small plant or 25 to 30 pounds per 1000 square feet.

GOLF or LAWN FERTILIZER (Swift's 12-6-4) 
After years of experimenting, Swift & Co. have prepared this 
special fertilizer which is recommended for large estates and golf 
courses. A high grade, well-balanced plant food which has given 
wonderful results. Water-in if grass is tender, or apply just before 
a rain or run the back of a rake over the blades of grass after 
applying. Use 1 0 to 15 pounds to 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $1.50 50 lbs., $2.50 1 00 lbs., $4.00 
PEAT MOSS — IMPORTED 
No other material is quite its equal for soil conditioning. It 
will retain water 6 to 1 0 times its dry weight, and is free of all 
weed seeds. As a mulch, especially for roses and perennials, it has 
no equal. Sold in bales of approximately 20 bushels which will 
cover 300 square feet 1 inch deep. Spaded in with manure it has 
the ability to absorb enormous amounts of fertility and water which 
the plants readily take up. Indispensable to the good gardener. 
There is a Difference In the Quality—Buy the Best 
Bale $4.00 Per bushel 50c 
SHEEP MANURE 
A safe and excellent organic plant food. Used for top dressing 
and incorporating in the soil. Not especially high in food elements, 
but well balanced and valuable as humus. Use 50 to 100 lbs. per 
1 000 sq. ft. 
25 lbs., $1.00 50 lbs., $1.75 100 lbs., $3.50 
SULPHATE OF AMMONIA 
Contains only nitrogen which is one of the most important 
elements. Encourages rapid succulent growth and where the other 
essential elements are present will give wonderful results. Tends 
to create a slightly acid condition. Use 10 lbs. to 1000 sq. ft. 
10 lbs., 50c 25 lbs., $1.00 100 lbs., $3.50 
TURF BUILDER (Scott's 1 0-6-4) 
This is especially made for feeding grass, though it can be used 
whenever a complete fertilizer is needed. It is not all chemical but 
contains fifty per cent vegetable matter, thereby giving immediate 
and lasting results. Because of its concentration will go much far¬ 
ther than most other fertilizers. If grass is tender, "water-in." 
For broadcasting, use 1 0 to 20 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $2.00 50 lbs., $3.50 1 00 lbs., $6.00

roses, shrubs and evergreens. Water-in after applying.
