* * FERTILIZERS. # * 
Last season we advertised three special fertilizers. As we found considerable difficulty in getting- these manufactured 
reliable parties, we have concluded the present season to offer no special fertilizers, but instead to offer one of general value ai 
to give advice as to what additions may be needed to it to make it specially valuable for special crops. In other words, in¬ 
stead of offering separately a fertilizer for corn, another for cabbage, and a third for crops in general, we will give suggestions, 
founded on many practical tests made at our Experimental Stations, as to what to add to Bradley’s Complete Vegetable 
Manure to adapt it for these crops. We thus virtually enable our customers to become compounders of their own fertilizers. 
The Bradley Fertilizers are too well known to need any indorsement from us. They are made from the best of materials 
and are in excellent mechanical condition, being both dry and fine, dropping very readily from any fertilizing machine. 
Bradley’s “Complete Manure for Vegetables and Potatoes’’ was the fertilizer used by Mr. 
Tassinari, in addition to twelve cords of barn manure, in helping along his big onion crop, which is 
illustrated on the back cover of this catalogue. The analysis of this fertilizer is as follows: — 
Bradley’s Complete Manure for Potatoes and Vegetables. 
Ammonia. 4.50 to 5.50 per cent. 
Available Phosphoric Acid. 8.00 to 10.00 “ 
Total. 9.00 to 12.00 “ 
Actual Potash. G.00 to 7.00 “ 
Equal to Sulphate of Potash.11.00 to 13.00 “ 
Price of Bradley’s Complete Manure, delivered free on cars in Boston. Per ton, $42.50: per 100 lbs., 
in bags, $2.25. 
This Fertilizer is excellent to use in a general way for any crop raised on the farm. “©# 
To * Good Goro Fertilizer for most soils. 
Where the soil specially needs potash, and extensive experiments have proved this to be the case with most soils, add to the 
Bradlev Brand from 4 to 6 per cent more of potash, which, in the form of sulphate, would be from 175 to 225 lbs. to the ton. 
Apply the extra potash broadcast and harrow in. It is too strong to apply directly to the hills or drills. 
To nM? \ Good Potato Fertilizer for most soils. 
Where the soil is especially deficient in potash add to each ton of the Bradley 250 lbs. of Sulphate of Potash, and for all soils 
add from 75 to 150 lbs. Nitrate of Soda. Use 6 cords of manure, ploughed in, and from 500 to 1,500 of the fertilizer aery 
thoroughly mixed with the soil in the drills. Where the larger quantity is used, broadcast and harrow in half of it; 100 lbs. 
more of the Nitrate of Soda added will make a compound excellent for onions. 
For a thorough treatise on Fertilizers, telling everything a practical farmer would like to know about them, I would refer 
my customers to my work on “ Fertilizers,” which they will find described on second page of cover.
