H enderson's SPECIAL FERTILIZERS. 
BETTER THAN ANIMAL MANURES. 
Wo herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 
fertilizers, compounded lor the best growth of vaiious crops. Having made 
a careful study lor 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 arc employed, and while quickly taken up by the 
plant will not waste in the soil. Our fertilizers contain no weed seeds, have 
no disagreeable 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 arc 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.

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 possiple to com¬ 
pound for the best growth of cabbage, cauliflower and other Brassica crops.

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 A quarts each. Fcr top-dressing, 1 ,000 to 
1,500 lbs. per acre. For field and garden crops, 3 to 1 ton broadcasted and har¬ 
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.

general fertilizing; the finer particles are immediately assimilated, the coarse 
keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. 
Price per 100 lb. bag. $3.00; 200 lb. bag, $5.00; per ton of 2,000 lbs., $42.00. 
Raw Crushed Bone. Invaluable in the preparation of land for the laying 
down of new lawns, grass lands, etc. being slow but permanent in action, in¬ 
dispensable in the preparation of grapevine borders—for fruit trees, small fruits, 
etc.—where a lasting fertilizer is required.
