FERTILIZERS 



For the Farm, Lawn and Garden. 

 HIGH.(.RADF AMMAL 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 

 .i;ike the goods. 



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

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

 v.ry 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 

 :.ot fertile, it must be made so by fertilizing, or the farmer may bo 

 forced to abandon it. It is not enough that the farmer gets 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 fertifity of his farm. This can be done if the farmer but understands thoroughly the principles of soil fer- 

 tility and puts his knowledge into practice. 



On Account of the War, 2^° of Potash Is the Highest Potash Goods Furnished. 



TE>' 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, 2 per cent. Potash. 



SEVEN PER CENT. TRl'CKER. 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 recoiimend this FertiUzer to all who look forward to early and 

 good crops. Analysis: 7 per cent. Ammonia. 6 per cent. Phosphoric Acid, 2 per cent. Potash.

 Acid. 2 per cent. Potash. 



PURE R.4W BONE .MEAL. At the outset we say the bone you should buy and use is Armour's, because it is pure,

 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. 4S per cent. Bone Phosphate,
