FERTILIZERS 





^Y-X 



AboiJ 



We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 

 fertilizers compounded for the best growth of various crops. Only the choicest, 

 most soluble and easily assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly 

 taken up by the plant will not waste in the soil. 



It is well understood among progressive farmers, that commercial fertilizers 

 have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops 

 without their assistance even where good animal manures are used.
