Elliott’s invigorine. 
Odorless, Convenient f Quick Acting. A Food For Lawns and Golf Links. 
The increasing demand for a Lawn and Golf Dressing that is odorless, safely applied 
and quick in effect, has compelled us to take up this important matter and give it a close 
study, which we have done, and we are pleased to state that in the production of 
Elliott’s Invigorine we have produced a Lawn and Golf Fertilizer that has no 
equal, being convenient, portable and clean, inducing a rapid, rich green growth and a 
most velvety appearance. This preparation is in every way more desirable than man¬ 
ure, avoiding the unsightly litter, disagreeable odor and weed seeds which cause an end¬ 
less annoyance. Should be sown broadcast in spring or fall, or may be applied in mid¬ 
summer without injury to the grass. 
Quantity required, 10 lbs for a plot of 300 square feet; 1000 to 1500 lbs. per 
acre in preparing new lawn, or ^ to § the quantity in renovating an old lawn.

RAM’S HEAD BRAND FERTILIZER. 
This is a pure Natural Manure, and the most nutritious food for plants. Its effect 
is immediate; much more lasting and healthy than guano. It is the best of all manures 
for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants—one part manure and six parts soil. Strewn 
over and dug into the vegatable garden or placed directly in drills or hills, it promotes a 
rapid, steady growth until maturity. It makes the richest, safest, and quickest Liquid 
Manure. For use in liquid form, 1 pound to 5 gallons of water will make a dark liquid 
which can be used with safety daily if necessary. In bags of 100 pounds each, $2; 34

NITRATE OF SODA. 
This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal to 
20 per cent, of ammonia. It is chiefly a stimulant; it is used 
in addition to other fertilizers. It is very quick in action and 
hastens the maturity of crops fully two weeks. Being ex¬ 
tremely soluble it should not be applied until the plants are 
above ground, when 100 to 500 pounds per acre, mixed with 
wood ashes or land plaster, for convenience in applying, are 
generally used. Price, per 5 lb. package, 30 cts.; 10 lb. pack¬
