Do you raise early or late potatoes ? 



There's a difference between early and late 

 varieties that should be considered in fertilizing. 



For the early kind use i.ooo pounds per acre 

 of a fertilizer containing io%' 



POTASH 



5% ammonia and 8% phosphoric acid. Under average conditions, 8oo pounds 

 of 3-6-8 is the most profitable for late crops. 



Some growers double these amounts, for they 

 are convinced that Potash Pays. 



Caution; Be sure your Potash for potatoes 

 on heavy soil is in the form of Sulfate. 



Write for Potash prices and for Free books 

 with formulas and directions. We sell any 

 amount of Potash from a 200-pound bag up.
