FERTILIZERS 
Xo garden can insure success unless soil fertility is main¬ 
tained. Lawns that are yellow and poor will again turn a rich 
green if treated with fertilizers. How to use them is printed 
on the sacks of Morcrop and Vigoro. They may be used before 
or after planting and will stimu’ate growth at once. Their use 
eliminates weeds so often present in manure. 
RAW BONE MEAL. A most dependable slow acting fer¬ 
tilizer, harmless to roots and influencing profuse flowering 
of plants. Two to three months elapse before resu’ts become 
noticeable, but the result may last a year or more. Use 100 
lbs. on lawns of 2000 square feet of surface for a good appli¬ 
cation. Price per 100-lb. sack $3.00; 50-lb. sack $1.75. Less 
than 50c lbs., 4c per lb. 
MORCROP FERTILIZER. A comp’ete fertilizer with Or¬ 
ganic base and chemical fillers, put up as follows: 3-lb. carton 
35c; 7-lb. carton 75c; 25-lb. bag $1.40; 50-lb. bag $2.50; 100- 
lb. bag $3.80. Special lawn ferti’izer combination, very effec¬ 
tive, 50-lb. bag $1.25. 
VIGORO. A mineral base complete fertilizer of flour-like 
texture of pink coloring, highly recommended. 1-lb. carton 
PEAT MOSS 
10c; 5-lb. carton 45c; 10-lb. carton 85c; 25-lb. bag $1.50; 50-lb. 
bag $2.50; 100-lb. bag $4.00. 
We are firmly convinced that above listed preparations are 
the best items to use to increase soil fertility at the most 
reasonable cost, for their contents are known and positive, 
while dried manures seldom have a definite fertilizer value 
of dependable quantity. 
PEAT MOSS. The ideal natural humus to loosen up soils, 
while not a fertilizer may be used generously to improve the 
ground for all but lime-loving plants. Spade it under or work 
it into the surface of the garden beds. It will make the 
ground porous and prevent caking, help to hold moisture and 
fertility as its fibres act like miniature sponges. Nothing 
finer to dress lawns in spring than a good layer of peat spread 
over the surface, then apply fertilizers which are absorbed 
and held by the peat so that the roots of lawn may thrive on 
it. A generous application will often serve for years. Per 
bale, German or Swedish, weighing between 125 to 150 lbs., 
$2.25, f.o.b. Portland.

FLORAL SERVICE 
“Say It with Flowers ” 
Human sentiments; Love, Esteem, Joy, Sympathy, wishes 
of good cheer, or good luck, are most eloquently expressed 
by a neatly arranged floral gift. A bouquet of flowers to 
a sick friend is like a ray of sunshine in spring. Remem¬ 
bering those that left us by a floral message, conveys out- 
sentiments in the graceful way that only flowers can ex¬ 
press them. 
FLOWERS do bring us cheer when days seem gloomy. 
Send them to friends, for life is then a richer, more appeal¬ 
ing sensation in their presence. Try it today for tomorrow 
might be late. 
You may safely entrust your message to our skill; the 
cost may average from $2.00 to $5.00—depending on selec¬ 
tion. We deliver.
