fertilizers, 
O NE can well afford to be quite certain that their growing trees, other 
plants and lawns are well supplied with plant food. There are many 
ways of supplying the soil with fertilizing material. For economy and 
good results we recommend the following: 
Sheep failure, 
A Safe and Convenient Fertilizer for 
Lawns, Gardens and Greenhouses. 
This is dry and finely pulverized, easy 
to handle and highly nutritious. Its 
effects are immediate and lasting. Foi 
lawns apply on the surface broadcast ioo 
pounds to the 1000 sq-. ft.; for the garden, 
two to three times this amount, de¬ 
pending upon the soil. There is no 
better fertilizer than this for roses, either 
in the garden or the greenhouse and the 
lawn responds quickly. There is no need to 
cover ones lawn with offensive looking and 
bad smelling stable manure when better re¬ 
sults as well as for more economical results can be easily gained by the. use of 
either sheep manure, wood ashes or ground bone. 
Prices':' 5 lbs., $0.35; 10 lbsi, $0.50; 100 lbs., $2.50; ton, ,$25.00. 
Sdgewood Brand Canada f)ard-C£lood. 
Gnleacbed Hsbes. 
A S a good all-round fertilizer, our Edgewood Brand Canada Unleached 
Hard-wood Ashes, have unchallenged value. For lawns, for fruit and 
ornamental trees and plants, they are superior to manure in many 
respects. They carry no weed seeds, are entirely odorless, are clean, easy 
to handle and spread. The beneficial effect resulting from the use of our 
brand is immediate and the marked improvement in health and vigor is 
readily seen. 
Besides a good proportion of Potash and some Phosphoric Acid, both 
valuable plant foods, our Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes contain a 
liberal amount of Wood Lime. This latter element is especially valuable 
in renewing and sweetening land which has become stiff and sour from the 
too frequent application of stable manure, or from other causes. 
Spread evenly from one to two tons to an acre,, according to the con¬ 
dition of the soil, or, for small lawns, 100 to 150 pounds to 1000 square feet 
of sod.
