STOCKBRIDGE MANURES. 
Prices Reduced but Standard Maintained 
These are special Manures, which arc not only based on the Analysis of Crops, but are com¬ 
pounded with reference to the kind of Plant Food best adapted to each crop, for it is a well-known 
fact that the kind of Plant Food has fully as much influence on the quality and yield as the 
amount applied. For example : A Fertilizer composed largely of chemicals is much better for 
top dressing than one made up of animal matter. The Sulphate of Potash is much better for Po¬ 
tatoes, and also Small F'ruit', than the Muriate, and a Tobacco fertilizer should be free from chlo¬ 
rides, like Salt or Chloride of Magnesia, in order to obtain a leaf of good color and texture. The 
Stockbridge Manures were the first, and are still the only ones, which recognize the principle 
that the kind of Plant Food is of as much importance as the quantity , and it is largely due to this fact 
they have been so successful in the past. For sure and profitable returns they arc unequalled. 
They always “back the crop up” to the end of the season. While the prices have been reduced, 
the standard will be maintained.

BOWKER’S HILL AND DRILL PHOSPHATE. 
With Potash. 
A GENERAL FERTILIZER FOR ALL CROPS.—It is one of the richest Phosphates 
made, and is a complete Fertilizer, in that it contains all the principal elements of Plant Food, and 
it may be used on any soil and on all crops,either with or without manure ; but, as its name indi¬ 
cates, it is made more especially to be used in the Hill or Drill, to give crops an early and vigorous 
start. It is not a stimulant, but is Plant F'ood in a form easily and quickly taken up by plants, 
the same as milk is food for man easily and quickly digested. Next to the Stockbridge 
Manures, there is no other brand of Fertilizer which will give the New England farmers 
so much satisfaction as the Hill and Drill Phosphate, and as it comes some cheaper than the 
Stockbridge Manures, it will be found, for the general farmer who has considerable stable 
manure, a very economical Fertilizer to buy.

BOWKER’S ANIMAL FERTILIZER. 
This Animal Fertilizer has the highest average valuation of any Animal Fertilizer inspected for 
the past seven years by Dr. Gressmann, the Massachusetts Inspector of Fertilizers. It was the first 
Animal Fertilizer ever sold in New England. It is made of the refuse blood, meat and bone of 
the cattle slaughtered at the Brighton Abattoir, to which is added Potash and also Sulphuric Acid 
to render the bone more available, and make the F'crtilizer better adapted for hoed crops. 
100 lbs.$2.25 | 1 ton.$40.00
