These fertilizers contain in a concentrated form 
the necessary proportions that different plants re- 
quire to produce fine flowers and vegetables. By 
adding what the ground needs, you are assured of 
fine results, and your labor and expenditures are 
repaid several times over. ])iffer«'nt flowers and 
vegetables require different fertilizers. If our 
list does not mention your requirements we will 
be pleased to advise you fully. Owing to the fact 
that it is impossible to obtain potash in any form, 
we are increasing the amount of nitrate and phos- 
phate, thus helping out the part which is wanting.

The constant mowiiiK of the ;awn ami removlns 
of the cuttings removes large quantities of the 
nourishment of the soil. This has to be replaeed. 
If you desire the lawn to have the rieh green col- 
oring and assure yourself of a lawn the year 
around our Superior Lawn Fertilizer should be 
used at least once a year. It should be scattered 
broadcast during the early spring, to obtain the 
best results, although it can be used during the 
fall or winter. About 50 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. 
It Is odorless and there is no possibility of putting 
weed seed into your lawn. 
ALASKA WHALE FERTILIZER. (Nitrogen 
8.96%, Phosphoric Acid 28.23%.) A balanced fer- 
tilizer especially adapted for vegetable and flower 
gardens. It is made from the entire carcas of the 
Alaska whale after the oil has been extracted and 
is far superior to any other flsh fertilizer. It 
produces wonderful results when used in the 
orchard or around berry bushes. From 6 to 10 
pounds applied to a bearing fruit trees is suffi- 
cient and the results produced are marvelous. 
100-lb. sack, $3.50. 
BONE HEAL. (Nitrogen 3%, Phosphoric Acid 
1S%.) Decomposes slowly in the soil and is there- 
fore an excellent permanent fertilizer. Fine for 
top dressing on lawns on account of its lasting 
qualities. Five pounds placed whole before plant- 
ing rose bushes will produce great results. Our 
bone meal is made from fresh bones, and has not 
lost any of its value. The quantity to use depends 
entirely upon the purpose for which it is used. 
Light applications are beneflclal, but for perma- 
nent work, such as forming soil for lawns, rose 
beds, etc.. It should be used in very large quanti- 
ties, the more the better. 100-lb. sack, $3.00. 
BLOOD AND BONE. (Nitrogen 4%, Phosphoric 
Acid 12%.) Is quick acting and on account of its 
richness in nitrogen and phosphate is a very de- 
sirable fertilizer. Best used around roses Just 
before exhibition time. An animal fertilizer, rich 
in nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and having addi- 
tional value on account of a certain warmth and 
vitality which it imparts to the soil. It is a quick 
acting fertilizer, and for that reason It is for 
some purposes more valuable than bone meal, al- 
though the effect is not so lasting. It should not 
be applied a great length of time before the seed 
is planted, and may be used as a top-dressing. It 
is usually applied at the rate of 500 to 1,000 lbs. 
per acre. 100 lbs.. $3.00. 
EVERQREEN BRAN. A fertilizer especially put 
up for potted plants. Revives and furnishes a 
plant food. % lb.. 30c. 
NITRATE OP SODA. (Nitrogen 13%.) Con- 
tains 1^ or more of nitrogen In quickly available 
form, and is generally used as a top-dressing. It 
is seldom advisable to apply It on the soil before 
the seed is sown, for the reason that all the bene- 
fits will be had from it within two or three weeks, 
and if the plants are not ready to make use of all 
the plant food some of it will be lost. 
It is best applied in several light applications 
of about 150 lbs. each per acre, at intervals of 
two or three weeks, during the early growing sea- 
son. If applied too late, the plants will continue 
to grow foliage, and maturity will be retarded. It 
is used for forcing such crops as lettuce, celery, 
radishes, etc., requiring a quick growth, and pro- 
duces wonderful results. 100 lbs., $4.50. 
LAND PLASTER (Gypsum). Land Plaster Is 
not really a fertilizer, as it contains no plant food, 
but it causes a chemical change in the soil, releas- 
ing the potash which Is already there in unavail- 
able form. It is very beneficial to clover, alfalfa, 
peas, beans and other legumes. 100 lbs., $1.25; 
ton, $16.00. 
GROUND ROCK PHOSPHATE. Haw phosphate 
rock finely ground. It is slower acting than super- 
phosphate, and Is recommended by many manu- 
facturers as the most economical form of phos- 
phoric acid. 100 lbs., $1.50. 
On account of the war we are unable to supply 
any potash as the supply all comes from Europe, 
and It is impo ssib le to ship any in at this time. 
SUPERPHOSPHATE. (Guaranteed analysis. 
Fbosphoric Acid 17%.) This is what is known as 
Acid Phosphate, being phosphate rock treated with 
acid to make the phosphoric acid available. While 
the phosphoric acid in this is not so valuable as 
that in bone meal, it is more quickly available, 
and in some cases more useful. 
Superphosphate Is recommended as a top-dress- 
ing for grass lands and for grain. It Is generally 
used at the rate of 500 to 1,000 lbs. per acre. 
Packed in 125-lb. sacks. 100 lbs., $1.75; ton. $26.00. 
GROUND LIME BOCK. (Ground to 100 mesh 
fine.) (90% Calcium Carbonate.) Especially pre- 
pared for use on the lawn and garden. Based on 
chemical analysis, it may safely be said that prac- 
tically all the soil in the Puget Sound district Is 
in need of lime. Different sections require dif- 
ferent amounts, but from wide experiments it haa 
been shown that practically all the land needs at 
least 2,000 pounds per acre. This applies to gar- 
dens and farms; for lawns a fair application is 100 
pounds to 2,000 square feet. After wide experi- 
ments it has been found that the Lime Rock is 
much superior to other forms of lime, as it is not 
caustic and will not destroy the humus in the soil. 
It can be applied to a growing crop without any 
chance of injury. 
BRIEF POINTS ON LIMING. 1. The different 
forms of lime contain different amounts of cal- 
cium. 
2. To Improve a poor, acid soil, plow under 
manure, apply lime and disc in, and grow legume 
crops in the rotation as much as possible. 
3. Lime corrects acidity, but rarely acts as a 
true fertilizer. 
4. Use burnt lime with caution. 
5. Ground limestone and thoroughly air-slacked 
lime are not injurious to soils or crops. 
6. Lime is not a "cure-all” for every soil ail- 
ment. 
Lime will not take the place of manure or com- 
mercial fertilizers, nor will manure or commer- 
cial fertilizers take the place of lime.
