Few garden accessories can add such a touch of charm 
and interest to a planting as can a Bird Bath. We feature

are furnished either in gray stone or cast in color. 
We have them in both a junior and senior size. The

inches. Diameter of base 10}4 inches. Gray stone. Piped,

FERTILIZERS 
Plant life, like animal life, must have food—the right kind 
and correct amounts—if it is going to thrive and develop as 
it should. 
We have fertilizers for every need, whether it be lawns, 
shrubs, flowers or trees. W will be glad to advise you 
as to the best fertilizer to use for your requirements. Spe¬ 
cial fertilizers should be used for special purposes. We carry 
the following brands. 
VIGORO—A complete plant food for general purposes. 
100-lb. bags, $4; 50-lb. bags, $2.50; 25-lb. bags, $1.50. 
MILORGANITE—A very good standard plant food. It will 
not burn foliage. Has a lasting action. 100-lb. bags, $3.00; 
50-lb. bags, $1.85; 25-lb. bags, $1.25. 
BONE MEAL—100 lbs., $3.25; 50 lbs., $2.00. A slow act¬ 
ing plant food—good for a long period. 
TREE FOOD—We prepare our tree food, using the most 
desirable elements required for the individual project. 
Where fast action is wanted we furnish a special mixture 
and where long action over a period to secure a moderate 
stimulant is required we prepare a different analysis. _ A 
careful checking of all conditions relating to existing 
trees should be made first. Call us—we will advise the 
best procedure. Our tree food is reasonable in price.

^T eatnure’ ' 
A special Daniels brand of peat soil and animal fertilizer 
composted. There is no better material for garden mulch¬ 
ing, or top dressing, or lawn treatment. Something new and 
worth while! Further information and prices upon ap¬ 
plication. 
Dirt { 
There’s a big difference in soils. We are furnishirlg our 
local trade with two of the finest types of garden and lawn 
soil—one a high mineral soil for general use, and the other 
a bottom land soil especially high in organic matter, splendid 
for lawn top coating and similar purposes. Prices upon 
application. 
Tree Protectors 
Rabbit and mouse damage is an ever-present \vinter dan¬ 
ger. The logical answer to their threats is this sturdily 
built tree guard—the best of its type that we have ever 
seen. They are strong, durable, neat in appearance and are 
built to last a lifetime. Quickly placed in position without 
special tools and anchored to the ground so that they will 
stay securely “put.” Six inches in diameter and furnished 
in two sizes, 18 and 24 inches high, at 75c each. 
Daniels Lawn Seed 
Daniels special lawn grass seeds are building turf of out¬ 
standing beauty. We have pure mixtures for the usual 
locations, and for the shady and unusual spots as well. 
The universal satisfaction our lawn mixtures give is due to 
the fact that only seeds of the highest vitality and germina¬ 
tion are used—that we use “strong” mixtures—all seeds 
which are needed—not “padded” with a large per cent of 
cheap, temporary “stuff.” Our mixtures are pure—free from 
noxious weed seeds. We will gladly quote prices on any 
amounts needed, or on cost of establishing or renovating 
lawns, including skilled labor. 
Rockery Materials 
From the famous Lannon limestone pits of Eastern Wis¬ 
consin, from the local boulder speckled fields, from the 
Minnesota Valley sandstone quarries, and from the weathered 
limestone outcroppings of our northern river valleys, we have 
gathered the choicest materials for rockeries, walls and flag¬ 
stone walks. We can furnish material exactly suited to every 
need of this sort and will be pleased to quote you on your 
individual requirements. 
Peat 
The Gardener’s Helper 
One of the relatively recent developments in modern gar¬ 
dening is the use of peat—especially prepared and pulverized 
for horticultural purposes. 
Peat has much to offer in the way of a soil conditioner— 
through its water holding capacity—and as mulch about 
evergreens, perennials, etc.—in the garden and border. We 
are in a position to furnish you a peat suited to each 
horticultural need and purpose. We will be pleased to go 
over the matter with you, giving full information relative 
to the help peat can bring to you in solving your individual 
problems. It is economical to use, too—in the manner in 
which we handle it. Prices quoted on application. 
Animal Fertilizer 
We are in a position to furnish our clients in the Twin 
Cities and in the Minnetonka area the finest grade of rich, 
composted animal manures of various sorts. Prices upon 
request. 
Tree4.Food 
We have a specially prepared tree food for use in fertiliz¬ 
ing trees. All trees require plant food where they have been 
established for a long period of time. Constant watering of 
the lawn tends to leach out plant food within the root area 
of trees. New food should be furnished each year. The 
required amount of our plant food for each tree is three 
pounds for each inch of diameter of the tree, measured one 
foot from the ground. Our specially trained tree men can 
do this work at the lowest unit cost. We have made an 
unusually low price on materials this year.
