PURE BONE MEAL

fertilizers. This is the only grade of Ground Bone we

ery to an even fineness—nothing is added, and is free 
from any adulterant. This is a very valuable enricher 
of the soil. Per lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $2.85. 
BLOOD MEAL

quick-acting fertilizer, analyzing very high in effective 
nitrogen ; in fact, the nitrogen of Dried Blood is one of 
the most effective forms of organic nitrogen known.

izer, a little going a long way. Write for price.

A highly concentrated form of potash. Used in

A desirable form of potash, especially valuable for 
potatoes and any root crops, such as beets, turnips, 
etc.; also cabbage, etc. Write for price. 
SUPERPHOSPHATE 
Analysis—Phosphoric Acid, 16% 
This is what is known as acid phosphate and is 
commonly used where a fertilizer high in Phosphoric 
Acid is wanted. Especially valuable on berries and 
fruits as it improves the color and shipping qualities. 
While the phosphoric acid in this is not so valuable as 
that in Bone Meal it is more quickly available and in 
some cases more useful. Super-phosphate is recom¬ 
mended as a top dressing for grass lands and grains. 
It is generally used at the rate of 800 to 600 lbs. per 
acre. Write for price. 
ARTIFICIAL MANURE 
(Patented in the United States and Abroad) 
ADCO is a powder which, when mixed with almost 
any non-woody vegetable waste and kept moist, grad¬ 
ually converts the mass into real manure, fully equal 
to the farmyard product in fertilizing power, but free 
from foul odor, flies, weed-seeds, etc. The process is 
perfectly simple and not at all laborious. 
GARDENERS can now have plenty of manure at 
low cost and little trouble. 
FARMERS, by utilizing straw, corn stalks, etc., can 
secure their manure without the expense and labor of 
maintaining live-stock.

These Two Agents Create 
Acid Soil 
Aluminum Sulphate—In quick preparation of an 
acid soil for Rhododendrons and other Broad-leaf 
Evergreen Shrubs, the most efficient and readily avail¬

num Sulphate.” The amount required to overcome the 
existent alkaline or limey soil condition, varies; but 
is roughly % to 1 pound per square yard, scattered 
over the surface. Repeat every six months. If only 
available water for sprinkling is too hard and alka¬ 
line, barrel it and treat with this chemical. Write for 
price. 
Sulphate of Ammonia—A nitrogenous plant stim¬ 
ulant, very quick in action, tending to make soil acid. 
Increases leaf-growth. Much used on lawns, which it 
not only feeds, but weeds are discouraged; when top¬ 
dressing lawns apply 1 ounce per square yard or 350 
pounds to the acre, but first mix with several times 
its bulk of soil or sand. Between rows of spinach, 
lettuce, cabbage, etc., 3 pounds to 100 running feet 
may be broadcast and hoed in. As a liquid stimulant 
dissolve 1 ounce in a gallon of water and apply to the 
roots of plants. Write for price.
