HENDERSONS SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 
\\ e herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 
fertilizers, compounded for the best growth of various crops. 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. 
It is well understood among progressive 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. 
HENDERSON’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., S1.75; 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. 
HENDEKSON'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.
