Use Nitraco For Your Garden 



Have More and Better Vegetables 



For Canning 



Grow wore vegetables, bigger vegetables and 

 better vegetables by using XTTRACO in your 

 garden from now on. Sow it in the drills 

 when you plant, and cover with a thin layer 

 of soil before sowing the seed. Cultivate 

 XITRACO into the ground when the plants 

 are in blossom. From then on, vegetables 

 are being formed and require an abundance 

 of available plant food, which XITRACO 

 provides. You can be absolutely sure that 

 where you use XITRACO, the increased re- 

 turns will more than pay for the investment. 



XITRACO contains the vital foods that 

 all vegetables and flowers need, in just the 

 right proportions. 



XITRACO supplies Xltrogen in both 

 chemical and organic form, which gives ex- 

 tra vigor to stem and leaf growth, and will 

 deepen the color and give greater substance 

 and tissue. 



XITRACO supplies Phosphoric Acid, 

 which promotes the growth of vegetables, 

 and will hasten their maturity. 



XITRACO supplies Potash, that aids in 

 the formation of starch in the plant, and 

 gives body to the potato and other vege- 

 tables. Potash adds color and quality. 



XITRACO is finely granulated. It is 

 simple and pleasant to use. It is so highly 

 concentrated that ioo lbs., costing, S6, are 

 ample to fertilize the average garden and 

 lawn, covering approximately 8,000 to 

 12,000 square feet. 



XITRACO is the only garden fertilizer 

 that is sold on a strict' money-back basis. 

 It is unconditional!}" guaranteed to give 

 satisfactory results.
