H ENDERSONS SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 
Better than Animal Manures. 
We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 
fertilizers, compounded for the best growth of various crops. Having made 
a careful study for many years of plant fertilization we have had exceptional 
opportunities for determining the proper materials for producing the greatest 
yield as well as early maturity. Only the choicest, most soluble and easily 
assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly taken up by the plant 
will not waste in the soil. Our fertilizers contain no weed seeds, have no dis¬ 
agreeable odor, are fine, dry and easily applied. 
It is well understood among intelligent farmers, that commercial fertilizers 
have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops 
without their assistance even where good animal manures are used. 
We are confident that no better commercial manures can be made than 
Henderson’s Special Fertilizers. 
No horn, leather, hair, marl or other insoluble materials enter into the com¬ 
position of our fertilizers. 
HENDEKSON’S CORN FERTILIZER. 
A perfectly balanced complete fertilizer containing a large percentage of 
phosphoric acid, the most essential element in the production of maximum 
corn crops. Nitrogen and potash are also supplied in sufficient quantities to 
form a perfect maize plant ration. 
Price, per ton, $37.00; 200 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 
$1.00. Guaranteed Analysis. Nitrogen 2.47%; Available Phosphoric Acid 
10.00% ; Potash Actual 5.00%. 
Quantity Required. Use 400 to 600 lbs. per acre. Half broadcast and balance 
in hills or drill mixing thoroughly with the soil before planting. 
HENDERSON'S 
CABBAGE AND CAULIFLOWER FERTILIZER. 
Contains generous quantities ammonia and potash so necessary for the pro¬ 
duction of large solid heads. The ammonia being in the form of nitrate of soda, 
the potash as sulphate, make the highest grade manure it is possible to com¬ 
pound for the best growth of cabbage, cauliflower and other Brassica crops. 
The liberal use of this special manure will produce large, compact white and 
perfectly formed cauliflower and big, hard, crisp cabbage. 
Price, $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 
S1.00. Guaranteed Analysis. — Nitrogen 4.12%; Available Phosphoric Acid 
7.00%; Potash 7.00%. 
Quantity Required. For early cabbage and cauliflower use 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. 
per acre broadcast and 400 lbs. in hill, scattering well and mixing thoroughly 
with the soil. For late cabbage and cauliflower , 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. broadcast and 
300 lbs. in hill, mixing thoroughly with the soil. 
HENDEKSON'S POTATO FERTILIZER. 
The highest grade complete potato manure it is possible to compound. The 
potash, derived from sulphate potash, produces tubers rich in starch, and of the 
finest quality, and does not need the addition of animal manure or other fer¬ 
tilizing agents to grow maximum crops of clean, well formed, marketable tubers. 
Price. $42.00 per ton; 200 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $3.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs..

7.00%; Potash Actual 8.00%. 
Quantity Required. Use 1,200 to 1,500 lbs. broadcast and'5 00 to 800 lbs. in 
hill or drill, mixing thoroughly with the soil befoie planting. It is essential in 
order to produce maximum crops that the ground be deeply and thoroughly stirred 
before planting and the Jertilizer well harrowed in. Potatoes require a loose, friable 
soil to attain perfection. ^

Good for all crops and unexcelled as a top dressing for grass lands and grain. 
An economical well balanced general fertilizer for all crops and soils.

900 tbs. per acre using 500 to 700 lbs. broadcast and 200 lbs. in drill. For Jodder 
corn use 700 lbs. per acre, 500 lbs. broadcast and 200 lbs. in drill. For mangles 
and turnips use 800 to 1,200 lbs. per acre using 500 to 800 lbs. broadcast and 
balance in drill. 
BONE FERTILIZERS. 
Decompose slowly in the soil, and therefore form excellent permanent im¬ 
provement, less likely than any other fertilizer to waste. With bone there 
is no danger of burning the plants. Excellent for top-dressing lawns and 
grass lands, for garden and field crops. 
Quantity Required. For permanent pasture and mowing lands, $ to 1 ton 
Per acre. For trees and vines, 2 to 4 quarts each. For top-dressings, 1,000 to

rowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, etc., one part to about fifty of soil. 
RAW^BONE MEAL. This is ground very fine, decomposes more rapidly in 
the soil than the coarser grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.
