Wizard Brand Pulverized 
Sheep Manure 
This is probably the most extensively used of animal manures 
by the florist and market-gardener. The analysis shows it to be 
a perfectly balanced plant food. 
Pulverized Sheep Manure acts quickly and is invaluable for 
carnations, mums, and other crops that require a quick stimulant 
at certain stages of development or because of unfavorable weath 
conditions.

Wizard Brand Cattle or 
Cow Manure 
This is carefully selected manure taken from brick-paved cattle- 
pens at Western Stock Yards, where the highest quality of Cattle 
Manure is available in large quantities. It is kept entirely sepa¬ 
rate from other manures and is reduced by the Wizard Brand 
process of direct-heat drying and screening, but is packed in coarse 
shredded form instead of being finely pulverized. 
Shredded Cattle Manure is slower acting, and is especially suited 
to every need of the rose-grower for soil-mixing, mulching, and 
liquid manuring. It is used by many of the largest rose-growers in 
this cou ntrv.
