HOW TO KNOW FERTILIZERS. 



[Continued from pace 17.] 

 it contains, in round numbers, twenty- 

 one to twenty-two per cent of phos- 

 phoric acid. This is equivalent to from 

 nine to nine and six-tenths per cent 

 |)liosidi()rus. 



Potash Equivalents. 



The analyses of the potassic ferti- 

 lizers also contain terms which may be 

 confusing. The term potash often is 

 used in ]ilace of potassium. Potassium 

 is expressed as ]ier cent of available 

 potash. Tills is soluble in water and 

 .•ivaiiable to the i)lan1. In fertilizers 

 the imtassiuiii occurs mainly in the form 

 of the muriate and sulphate. Tlie terms 

 which we commonly meet in a guaran- 

 tee-analysis of potassic fertilizers are: 

 I'otasii, actual potash, sulphate of po- 

 tash, water-soluble jiotash, muriate of 

 potash, and potash cfpiivalent to sul- 

 phate of potash. In order to find the 

 equivalent auKUints of potassium in the 

 diflerent forms of its compounds, the 

 following factors may be employed:

Complete and Incomplete. 



Fertilizers may be purchased either 

 as complete or as incomplete fertilizers. 



The TREND of the TINES 



Is for elimination of duplicated 

 effort; a manifold billing ma- 

 chine replaces four clerks; 

 and for all simplification of 

 operations; the punch press 

 does it all in one motion. 



Alert florists recognize this prin- 

 ciple of economy; they BUY 

 standard stock which comes 

 ready made, with no waste 

 of effort; let a professional 

 economizer effect their econ- 

 omy; and use their own glass 

 for what cannot well be trans- 

 ported or raised in standard 

 units. 



Successful men are those who 

 watch the trend of the times.
