Breck’s Ram’s Head Brand Pulverized 
Sheep Manure 
A standard dressing for lawns and around private 
homes or cemeteries; on golf courses and wherever a 
strong, luxuriant growth of grass is needed. No time is 
lost waiting for Pulverized Sheep Manure to rot, as is 
the case with stable or Barnyard Manure, and no neces¬ 
sity for raking off refuse after an application of Breck’s 
Ram’s Head Brand, or danger of tracking into the house, 
or making the lawn unsightly or evil smelling. 
Apply Ram’s Head Brand two or three times during the 
season before rain or watering at the rate of one pound 
or over to 30 square feet or less. This will keep the 
lawn or golf course in flourishing condition. 
Ram’s Head Brand is pure and unadulterated. We get 
it from Sheep Corrals where the animals have been kept 
under cover, hence it retains its full strength, and besides 
has been put through a mechanical drying and grinding 
process which destroys absolutely all weed seeds, render¬ 
ing Ram’s Head Brand very valuable for the florist to be 
used as a bench fertilizer. 
We are selling increased quantities of our brand to the 
Florist for this purpose and w r e can highly recommend it.

Alfalfa in New England 
Scotch Soot 
This is much used by florists and gardeners, both as a 
fertilizer and fungicide. Mixed with Flowers of Sulphur 
(two-thirds soot, one-third sulphur) there is nothing bet¬ 
ter to prevent and cure mildew. Used as a fertilizer 
either in the dry state or in liquid, it quickly promotes 
growth. Per bag of about bu., $2.50.

vary in size from one-quarter to an inch. It is unsur¬ 
passed as a lasting fertilizer for grape vines, fruit trees, 
shrubs and trees of all kinds. It should be used liberally 
in grape vine borders and when setting out vines and 
fruit trees. Mix with soil to a depth of one foot or more.

The greatest forage crop known is now grown with 
great success in all sections. This wonderful crop can 
be grown wherever the soil has good drainage—seed bed 
well prepared and seed inoculated. The Rhode Island 
Agricultural Experiment Station has demonstrated that 
the reason for failure to grow alfalfa is because of the 
absence of the proper bacteria in the soil, and by the 
use of Farmogerm inoculation upon the seeds, this condi¬ 
tion has been overcome, and alfalfa is a decided success. 
Farmogerm will provide all inoculations for alfalfa or 
any other legumes. It comes in bottles ready for use. 
You can inoculate the seed for ten acres in ten minutes. 
FARMOGERM—High-Bred Nitrogen Gathering Bacteria— 
Seed and Soil Inoculations—Clovers, Soy Beans, Cow 
Peas, Beans are legumes, and are greatly benefited by 
the proper inoculation. This inoculation not only in¬ 
creases the crop in weight but also in richness, and 
deposits in the ground upon the legume roots great 
quantities of nitrates. These nitrates are available to 
other crops that may be growing at the same time with 
the legumes, or that may be grown afterward. One thou¬ 
sand pounds of nitrates per acre are added to the soil 
by using inoculations upon legumes, thus doing away 
with the most expensive part of your fertilizers. We 
strongly advise the use of Farmogerm upon any and all 
legume seeds. Farmogerm inoculations are endorsed by 
farmers and Federal and State Agricultural Experiment 
Stations throughout the country. 
Garden Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas yield earlier and longer 
when inoculated. Order Farmogerm for all these seeds.
