Fertilizers.

plants and lawns are well supplied with plant food. There are many 
ways of supplying the soil with fertilizing material. For economy and

This is dry and finely pulverized, easy to handle and 
highly nutritious. Its effects are immediate and lasting.

the iooo sq. ft.; for the garden, two to three times this 
amount, depending upon the soil. There is no better fer¬ 
tilizer than this for roses, either in the garden or the 
greenhouse, and the lawns respond quickly. There is no 
need to cover one's lawn with offensive looking and had 
smelling stable manure'when better results as well as far 
more economical results can easily be gained by the use of 
this sheep manure. Send for special circular.
