lb.- question of the most profitable fertilizer 

 for potatoes has been the subject of very 

 extended investigations. 



""■ '■■■"'■ '--nifiT 



fe# 



The conclusion is that 1000 lbs. per acre of 5% 

 ammonia, 8"o phosphoric acid and lO/o 



POTASH 



for early potatoes and 800 lbs. of 3-6-8 for the late crop are the 

 most profitable under average conditions. The Potash should 

 be in the form of Sulfate. 



Many growers use double these amounts. 

 Such brands can be had if you insist upon them. Do not accept 

 so-called potato fertilizers of Inw grade. 

 Write us for Potash prices and for Free books with formulas 

 and directions.
