Sulphate of Ammonia (Dry) 



As a nitrogenous stimulant there are few fer- 

 tilizers that are more satisfactory than Sulphate 

 of Ammonia. It is highly concentrated, showing 

 a guaranteed analysis of 25 per cent Ammonia. 

 There are many grades of Sulphate of Ammonia 

 on the market, some of which are saturated with 

 moisture, and are lumpy and practically in- 

 soluble. 



Our Sulphate of Ammonia is dry and of a 

 fineness that may be almost compared to gran- 

 ulated sugar. Consequently it is easy to apply 

 and distribute evenly, either by hand or me- 

 chanical means. 



Sulphate of Ammonia is particularly de- 

 sirable for grass lands, lawns, sports turf or 

 pasture grasses. It is also freely used for grains 

 and market crops. Orchardists use it for stimu- 

 lating fruit crops. Being readily soluble, it is 

 quickly available. 



Price, 5 lbs., packed weight 6 lbs., 75c.; 10 

 lbs., packed weight 11 lbs., $1.25. By express 

 or freight only: 25 lbs., $£25; 50 lbs., $3.50; 

 100 lbs., 56.00. Prices on larger quantities 

 quoted on request."
