FERTILIZER 



A definite plan of soil improvement, based on sound judgment and em- 



% yj L ploping the use of High Quality Materials can only result in profitable 



production. The condition of the soil determines the Quality and 



Quantity of the crop. ::::::::::: 



FERTILIZERS 



Highest Quality - - Animal Base - - Guaranteed Analysis 



The commercial fertilizers which we offer are made by one of 

 Baltimore's largest, oldest and most reliable manufacturers. 

 Animal base products are consistently used, making a plant food 

 which in its chemical action in the soil is best suited for continuous 

 growth of the crops. 



These fertilizers can be supplied in a number of combinations, 

 each having a guaranteed analysis which will prove most helpful 

 to the crop for which it is intended. Our volume of business in 

 vegetable fertilizers is rapidly increasing, because our customers 

 have found our stock to be strictly first-class, dependable, low- 

 priced, and productive of the best crops in competition with other 

 brands. 



THE BEST GRADES ARE THE CHEAPEST 



Why pay manufacturing and handling costs on fillers? The 



overhead expense of manufacturing, storing, handling and dis- 

 tributing on your fields is the same for the actual plant food as 

 it is for the other materials which simply make up bulk. These 

 figures tell why. Consider our 7-12-7 at $48.00 per ton. This 

 high-grade fertilizer has a total number of 26 availaole units. 

 Dividing 28 into S48.00 equals $1.87 cost per unit. 



With 4-8-4, however, which is still a high-grade fertilizer, the 

 total of 16 units at S33.00 per ton will cost $2.06 per unit. These 

 figures, however, do not take into account your cost of distribut- 

 ing, which would make the highest grade still more economical to 

 use because it would require over 50% more 4-8-4 to equal the 

 results obtained from 7-12-7.
