Ammonium Sulphate is a valuable fertilizer for all plants in 
which a large leaf development or rapid growth is desired. It 
will stimulate growth almost immediately. It is also used for 
top-dressing lawns, producing a thick velvet growth and dis¬ 
couraging the weeds. It is a highly concentrated nitrogenous 
product, containing 25 1 / 4 per cent ammonia, 20% per cent 
nitrogen. One pound to 200 square feet is sufficient applica¬ 
tion for lawns. 
Bone Meal. Extra fine; is a fertilizer recommended for lawns, 
rose bushes, grape vines, especially where a moderately slow 
fertilizer is needed for the deep-rooted shrubbery and where a 
perfectly safe fertilizer is required. It contains a phosphoric 
acid and some nitrogen. 
Granulated Peat Moss. For greenhouse, garden and home. 
Our Peat Moss is of the finest quality you can buy anywhere 
at any price. Its use contributes to the humus content of the 
soil, lighteping heavy clay and binding sandy soils. It insu¬ 
lates soil against freezing and thawing in Winter and con¬ 
serves moisture in Summer. Clean, odorless and economical 
to use. 
Sheep Guano. An efficient fertilizer to use on lawns, in the 
garden, the perennial border, shrubbery beds, small fruit gar¬ 
den, flower beds, etc. It is safe and dependable. A natural 
plant food and not a chemical stimulant. Every amateur gar¬ 
dener can get results with sheep guano. 
Nitrate of Soda. A fertilizer for all crops; quick in action and 
hastens the maturity of crops fully two weeks. It should not 
be applied until the plants are above the ground. Do not 
allow solution to touch foliage. Dissolve 1 oz. to 2 gals, or 1 lb. 
to 50 gallons. 
Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phosphate) is a water soluble 
combination of phosphoric acid and lime which is formed by 
the action of sulphuric acid on raw phosphate rock, one of 
the elements required in a balanced fertilizer. It aids in plant 
nutrition and assists the plant to assimilate other ingredients. 
Superphosphate is an efficient fertilizer element for lettuce, 
truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Tankage. Containing by-products from slaughter houses and 
contains blood, meat, bone that has been cooked, dried and 
ground. The analysis varies much, running from 5 to 9 am¬ 
monia and 5 to 15 phosphoric acid. It contains no potash and 
for best results potash should be mixed with Tankage. A 
quick acting organic. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering of lawns tends to 
sour the soil and eventually the lawn becomes foul with sorrel. 
Creeping Charlie, and other weeds which thrive in an acid 
soil. This condition may be improved by applying Hydrated 
Lime. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is especially valuable for 
fruit trees and berries.
