STECKLER High Grade Fertilizers 
There are three chemical elements of plant 
food commonly used in fertilizers. They are 
nitrogen, phosphates and potash. A balanced 
fertilizer is one which contains all three, and 
gives a complete diet to the crop. And the 
composition of a balanced fertilizer is common- 
ly expressed in a formula of three numbers 
with hyphens between, thus 4-12-4. The first 
indicates the proportion of nitrogen; the second, 
the proportion of phosphates; the third, the 
proportion of potash.
