PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means or Method of Supplying Manure or Stimulants to
Plants, Bulbs, Trees, and other Vegetable Produce.
I ARTHUR BOOTY of Rose Villa Nurseries, High Harrogate, in the County of
York, Florist do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
-
The object of my invention is to prepare manurial or stimulating substances in such
a form that they can be applied in properly distributed quantities to plants, bulbs,
trees and other vegetable produce, suitable to the nature, form or position of such
plants, bulbs, trees and other vegetable produce.
For the above purpose 1 mould any suitable manurial or stimulating material in a
small cylindrical, conical or other desired shapes, and compress them into solid forms,
after which they can be pushed into the earth surrounding the plant, bulb, tree or
other vegetable produce.
Any number of the above described manurial or stimulating forms may be applied
to plants in accordance with their requirements.
The properties of the manure or stimulants are gradually given off in the earth
and absorbed by the plants, bulbs, trees or other vegetable produce as required,
nourishing them thereby.
By the above means, plants, bulbs, trees and other vegetable produce can be
supplied with manure or stimulants without their application being unsightly or
unpleasant.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means or Method of Supplying Manure or Stimulants to
Plants, Bulbs, Trees, and other Vegetable Produce.
I, ARTHUR BOOTY of Rose Villa Nurseries, High Harrogate, in the County of
York, Florist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following-statement
:-
The object of my invention is to prepare manurial or stimulating substances in such
a form that they can be applied in properly distributed quantities to plants, bulbs,
trees and other vegetable produce, suitable to the nature, form or position of such
plants, bulbs, trees and other vegetable produce.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevation. Fig. 2 a
longitudinal section and Fig. an end elevation, shewing the construction of the
stimulating material, on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 shews the application of the same
to plants in their pots.
For the above purpose I mould any suitable manurial or stimulating material in
small cylindrical, conical or other desired shapes, and compress them in any suitable
machine or apparatus so as to make them firm or solid, but in practice I find the form
shewn at Figs. 1. 2 and 3 is most efficient, not only with regard to shape for inserting
into the earth, but also by being provided with the chamber A it more readily and
effectively imparts to the plants its manurial qualities.
The stimulating form is pushed into the earth, small end downwards and below the
surface of the soil as shewn at Fig. 4, and any number of such stimulating forms may
be applied to plants in accordance with their requirements.

page_text: The properties of the manure or stimulants are gradually given off in the earth
and absorbed by the plants, bulbs, trees or other vegetable produce as required,
nourishing them thereby.
By the above means, manure or stimulants are applied without being unsightly or
unpleasant.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The arrangement, construction and application of manurial or stimulating forms,
for nourishing or stimulating plants, bulbs, trees and other vegetable produce, substan-
tially as herein set forth.
