Sheep Manure Pulverized 
This is a pure natural manure and one of the most nutri¬ 
tious foods for plants. Its effects are immediate. It is very 
rich, safe and gives quick results. It will give excellent re¬ 
sults on flower beds, lawns or in vegetable gardens, as it con¬ 
tains all the elements for promoting a quick, luxuriant growth, 
as well as adding body to the plant. Can be used either in dry 
form or dissolved to make a liquid manure. If applied dry, no 
raking off is required as it does not disfigure the grounds, nor 
does it contain seeds of foul weeds, nor offensive odor. 
Directions: For lawns, apply broadcast at the rate of five 
to six hundred lbs. per acre in February, March or April in 
spring, or in September or October in the fall. For pot 
plants mix one quart of sheep manure to six parts of soil. 
For use in the vegetable garden apply either broadcast or in 
drills at the rate of fifteen hundred to two thousand pounds 
Per acre and mix slightly with the soil. For liquid application 
use 1 lb. to 6 gallons of water.
