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 onl) r absolutely 
odorless Lawn Dressing. It is also so clean that the most fastidious per¬ 
son 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 timer 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 be 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 sward. It can be applied at any time during the year, from April to November, 
as often as the grass seems to need nourishment. In 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.

Gentlemen: I am very much pleased with your B reek's Market Garden Manure , and wish to say that in 
our trials of it with other phosphates it has given us by far the best satisfaction , and we feel satisfied that it is the 
cheapest way of fertilizing , where barn manures are as expensive or as hard to procure as they are jn this locality. 
We have found your Fertilizer especially adapted to the growth of Cauliflower and Potatoes.

When a good quality is to be had there is much satisfaction resulting from its use, especially on early vegetables and 
quick growing crops. We have made arrangements with the importer of the best brand that sells so freely in Britain 
and offer our patrons the genuine “ Peruvian ” in original bags. 
Per ton, $50.00 ; per 100 lbs., $3.00 net.
