FERTILIZEI^S 



For the Farm, Lawn and Garden. 



Tlie importance of a produclive soil can scarcely be estimated. If the whole people prosper for any considerable time, agricul- 

 ture, the ver>- foundation of material prosperity, must be carried on at a profit. Trotitable crops cannot be grown on a thiii, poor 

 si>il. If the laml is not fertile it umst be made so by fertilizing, or the farmer may be forced to abandon it." It is not enough thai 

 the farmer get any pay for his lalor and a profit besides if he is thereby impoverishing his farm. Ih- 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 tlu hunu i 

 but understands thorouglily the principles of soil fertilit\ an<l puts his knowledge into ])ractice. 



High Grade Potato. 



We are of the opinion that there are no goo<ls sold that will pro<luce as many large marketable potatoes as this ; besides it will 

 make the potatoes white ami mealy. Potato growers should not risk a crop without using this high grade goods. Analysis : I per 

 cent. Ammonia: S per cent. Phosphoric .\cid; and ID per cent Sulphate (actual) Potash. 



TEN PER CENT TRICKER. 



It h.i> guiii iiur tr.ide the v'riatest Siitis- 

 faction. It is principally used for verj 

 e;irly crops and has more tlian paitl for it- 

 .self in tlie advancetl prices received for early 

 vegetables. As a tolxicco be<l fertilizer it is 

 e.xcellent. Analysis: 1(» per cent. Anmionia; 

 5 per cent. Phosphoric Acid; 3 per cent. 

 P.itash. 



SEVEN PER CENT TRICKER 



Is all right, because even,- user says so, and 

 one of the tjest evidences aside from this is 

 tliat our sales show increases year by jear. 

 We recommend this Fertilizer to all who 

 look forward to early and goo<l crops. An- 

 alysis : 7 per cent. Ammonia; 6 per cent. 

 Phosphoric Aciil; 5 per cent IV)tash. 



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 recom- 

 menil this grade for most crops. Analysis : 

 2 per cent. Ammonia; S per pent, Pho.spho- 

 ric Acid; 2 per cent. Potash. 



ARMOUR'S GRAIN GROWER 



!.-> lrul\ a grain grower, lliercby making jioor 

 farms yield good crops. We sell these gocxls 

 far and wide, and have been more than con 

 vinced of their value as a fertilizer for all 

 grain crops. Analysis: 2 per cent. Am- 

 monia; 8 per cent, Phosphoric Acid; 2 j)er 

 cent, Potash. 



ARMOUR'S PURE RAW BONE MEAL. 



At the outset w-e say the bone vou should 

 buy and use is Armour's, because it is pure, 

 finely ground, and of first quality. There is 

 no bone on the market to-day that will com- 

 pare 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 ,S per 

 cent. Ammonia; 24 per cent, Phosphoric 

 Acid; 40 to 4,S per cent, Bone Phosphate. 



FINE GROUND DRIED FISH. 



This fertilizing material is largeh' used in 

 mixing fertilizers. It contains a large per- 

 centage of .\innionia and is quick in action. 



Fine Ground Dried Tankage. 



Is used largely as a base in all Animal Fertilizers, 

 and Phosphoric Add. 



gives quick and fine results. Contains large percentage of Ammonia 



Fertilizing Chemicckls. 



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 s^jils. We have for a number of years made it a special feature of our business, and are preparecl to furnish 

 any of the leading sfjrts 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. 



feiulpliate and Muriate of Potasll. 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. 



Kainit is a Potasll Salt and is largely used in mixed fertilizers, and also for top dressing of Asparagus, where a 

 Potash Salt is nee'led. 



South Carolina Rock is u.sed for the Phosphoric .\cid that it contains, and is valuable in mixing with other goods.
