PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE 
Sheep manure, not only furnishes necessary elements 
of plant food but also supplies humus which keeps the 
soil from getting hard and helps it to hold water so 
plants do not suffer from drought. Sheep manure 
should be used at the rate of about 1 lb. to 10 square 
feet and should be mixed with the soil as much as 
possible. 
The manure we offer is pure, being free from straw, 
dirt, etc., and is far superior to much of the Pulverized 
Sheep Manure usually sold.

A superfine grade of Peat 
Moss which is extremely good 
for use on lawns, to cover seed, 
for potting soil and other 
places where an extra fine 
grade of Peat Moss is desired. 
A single bag makes about 
10 bu. loose material. 
Bags only, each $2.75. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
NITRATE OF SODA 
Nitrate of Soda is the most soluble and quickly 
available form of nitrogen and forces a strong luxuriant 
growth in plants. 
Gardeners should always have some nitrate of soda 
on hand and use it whenever they want to promote 
a quick, strong growth in plants. A little nitrate 
dissolved in water at the rate of about a tablespoon 
(1 oz.) to 2 gallons of water will stimulate a rapid growth 
either when applied to plants in frames, greenhouses 
or the open ground. But don’t use too much. 
10 lbs. 65c; 50 lbs. $1.65; 100 lbs. $2.85; 200 lbs. 
or more at $2.75 per 100 lbs. Purchaser pays 
transportation. Prices subject to change. Write for 
prices on large lots. 
BONE MEAL 
A good fertilizer for gardens, bulbs, fruit trees, etc. 
It is perfectly harmless and can be used with safety in 
any quantity desired. The plant food is not immedi¬ 
ately available so its benefit extends over a long time. 
This Bone Meal is raw bone fine ground and is 
superior to the “steamed” bone meal. 10 lbs. 60c; 
50 lbs. $1.65; 100 lbs. $2.85 purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. Prices subject to change. Lowest prices 
will be quoted on large lots at any lime. 
"Driconure" 
Humus and Fertilizer Combined 
“Driconure” is composed of peat moss and pure 
cow manure without straw or other trash. It is finely 
ground and treated to kill all weed seed and is practi¬ 
cally odorless and clean. It combines one of the best 
fertilizing agents with material which furnished humus 
in its best form. 
An excellent dressing to use on lawns and in the 
garden. Ask for leaflet describing this material. 
Price: 50 lb. bag (3 bu.) $2.50; Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
SULPHATE OF AMMONIA 
One of the best and most economical nitrogenous 
fertilizers. It contains 25% ammonia, and it is, there¬ 
fore, richer in nitrogen than nitrate of soda. While 
the plant food in it is not so quickly available, the effect 
on the crop is more lasting. Especially valuable for 
lawns and if used liberally it will stimulate the grass 
and retard the growth of dandelions. Use at the rate of 
lb. to Y lb. to 100 sq. ft. for lawns, applied in the 
spring. A top dressing of Peat Mess before applying 
Sulphate of Ammonia will prevent burning. 
16 lbs. 65c; 50 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs. $3.00 purchaser 
pays transportation. Prices subject to change. Write

