FERTILIZERS. 
BRECK’S FLOWER FOOD. 
Twelve years ago we introduced an entirely odorless fertilizer, that 
could be used on the lawn and garden without offence to either user or 
neighbor. It has yearly grown in popularity, and on account of its suc¬ 
cess several imitations were put on the market, yet its sales are greater than 
those of its combined imitations. Many people who used it on their lawns 
and flower beds were so pleased with the results, and its freedom from all 
offensiveness to either smell or touch, have also been using it largely on their 
house plants. We do not recommend it for this purpose, because it is neither 
so highly concentrated or as quickly soluble as a pot plant fertilizer should 
be. For these reasons, and to meet the demand for a really odorless and 
reliable article, we now offer Breck’s Flower Food. Its users will promptly 
be surprised at the way it promotes a healthy, vigorous growth of wood, 
leaf and flower, and wonder how it can add such color and fragrance. Put 
up in two sizes — beautiful lithographed boxes.

BRECK’S LAWN AND GARDEN DRESSING. 
The verdict of all who have used Breck’s Lawn and Garden Dressing is that it is the most complete 
and satisfactory Lawn Dressing ever placed upon the Market. It is manufactured expressly for us and we 
vouch for its containing all the constituents required to produce a luxuriant growth. We believe beyond 
a question that ours is the only absolutely odorless Lawn Dressing. It is also so clean that the most fas¬ 
tidious person can apply it without offending the organs of sight and smell. It being quick in action, the 
effect can be seen immediately after the first rain or the sprinkling of the hose, and going directly to the 
roots of the grass, stimulates them to greater activity, thereby thickening the sward and producing a firmer 
growth, which remains rich, green and velvety throughout the season. Its superiority over stable manure 
can scarcely be estimated, as the latter, in addition to disfiguring the lawn by its unsightly appearance, 
also gives out an unpleasant odor, and always contains weeds and other undesirable seeds. Great care should 
lie taken to distribute the dressing evenly, and in no greater quantities than recommended on the tag which 
accompanies each bag, as a too liberal application will injure the swar.d. It can be applied at any time 
during the year from April to November, as often as the grass seems to need nourishment. I11 making new 
lawns apply at the same time the seed is sown and rake in with the seed. Never apply the dressing while 
the grass is wet with dew or rain. Any time the grass is perfectly dry will answer, but the best time to 
apply it is just before a shower. It is equally as suitable for flower beds and all vegetable crops as for the 
lawn.
