UP-TO-DATE FERTILIZERS 



FOR 



UP-TO-DATE FARMERS 



Are you a business farmer? Do you 

 buy simply "Farmers' Delight" or do 

 you purchase units of plant food ? Now 

 that the war is ended we can offer for 

 the first time in quantity two high-grade 

 fertilizers : 



AMMO-PHOS 



10.7% Nitrogen (13 •; Ammonia) 



47 9t Available Phosphoric Acid 



Think of a " 13-47 "- sixty units of 

 plant food in one ton ! This phosphate 

 of ammonia is a nearly pure chemical 

 with its nitrogen in the form of ammonia 

 and its phosphoric acid mostly soluble in 

 water. Ammo-Phos is endorsed by expe- 

 riment stations and agricultural scientists 

 everywhere. It is especially suited for 

 use alone for pushing peas and beans and 

 for grains, or in conjunction with manure 

 of tankage for general crops. 



AMMO-PHOS AND 



TANKAGE MIXTURE 



10 7c Nitrogen (12 '/t Ammonia) 



25 '^c Available Phosphoric Acid 



Approximately one-half of the nitrogen 

 is mineral and one-half organic, phosphoric 

 acid mostly water soluble. 



These fertilizers leave no objectionable 

 salines in the soil, are non-caustic, clean, 

 fine-ground, dry, and are packed in 100-lb. 

 bags. Prices extremely low, analysis con- 

 sidered. Potash furnished if desired. 



We are also offering a full line of all 

 fertilizer materials. Write us for prices 

 and formula suggestions for 1919.

Prohibits Sale of Fertilizer Found to be 

 Misrepresented 



The Secretary of Agriculture, on .Jan- 

 uary 1.3, issued an order prohibiting the 

 Nature's Fertilizer Co., 12 South Mar- 

 ket Street, Boston, Mass., from selling 

 their product, variously known as "Na- 

 ture's Fertilizer," or ■ "Nature's Plant 

 Food and Soil Rectifier," "under any 

 form of representation, direct or indirect, 

 that it has a distinct value as a fertilizer 

 or is equal or superior to the usual and 

 well-recognized kinds of commercial fer- 

 tilizer." 



This order is the result of a very care- 

 ful investigation into the merits of the 

 product, including a three-day hearing in 

 the State House, at which witnesses in 

 favor of and opposed were given a full 

 hearing. The conclusion is that the 

 product contains only 4 per cent of 

 potash, which is practically unavailable 

 for plants, and that, there is nothing in 

 the material to justify its sale as a fer- 

 tilizer.
