FERTILIZERS 
All sold at current market prices. Ask for quotations. 
As we go to press it appears the government intends regulat- 
ing the use of nitrogen and some other types of fertilizers to 
use only in growing vegetables. Many small home owners and 
gardeners growing only flowers, we are sure, will bear with 
these regulations for the duration. They may use substitutes 
with equally good results, such as digging in quantities of peat 
or leaves in the fall, and making use of bone meal, chicken 
manure and fish scraps and similar waste. When the war is 
over we will again offer a complete line of commercial fer- 
tilizers. : 
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 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, 
lightening heavy clay and binding sandy soils. It insulates soil 
against freezing and thawing in winter and conserves mois- 
ture 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, ete. It is safe and dependable. A natural 
plant food and not a chemical stimulant. 
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, It aids in 
plant nutrition and assists the plant to assimilate other in- 
gredients. Superphosphate is an efficient fertilizer element for 
lettuce, truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
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.
