 'n your bank account. It is like money put into a 

 successful manufacturing plant. It pays dividends.

 and the difference between a good bank balance 

 and none at all, frequently is — Potash 



Potash Pays 



Potash isn't a// there is to fertilizing, but 

 it is so essential that you must consider it.

 Gentlemen : — 



After using your prod'ict for past three months fnd that it has effectively 

 killed all the green and black Jiy on double and single violets in our houses — 

 without injuring in the least the Jiowers, or even tender center leaves. We 

 sprayed our yo <ng sweet pea vines, which were badly infested with green fly 

 and that one application has cleaned out every aphis visible to date. 



IVe have placed order for ten -allons Aphine ivith your local agents to keep 

 on hand — as we cannot afford to he short should another crop of fly appear. 



i'our truly 



y. H. SLOCOMBE. 



See pages 397 and 401 for other Aphine endorsement.
