Food for Lawns and Coif LinKs 
The increasing demand for a Lawn and Golf Dressing that is odor¬ 
less, 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 con¬ 
venient, portable and clean, inducing a rapid, rich green growth and a 
most velvety appearance. This preparation is in every way more 
desirable than manure, avoiding the unsightly litter, disagreeable odor 
and weed seeds, which cause an endless annoyance. Should be sown 
broadcast in spring or fall, or may be applied in midsummer without 
injury to the grass. 
Quantity required : 10 lbs. for a plot of 300 square feet; 1,000 to 
1,500 lbs. per acre in preparing new lawn, or one-half to two-thirds the

PURE SHEEP MANURE 
Ram’s Head Brand 
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 green¬ 
house plants—one part, of 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. 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, $2.00; j/ ton, 5 bags, 
$9.00; per ton, 20 bags, $30.00. In packages of 2, 4 ana 10 pounds,

cent, of ammonia. It is very quick in action and hastens the maturity

are generally used. Price per 5 lb. package, 30 cts.; 10 lb. package,
