Box 9, National Union Building 

 Wa^ington, D. C. 



Why fertilize for vine instead of for what you sell or pack? 

 The fertilizers offered to canning crop growers are generally too 

 low in available 



POTASH 



They produce too mucli vines and not enough of the beans, peas, com and 

 tomatoes that bring good cash for their trouble. If you are raising canning crops, 

 don't accept a fertilizer lower than lO to 12% in Potash. 



Write for oar booklet oa fertilizers for special Crops. It shows how Potash Pays 



If your dealer sells only low-grade goods, get our prices on Potash Salts. We 

 will sell any amount from one bag of 200 lbs. on up.
