$6 Buys Enough Nitraco 



to Fertilize the Average 



Garden and Lawn for an 



Entire Season 



4% Ammonia, 8% Available Phosphoric Acid, 2% Actual Potash 



"JVTITRACO is a universal fertilizer in such highly concentrated form that 100 pounds 

 ^ ^ are ample for an entire season, for a garden containing 8,000 square feet, if planted 

 entirely to potatoes. Or for one of 12,000 square feet of general vegetables or flowers. 



It will give abundant food, the season through, for a lawn containing 12,000 

 square feet. 



Or to say it another way, 100 pounds of NITRACO are sufficient for both the 

 average garden of 4,000 square feet and a lawn of 8,000. 



Altho highly concentrated, it will 

 not injure the most delicate plants, 

 unless used to excess. 



It is so perfectly balanced in the 

 foods it contains, that it can be used 

 with highly satisfactory results on 

 anything that grows. 



Being odorless, it can be used at 

 any time without offense. 



Being finely pulverized, it is easy 

 to use. 



Being so highly concentrated, every 

 ounce of it is actual plant food. 



Its use means conservation and 

 economy in every sense of the word. 



It keeps indefinitely. 



With NITRACO, you can give to 

 your vegetables, flowers or lawn, just 

 the right amount of nitrogen, phos- 

 phoric acid and potash they need. 



Directions for First Use 



For your garden, sow it in the seed drills, 

 scattering a little dirt over it. Then put in 

 your seed and cover with dirt in the usual way. 



This under-crop fertilizing, as it is called, 

 will be sufficient for the immediate needs of 

 the roots and to carry the average plants 

 through the season. 



Second Use 



As the season advances, if you want extra 

 fine results, sow a little NITRACO along the 

 surface near the roots and cultivate it in. 

 The increased growth will be quickly notice- 

 able. 



This is a particularly good thing to do 

 when tomatoes, peas and beans are just ready 

 to bloom. It payingly increases both the 

 quantity and quality of the yield. 



Making Mixtures 



If you have fire place wood ashes or hum- 

 us, mix NITRACO with it in quantities of 10 

 partsorless tol of NITRACO. Thesemixtures 

 are especially good for Second Use purposes. 



For all summer blooming roses, it can be 

 dug around the roots every two weeks. The 

 increased bloom results will surprise you.
