THIS WILL BE OF INTEREST TO YOU. READ IT. You will profit by reading this and buying ARNER'S PURE BONE SUPER-PHOSPHATES for Garden Vegetables. Follow directions carefully and you will save labor, double your crops with half the cost that you pay for stable manure. You introduce no weeds, which you do by thV use of manure, hence less weeding ; it is easily applied, in case of drought it retains moisture, is death to worms, it gives the plants a vigorous start and supports them in all stages of growth, hurrying the ripening from ten days to two weeks. Bear in mind that our fertilizers are a powerful and active manure, and in the different modes of application in the garden too much of it must not be allowed to come directly in contact with the seeds or plants. Do not forget this caution ! DIRECTIONS FOR USING : For Peas, Beans, Onions, Turnips, Beets, Lettuce, Cucumbers, and Garden Truck Generally Spade or dig over the soil, then sow broadcast liberally of our Victor phosphate, "say at the rate of 400 lbs. per acre." Mix or rake in the soil well, then uso a small quantity in the hill or furrow scattered well about, then drop your seeds and cover. For Corn and Potatoes apply a small handful to each hill, scatter well around, then drop your seed and coVer over ; another application at first hoeing as a top dressing will be very, beneficial, scatter a foot or more around from the stalks then cover over with soil. For. Cabbage, Celery and Tomatoe Plants Apply broadcast, and use a small quan tity in the trenches, being sure to mix well with the soil before setting out the plants. For Fruit Trees Spread around the trees as far as the branches, which is about the distance the roots extend, before a rain or mix with the soil with a hoe. For Grape Vines Apply around the vine some distance and hoe in the soil, this will not only increase the quantity, but improve the quality of the fruit, adding largely to the amount of sugar it contains, For Plants in Pots Dissolve our Victor Phosphate in water and apply in liquid form, not too strong. We advise to liberally broadcast our Fertilizers for the reason that as the plant grows the rootlets, which are the feeders, spread out they always find material to feed on, whereas, if it is put in the hill alone, unless scattered well about they soon extend over the Fertilizer and the growth is checked more or less for want of food. Our Victor Super-Phosphate is a Pure Bone Compound, readily available as plant food and ready for vegetation to receive its nourishment through its roots which are great obsorbents, and are always thirsty and sucking moisture, and when in the soil becomes soluable and the rootlets drink it in and it flows upward through the cells of the plant. No solid can pas into the root, its food must be as liquid, as is milk to the infant. The great secret of fat animals is an abundance of good, rich food, in like manner fat crops can cAy be obtained by the same liberal rich feeding. Put up in 50 pounds, 100 pounds and 200 pounds bags, price 2 cents per pound. Larger lots at a reduction.
