Breck’s Ram’s Head Brand Pulverized 
Sheep Manure—(Odorless) 
A standard dressing for lawns and around private 
homes or cemeteries; on golf courses and wherever a 
strong, luxuriant growth of grass is needed. No time is 
lost waiting for Pulverized Sheep Manure to rot, as is 
the case with stable or Barnyard Manure, and no neces¬ 
sity for raking off refuse after an application of Breck’s 
Ram’s Head Brand, or danger of tracking into the house, 
or making the lawn unsightly or evil smelling. 
Apply Ram’s Head Brand tw r o or three times during the 
season before rain or watering at the rate of one pound 
or over to 30 square feet or less. This will keep the 
lawn or golf course in flourishing condition. 
Ram’s Head Brand is pure and unadulterated. We get 
it from Sheep Corrals where the animals have been kept 
under cover, hence it retains its full strength, and besides 
has been put through a mechanical drying and grinding 
process which destroys absolutely all weed seeds, render¬ 
ing Ram’s Head Brand very valuable for the florist to.be 
used as a bench fertilizer. 
We are selling increased quantities of our brand to the 
Florist for this purpose and we can highly recommend it.
