It IS very desirable for greenhouse 
and flower garden work, also for 
lawns and vegetables. It is rich in 
Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, Potash 
and Lime, and shows an analysis of 
between 77 and 80 per cent, of 
Humus.

Iluinus with % of regular potting. 
I’or lawns and greenhouse benches 
it is applied as a top dressing from 
Ve to 1 inch in depth, which should 
bo then worked in. 
The following quantities are re¬ 
quired to effectively cover an acre, 
depending upon the liberality with 
which it is applied. If applied 
inch in thickness, 30 tons per acre; 
if 1 inch thick, 60 tons per acre; if 2 
inches thick, 120 tons per acre; and 
for general lawn work, as a top 
dressing, 100 lbs. will effectively 
treat about 800 square feet. One ton

MichelFs Keystone Plant Tubs 
Plants, large or small, appear always to better advantage when 
planted in tubs instead of pots. They are easier handled because 
they are much lighter in weight; they are more attractive and 
bring a higher price. Tubs have welded hoops, except bottom 
hoop, which is flat (and neat handles, when desired, at extra 
prices, as mentioned below). Unlike pots, they do not break, nor 
do they require special packirig when used in shipping. Made 
of white cedar, they are by far the cheapest, neatest, lightest 
and best 
florist tub put on 
the market.
