Progress in Fertilizers. 
BOWSER’S BONE AND WOOD ASH 
FERTILIZER. 
A New Fertilizer for Grass hands, lawns, 
Gardens, Fruits and General Crops. 
For $25.00. 
To the Editor: 
Every one knows the value of bone 
and wood ashes. They are no experi¬ 
ment, but bone, as is well known, is not 
a complete fertilizer as it lacks potash, 
and ashes are not a complete fertilizer 
as they lack both phosphate of lime and 
ammonia ; the two combined, however, 
supplement each other and make a com¬ 
plete, balanced fertilizer ; and have this 
additional value that the plant food is 
in the best forms known, particularly 
the potash and lime which are present 
in the form of caustic carbonate which 
not only sweetens the soil but quickens 
and strengthens it. The station direc¬ 
tors, notably Professors Johnson, Goess- 
man and Wheeler, are now recommend¬ 
ing the use of lime for these purposes, 
and no form is better than that con¬ 
tained in ashes. A combination of bone 
and ashes is Nature’s plant food, for 
these have been extracted from the soil 
in the form of animals and trees, and 
when we return them in the shape of 
bone and ashes we give back that which 
has been exhausted. We therefore in¬ 
troduce to your readers “ Bowker’s Bone 
and Wood Ash Fertilizer,” the basis of 
which is Canada hardwood ashes, to 
which is added pure dissolved bone and 
additional ammonia in chemical form in 
order to produce an active as well as a 
permanent fertilizer; one in which the 
potash and phosphoric acid are available 
and the ammonia fixed until it reaches 
the soil when it becomes active and 
effective. One that will give the crop a 
vigorous start and at the same time 
“back it up” throughout the season. 
This bone and wood ash fertilizer will 
therefore be found a well balanced, com¬ 
plete, active fertilizer, especially good 
for lawns, grass lands, kitchen gardens, 
fruits and general crops. It is a thor¬ 
oughly blended fertilizer and in fine me¬ 
chanical condition and will appeal to 
every one who wants a good and sensi¬ 
ble manure at a reasonable price. 
Five years ago it would not have been 
possible to have put this combination on 
the market, but owing to new processes, 
new inventions and the reduction in 
freight rates we are able to supply a 
new and valuable fertilizer which, in 
addition to bone and ashes, contains 
lime that will correct any acid condi¬ 
tion of the soil as well as quicken and 
enrich it. 
We shall also offer for sale genuine 
Canada hardwood ashes unleached and 
unadulterated, in any quantity; also 
the celebrated Bowker’s Stockbridge 
Manures, Bowker’s Fine Ground Bone, 
Bowker’s Animal Fertilizer (made from 
slaughter-house waste), Bowker’s Lawn

That Crass is King 
AND THE COW QUEEN, is a well-known 
and established fact, and the main questions with 
the progressive farmer of to-day are, how more 
grass and better and permanent pastures and 
meadows can be obtained. We have made the 
“GRASS QUESTION” our specialty for years, 
and issued our catalogue or Book on Permanent 
Pastures and Meadows. Every Farmer and Dairy¬ 
man interested in more grass or better and per¬ 
manent pastures and meadows, should have a 
copy and read it. All the natural grasses and 
clover are accurately described and illustrated 
therein, besides it contains valuable information 
in regard to hour permanent pastures and meadows 
can be obtained, and gives the experience of our 
old customers with our grass seeds. 
We send a copy of it free to every Farmer and 
Dairyman, write for it to-day.
