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 satis¬ 
factory Lawn Dressing ever placed upon the market. It is a brand manufactured expressly for our own trade, 
and we can therefore vouch for its containing all the constituents required to produce a growth of grass of a 
luxuriant nature and rich green color. While many Lawn Dressings are claimed to be odorless, we believe be¬ 
yond a question that ours is the only absolutely odorless. It is also so clean that the most fastidious person 
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, stimu¬ 
lates them to greater activity, thereby thickening the sward and producing a firmer 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 applica¬ 
tion 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 per¬ 
fectly 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.

SHEEP MANURE. 
The superior of all natural manures. Better than any chemical fertilizer. This is a pure natural manure, 
an( * the most nutritious food for plants. Its effect is immediate. It is the best of all manures for mixing with 
the soil for green-house plants one part manure and six parts soil. Strewn over and dug into the vegetable 
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, rivalling guano, without any deleterious effects. For use in liquid 
form, one pound to five gallons of water will make a dark liquid which can be used with safety daily if necessary. 
Retail price, in bags of 100 lbs. each, $3.50; ^ ton, five bags, $15.00; per ton. 20 bags, $45.80. Sheep manure
