OFFER.--SHRUBS 
Should you desire clumps of shrubbery anywhere 
on your lawn, if you will designate where you wish 
them located—whether at the corners or at the en¬ 
trances, or to hide objectionable views, or for the 
centre of the lawn, or near the house—we will make 
such selections as will be best adapted to the situa¬ 
tion and show to the best advantage. 
Fertilizers for Lawn, Garden and Greenhouses. 
Pulverized Sheep Manure. This is a pure natural 
manure—one of the best manures to mix with 
soil for potting plants—one part manure to six 
parts soil. ■ For vegetable garden, placed directly 
in hills or drills, it promotes a rapid, steady 
growth until maturity. As a lawn top-dressing 
it is unequaled. 100 lbs., $2.00. 
Meat, Blood and Bone ground up together. This we 
find the finest of all for all purposes. Gives 
quick and lasting results. Fine for lawns, gar¬ 
dens and greenhouse work. We can recommend 
this as one of the best. Put up in 250 to 300 lb. 
barrels at the rate of $40.00 per ton. 
Bone Fertilizers. 
Contain forty to fifty per cent, phosphate of lime, 
and nitrogen equal to about four per cent ammonia. 
Decompose slowly in the soil and, therefore, form ex¬ 
cellent permanent improvement, being less likely 
than almost anj^ other kind of manure to waste in 
rainy seasons, particularly on sandj' soils. There is no 
danger of burning the plants, whether applied as top- 
dressing or directly to the root*. Excellent for top¬ 
dressing lawns and grass lands, for garden and field 
crops. 
Quantity Required. Fortress and vines. 2 to 4 quarts 
each. For top-dressing, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per 
acre. For field and garden crops, % ton broad¬ 
casted and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot 
plants, etc., 1 part to about 50 of soil. 
Raw Bone Meal. Ground finely, decomposes more 
rapidly in the soil than the coarser grades, and 
is, therefore, more quickly beneficial. 
Price —100 lb. bag, $2.25; 200 lb. bag, $4.00; per 
ton of 2,000 lbs., $35.00. 
Raw Ground Bone. Not as fine as the meal, partic¬ 
ularly adapted for general fertilizing; the finer 
particles are immediately beneficial, the coarse 
keeping up the supply of food for the plants for a. 
long period. 
Price—Ver 100 lb. bag, $2.00 ; per ton of 2,000 lbs., 
$33.50.
