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 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 fimer 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 oiten as the grass seems to need nourishment. 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 befoi e a 
shower. It is equally as suitable for flower beds and all vegetable crops as for the lawn.

BRECK’S MARKET GARDEN MANURE. 
Not subject to our special offers, but a discount of 5% may be deducted when cash accompanies order. 
A high grade, properly balanced, chemical fertilizer that is especially recommended to market gardeners and 
farmers for potatoes and all vegetable crops. We sold large quantities of it last year, and already we have had 
many testimonials, also increased orders from those who had it for use this spring. Jt is beyond a question the best 
value offered in Chemical Fertilizers. 50 lbs., $1.00 ; 100 lbs., $1.80; ton, $34.00. 
R*R LAND LIME (HYDRATED). 
R-R Land Lime is specially prepared for use on the soil, and is an unusually pure calcium lime, being made 
from a lime-stone which analyzes from 93 to 97 per cent, calcium carbonate (Ca C O3), with less than 2 per cent, 
magnesian carbonate (Mg C O a ). It is a combination of calcium hydrate and calcium carbonate, made in accordance 
with the recommendations of the various Agricultural Experiments .Stations. It is shipped in the form of a fine 
white powder in ioo-pound cloth bags. This form is most convenient, as it is ready for immediate distribution on 
receipt or will keep indefinitely when stored in a dry place; size and shape of package admit easy handling; loss of 
time and labor necessary to slake and sift ordinary lump lime is obviated, and the fineness removes all danger of 
breaking machinery of a spreader. 100 lb. bags, $1.00; per ton, $14.00. Price on application for car lots. 
UNLEACHED HARD WOOD ASHES. 
Our tradj in this valuable fertilizer has grown to such an extent that we have for a number of years had an 
experienced agent employed in Canada collecting the purest, driest and choicest grade of Hard Wood Ashes that is 
obtainable. We guarantee the percentage of potash and to insure against too much water we accept none that con¬ 
tain more than 12 per cent, moisture. We quote special prices on carloads in bulk delivered anywhere. Price, per ton. 
in sacks, f. o. b. Boston, $18.00 net; per sack of 100 lbs., $1.25.
