High-Grade Animal Fertilizers.

Don't be misled by persons dishonorably adopting the same name for 

 Fertilizers as sold by us and giving cheaper grade of goods. A man who 

 does one dishonorable act will do another — look at the guaranteed 

 analysis and see that you are getting what you pay for. Names don't 

 make the goods. 



The importance of a productive soil can scarcely be estimated. If 

 the whole people prosper for any considerable time, agriculture, the 

 very foundation of material prosperity, must be carried on at a profit. 

 Profitable crops cannot be grown on a thin, poor soil. If the land is 

 not fertile, it must be made so by fertilizing, or the farmer may be 

 forced to abondon it. It is not enough that the farmer gets any pay for his labor and a profit besides if he is thereby im- 

 poverishing his farm. He must so farm that he not only gets pay for his labor, but at the same time maintain or increase 

 the fertility of his farm. This can be done if the farmer but understands thoroughly the principles of soil fertility and 

 puts his knowledge into practice. 



High-Grade Potato. We are of the opinion that there are no goods sold that 

 will produce as many large marketable potatoes as this; besides, it will make the 

 potatoes white and mealy. Potato growers should not risk a crop without using 

 these high-grade goods. Analysis: 2 per cent. Ammonia, 8 per cent. Phosphoric 

 Acid and 10 per cent. Sulphate (actual) Potash. 



Ten Per Cent. Trucker. It has given our trade the greatest satisfaction. 

 It is principally used for very early crops, and has more than paid for itself in 

 the advanced prices received for early vegetables. As a tobacco bed fertilizer it 

 is excellent. Analysis: 10 per cent. Ammonia, 5 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 3 

 per cent. Potash. 



Seven Per Cent. Trucker. Is all right, because every user says so, and one 

 of the best evidences aside from this is that our sales show increase year by year. 

 We recommend this Fertilizer to all who look forward to early and good crops. 

 Analysis: 7 per cent. Ammonia, 6 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 3 per cent. Potash. 



General 2-8-2. A Fertilizer for general uses, that's what its name implies. 

 The demand has been large for just such a Fertilizer. We recommend this grade 

 for most crops. Analysis: 2 per cent. Ammonia, 8 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 

 2 per cent. Potash. 



Pure Raw Bone Meal. At the outset we say the bone you should buy and 

 use is Armour's, because it is pure, finely ground and of first quality. There is 

 no bone on the market today that will compare with it; and if you will give it a 

 trial on your land, we confidently believe you will agree in what we say. Analysis: 

 4 to 5 per cent. Ammonia, 24 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 40 to 45 per cent. Bone 

 Phosphate. 



Bolgiano's Truckers' Special. This goods we have been selling for several years, and our trade has grown on it 

 most wonderfully. We recommend it as a general crop Fertilizer. This is made from Animal Tankage and Potash. Those 

 who have used it swear by it. 2 per cent. Ammonia, 8 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 2 per cent. Potash. 



Alphano-Humus. Prepared humus or vegetable mould is a great soil regenerator and plant food. Rich in nitrogen, 

 moisture retaining, and odorless. Absolutely free from weed seeds. The very best material for top dressing lawns, and for 

 indoor use in conservatories and in flower boxes and pots. 100-lb. bag, $1.25; ton (2000 lbs.), $18.00. 



Fine Ground Dried Fish. This Fertilizing material is largely used in mixing Fertilizers. It contains a large per- 

 centage of Ammonia, and is quick in action. 



Fine Ground Dried Tankage. Is used largely as a base in all Animal Fertilizers, and gives quick and fine results. 

 Contains large percentage of Ammonia and Phosphoric Acid. 



Ammonia led Bone. This is used largely by the best Truckers for general crops. Analysis: 2 per cent. Ammonia, 

 9 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 2 per cent. Potash. 



Bolgiano's Potato Fertilizer. After careful study and testing we have formed a mixture of Fertilizer ingredients 

 that have proven to give most excellent results in the growth of potatoes. Analysis: 3 per cent. Ammonia, 8 per cent. 

 Phosphoric Acid, 5 per cent. Sulphate of Potash. 



Fertilizing Chemicals 



A great many first-class Gardeners and Farmers have come to see the advantage of the use of 

 chemicals on their grounds and in building up their soils. We have for a number of years made 

 this a special feature of our business, and are prepared to furnish any of the leading sorts in quantity 

 — in original imported packages with guaranteed analysis. 



Nitrate of Soda. For very early vegetables, and giving an early start to grass or grain there 

 is nothing equal to it. Being almost pure Nitrogen, it does its work quickly and certainly. 



Sulphate and Muriate of Potash. All soils after being in cultivation for some years need 

 Potash in some form. It gives strength and vitality to plant life, and gives body, and the dark 

 green color indicates the necessary health to good crops. 



Kainit is a Potash Salt, and is largely used in mixed Fertilizers, and also for top dressing of 

 Asparagus, where a Potash Salt is required. 



South Carolina Rock is used for the Phosphoric Acid that it contains, and is valuable in mixing with other goods. 

 Bon Arbor Fertilizer. — Soluble Plant Life. Nitrogen, 16 to 18 per cent.; Phosphoric Acid, 6 to 7 per cent.; Pot- 

 ash, 4 to 5 per cent. For house, garden and greenhouse plants, it has no equal as a stimulant and plant starter. Price, 

 Y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $20.00. 



On Account of the War, 3% of Potash is the Highest Potash Goods Furnished.
