DON'T MINE" YOUR SOIL- FARM IT 



"Good Farming" is being able to produce profitable crops each year and at the same time to main- 

 tain and even to increase the productive capacity of the soil.

p^ • —•i.o > Many people have grown rich out of robbing the soil. If the methods of the 



^^C%S— Xi?^ ^A P^^* prevail mamy farms that have made money because everything was taken out 



and nothing put back will point the way of their future owiners to the poor farm. 



Continued cropping without replacing the food anmually consumed soon leads 

 to soil impoverishment and resultant small yields of poor quality. 



The object of "Davies Money-Seeds" is to furnish the three plant foods. Nitro- 

 gen, Phosphoric Acid, and Potash, in a concentrated and well balanced form so 

 that you farmers cam use them in the most economical and profitable manner. 

 When you use Davies Brands you not only provide ample food for the first crop, but 

 a considerable quantity is carried over to the next season, so that you are gradually 

 restoring your soils to their original high state of fertility, when it won't be neces- 

 sary to use but very little fertilizer to secure maximum yields. 



Replenishing the supply of "plant food" and maintaining the soil fertility should 

 be the first and foremost consideration of every farmer. Davies' Twenty-four (24) 

 Brands of Mi.xed Fertilizers enable the farmer to feed just the proportion of 

 each of the three elements the crop needs . The guaranteed analysis showing percentage of Nitrogen, Available 

 Phosphoric Acid, and Potash, is stamped om cver>- bag. 



We are only too glad to offer our assistance to those desiiring suggestions relating to the mixed fertilizer 

 they should use for any particular crop or piece of lamd. Write us- — we will consider it a favor if you do so.

WHY U-BAR GREEN HOUSES EXCEL 



There is the downright practical side of U-Bar houses, theside that means more flowers, more vegetables of finer quali- 

 ty, with less care and expense than in any other house constructed any other way. The reason for this is, — more light. 

 You see, there is no gutter at the eaves — no heavy framingmembers — the glass is spaced 24 inches. Every structural 

 detail has been reduced to the smallest possible point. Still, with all the extreme lightness of construction, there is not a 

 more rigid, enduring house made — and it is the U-Bar thatdoes it. 



The catalogue, although filled with U-Bar houses, both exteriors and interiors, 

 also shows plans, sections and all the interesting structural details that you like so 

 well to know. Send for it.
