lb. bags, 50 cents; loo-lb. 
bags, $2 75 40.00 
Rose Fertilizer.— Especially suited for roses, shrubbery and the flower garden. Roses fed on this ferti- 
lizer will be strong, healthy and vigorous, and will be better enabled to withstand disease and attacks 
of all kinds of mildew, fungi, insects, etc. It is just the food to brighten up the leaves and make per- 
fect buds and roses. Scatter over the surface of the ground after irrigation, at the rate of 5 lbs. for 100 
square feet, and work in the soil as soon as possible thereafter. Per 10-lb. bags, 50 cents; loo-lb. 
bags, I3.00.
