Garden, Lawn and Farm Fertilizers 



WHY FESTELIZZIKS ARZ! NE CUSS ART 



Plants are constantly drawing nitrogen, phosphorous, potash and other elements 

 from the soil, and when your farm or garden produces a crop of vegetables, flowers, 

 cereals or fruits, a certain portion of these important plant foods are removed from 

 the soil. 



Continued planting and removing of crops would soon exhaust the supply of these 

 necessary plant foods, were it not that by the use of commercial fertilizers, stable 

 and barnyard manure, we are able to replenish the supply and thereby keep up the 

 fertility of the soil. 



Stable and barnyard manures are now difficult to obtain and it is only by the use 

 of commercial fertilizers and green manures that we are able to put back into the 

 soil, the important elements that have been removed. Owing to the fact that some 

 crops take more of one element from the soil than others, our fertilizers are made up 

 of special formulas for the different crops. 



Prices on Fertilizer are based on delivery to the transportation company, or called 

 for at our storeroom. If city truck delivery is desired, add drayaffe charg-eg of 50c per 

 100-lb. sack; or 25c per 100 lbs. in lots of lOOO lbs. or over.

 are excellent as a top dressing for lawns 

 and grass land and owing to their alkali 

 power will render dry soils more plastic 

 and likewise aid in making open porous 

 soils more firmly bound. Use 5 lbs, per 100 

 square feet or 1500 lbs. per acre.
