BOWKER’S LAWN DRESSING. 
Do not disfigure your Lawns, Grass Plats, or Cemetery Lots with strong, offensive manure, 
full of weed seeds. This Dressing is so prepared that it acts gradually through the season, produ¬ 
cing a luxuriant growth of grass of a rich green color. It has been extensively used for many years 
on Lawns about Boston, New York, and other cities, and also on the Public Squares, and univer¬ 
sally liked. It is far superior to lumpy, straw manure, which disfigures the lawn with filthy mate¬ 
rials, giving off an offensive odor; and is less expensive than manure, the cost of the dressing being 
less in many cases than the cost of applying stable manure. It is odorless , and so clean that anv 
member of the family can apply it. It contains no weed seeds found always in manure , and which 
are the pests of the lawn ; and is worth all it costs, if only for the rich color which it imparts to the 
grass. It may be applied at any time during the Spring, Summer, or Autumn, or as often as the 
grass seems to need nourishment. It will restore many lawns to full luxuriance that have been 
nearly ruined by the hot sun and drought of our summers. Full but simple directions accom¬ 
pany each package.

BOWKER’S AMMONIATED FOOD FOR FLOWERS. 
A Fertilizer made expressly for plants grown in the house, garden, or conservatory; clean, 
almost odorless, and producing healthy, luxuriant plants, free from vermin, and early and abundant 
blossoms of rich and brilliant color. 
For a long time there has been a great want among florists and ladies, who delight to grow 
flowers, for some kind of dressing that shall not only produce healthy plants, free from vermin, and 
abundant, early blossoms, but which at the same time may be easily applied, without offensive 
odor, or without injury to plants. 
In this Ammoniated Food, ladies and florists will find this want met. It is made expressly for 
flowers grown in the house, garden, or conservatory, and contains the same plant food as stable 
manure, but in a cleaner, more concentrated and more soluble form. 
This Flower Food gives off no offensive or unhealthy odor, and being immediately soluble 
and ready for the plants to take up, produces a much quicker and healthier growth, earlier and 
more abundant blossoms, and of a richer and more brilliant coloring than stable manure, guano, or 
any other dressing that has ever been prepared.
