Pulverized Manures. 
jfl r) OTH first cost, economy and ease of applying are too important factors to 
I) disregard in the handling of fertilizers. Commercial fertilizers are ,no 
** doubt, all right for special purposes, but in pulverized natural manures we 
have nature’s own way and in a most convenient form for handling. They are 
just as they come from the stockyard pens, only they are thoroughly dried and 
put through pulverizing machines. If you have never used these pulverized 
manures, you will be agreeably astonished with the results. 
Applied on the lawns in early spring or fall and a deep green growth will 
quickly follow, which will remain throughout the season under favorable conditions. For 
applying at time of seeding down new lawns, nothing will give better results. For lawns 
apply on the surface broadcast 100 pounds to the 1,000 square feet; for the garden, two to 
three times this amount, depending upon the soil. 
Inquire for special printed matter. 
Pulverized Sheep Manure and Pulverized Cattle Manure. These manures vary but 
slightly in their chemical make-up, and can be used with seemingly equally good results, 
either having^ its staunch friends.

Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures. 
We offer bnly the best grade of grass seed the market affords, and. as you will note, 
offer it by weight. The old way of selling seed by bulk measure was at best very unsatis¬ 
factory to the purchaser. Modern recleaning machines now make possible the removing 
of much of the chaff and foreign matter, so that seed so treated is very much heavier for 
the same bulk, much less quantity being required. See instructions on each package. 
Quantities to use of the following mixtures : 1 lb. to 400 square feet; 100 lbs. for one acre. 
( Edgewood Mixture for General Use, 
Composed of a variety of grasses, so as to produce a permanent velvety lawn under 
varying conditions and in the quickest time. Especially valuable for seeding newly graded 
lawn areas,' pleasure grounds', golf links, etc., and for re-seeding the bare places that will 
appear in established lawns, and for thickening thin lawns. 
Edgewood Shady Place Mixture. 
A mixture of varieties specially suited for shady places, otherwise similar to the above. 
- N Prices for the Above Mixtures. 
Per lb., 25 cts. (by mail 35 cts.); 3 lbs., 65, cts. (by mail, 80 cts.); 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., 
$1.85; 15 lbs., $2.75; 25 lbs., $4.25; 50 lbs., $8.25; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Specimens for Immediate Effect. 
At the nursery we give special attention t a growing into large sizes many 
kinds of Fruit and Ornamental Tree#, Shrubs, Vines, etc., for by their use much 
i quicker results can be obtained than by the fise of smaller stock. Many instances 
occur where the purchaser gladly pays the additional charge for such stock over 
the usua( sizes. 
Particular attention is called to our large collection of specimen Evergreens, 
ready for immediate effects. A visit to the nursery is desirable where the selection 
of individual specimens is required, however, by sending us a description or what v 
is desired we will make careful selections. By this method we frequently fill orders 
I to the entire satisfaction of the purchaser. $
