FERTILIZERS 



For the Farm, Lawn and Garden. 



The importance of a productive soil can scarcely be estimated. If the whole people prosper for any consider- 

 able time.agriculture, the verj- 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 abandon it. It is not enough that the farmer get any pay for his labor and a profit besides 

 if he is thereby impoverishing 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 

 as this; besides it will make the potatoes 

 using this high grade goods. Analysis: 2 

 Sulphate Potash. 



TEN PER CEIT TRUCKER. 



It has given our trade the greatest 

 satisfaction. It is principally used 

 for ver>- early crops and has more 

 than paid for itself in the advanced 

 prices received for early vegetables. 

 As a tobacco bed fertilizer it is most 

 excellent. Analysis: 10 per cent. 

 Ammonia. 5 per cent. Phosphoric 

 .\cid. 3 per cent. Potash. 



SEVEI PER CEIT TRUCIER 



Is all right, because every user says 

 so, and one of the best evidences 

 aside from this is that our sales show 

 increases year by year. We recom- 

 mend this Fertilizer to all who look 

 forward to early and good crops. 

 Analysis : 7 per cent. Ammonia, 6 per 

 cent. Phosphoric Acid, and 5 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 ferti- 

 lizer. We recommend this grade for 

 most crops. Analysis: 2 per cent. 

 Ammonia, 8 per cent. Phosphoric 

 Acid, and 2 per cent. Potash. 



no goods sold :ha: will produce as many large marketable potatoes 

 white jind mealy. Potato growers should not risk a crop without 

 per cent. Ammonia. 8 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, and 10 per cent. 



ARMOUR'S GRAIN GROWER 



Is truly a gram grower, thereby mak- 

 ing poor farms yield good crops. We 

 sell these goods far and wide, and 

 have been more than convinced of 

 their value as a fertilizer for all grain 

 crops. Analysis : 2 per cent. Ammo- 

 nia. S per cent. Phosphoric Acid, and 

 2 per cent. Potash. 



ARMOUR'S PURE RAW BONE MEAL. 



At the outset we say the bone you 

 should buy and use is Armour's, be- 

 cause it is pure, finely ground, and of 

 first quality. There is no bone on the 

 market to-day 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; Phos- 

 phoric Acid, 24 per cent. ; Bone Phos- 

 phate, 40 to 45 per cent. 



:_^^ FINE GROUND ORIEO FISH. 



This fertilizing material is largely 

 used in mixing fertilizers. It con- 

 tains a large percentage 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 per- 

 centage of Ammonia and Phosphoric Acid. 



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 it a special feature of 

 our business, and are prepared to furnish any of the leading sorts in any quantity — in original imported pack- 

 ages with guaranteed analysis. 



Nitrate of Soda.— For very early vegetables, and giving an early sitart 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 vigor to plant life, and gives body and the dark green color that indicates 

 the necessary health to good crops. 



KaLnit I.s a Potash Salt and is used largely in mixed fertilizers, and also for top dressing of Asparagus, 

 where a Potash bait i; needed. 



South Carolina Kock is used for the Phosphoric Acid that it contains, and is valuable in mixing with 

 other goods.