SEMES AN —Makes Good Seed Grow Belter 
We are convinced by our experience on our own farm and 
green houses that it pays to use Semesan. In our greenhouses, 
Semesan has proved very reliable in preventing “damping off” 
of seedlings. We formerly went through the laboriousprocess of 
“steaming” our greenhouse soil to kill the “damping off” fungus, 
but now we simply water the flats with the normal Semesan 
solution with equally good results. Since we started to use 
Semesan we have not steamed a bit of soil. 
For Corn and Beans. Sometimes due to weather conditions 
beyond the grower’s control, corn and beans of high germination 
do not grow, but rot in the ground. On one planting of sweet 
corn seed of high germination treated with Semesan we had 
practically double the stand which we obtained from the same 
seed planted at the same time but not treated. The use of 
Semesan nearly doubled the yield of corn for us. 
Treatment with the various Semesan products listed below effectively cleanses 
most vegetable, flower and field seed of seed borne organism and diseases, in most 
cases increasing the stand and consequently the crop. Semesan is easy to use with 
full directions on each package. 
Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy crop insurance. 
You Can Buy Semesan in Following Forms: 
SEMESAN can be applied in either the liquid or convenient dust form, to 
prevent or control effectively many diseases and fungoid growths borne by seeds, 
seed pieces, plants, grafts and soils. It is harmless to seed and plant life but ex¬ 
tremely poisonous to disease and fungous organisms. Directions on each package. 
2 ozs. 50c; 1 lb. $2.50 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 lbs. $11.75; 25 lbs. 
$46.25. 
SEMESAN Jr. New Improved. A new less expensive form for the dry 
dust disinfection of both field and sweet corn seeds. 
Its use protects the seed from rotting in the ground and makes possible earlier 
planting which generally results in higher prices and increased yields. The cost is 
so little that we believe growers cannot afford to plant corn that has not been treat¬ 
ed. 2 oz. treats 1 bu. seed. 
4 ozs. 50c; 1 lb. $1-50 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 lbs. $7.00. 
SEMESAN BEL. New Improved. For seed potatoes. One pound of 
the New Improved Semesan Bel will treat 50 to 60 bushels of cut potatoes. It 
possesses great disease control properties especially in respect to control of Rhiz- 
octonia and seed-born Scab. The “Instantaneous dip” method saves time and 
labor. Semesan Bel. does not harm the seed jueces. 
4 ozs. 50c; 1 lb. $1.75 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 lbs. $8.00; 25 lbs. 
$31.25. 
CERESAN. New I improved. For treating grain. This is the only dust 
disinfectant which has effectively controlled such grain diseases as stinking smut 
of wheat, stripe disease of barley, loose and covered smuts of barley and oats. 
Ceresan is recommended by leading authorities. It will not harm the seed or 
grain drill. Only Y oz. required to effectively treat a bushel of wheat, oats or 
barley.

in less than 5 lb. cans. 
5 lb. can $3.00; 25 lb. drum $12.50. Purchaser pays transportation.

STANLEY’S CROW REPELLENT 
Protect Your Seed Corn from Crows and 
Other Seed Pulling Birds 
Stanley’s Crow Repellent is a most effective way to treat 
corn to prevent crows and other birds from pulling the 
seed. We have used it on our farms and found that crows 
and other birds will not bother corn which has been treated. 
The material is non-poisonous, easy to apply, when properly used 
will not injure seed of any kind and will not clog any planter. 
Directions for treating seed are printed on each can. 
Half Pint can (enough for 1 bu. of corn) 60c. Pint can (enough for 2 bu. of 
corn) $1.00. New quart can (enough for 4 bu.) $1.75. Transportation paid. 
(The large size is the most economical to buy. The material does not deteriorate.) 
SULROTE. This non-poisonous dust combines Rotenone with 
Dusting Sulphur making a very effective insecticide and fumigicide for 
the garden. We use it on our own farm and have found it one of the best 
dusts to use on cucumbers, cauliflower, turnips, etc. 
It is an excellent dust for roses as it will control Rose Chafers and af¬ 
ford protection against Black Spot and Mildew, also controls Chinch 
Bugs in the lawn. 
1 lb. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. 
or more at 18c per lb. Write for special prices on large quantities. 
DEROX — New Rotonone Dust. This new dust contains Roto¬ 
none (Derris) as the actual killing agent and has proved very efficient in 
killing worms and lice on cabbage, cauliflower, etc., as well as other de¬ 
structive garden insects. It can be used liberally without danger as it is 
entirely harmless to humans and animals, but deadly to insects. Use at the rate of 
about 10 lbs. per acre. 
I lb. box 30c; 4 lb. bag 95c transportation paid. Not paid: 24 lbs. (6-4 lb. 
bags) or more at 17c per lb. 
A non-Poisonous Pyreth- 
rum-Rotonone Spray. We find 
this to be a very effective plant 
spray for killing both sucking and 
chewing insects. It is fatal to 
cabbage worms, aphis, Japanese 
Beetles, Red Spider, Aster Beetles, 
etc., but it is harmless to humans 
and animals. No soap or spreader needed simply mix with water and spray. Direc¬ 
tions on each package 1 oz. bottle 35c; 6 oz. $1.00; pint can $2.00; quart $3.50; 
gallon $11.00; 5 gallon drum $47.50 transportation paid.

common garden insects, and we have found it especially good 
against cabbage worms, currant worms, rose slugs, cucumber and 
squash bugs and aphis. 
It is Non-Poisonous, harmless to man, livestock, birds and pets. 
Kills only insects. It does not burn and can be used often and 
in strong solution on the most delicate plants and flowers.
