THE VALUE OF NITRATE OF SODA. 



Nitrate of Soda furnishes to young plants the most essential of all plant foods, nitrogen, in 

 its most available (soluble) form. Applied when the plants are young, the effect is immediate 

 and lasting, the result is an earlier and heavier crop. Its advantage over farm yard manure 

 is that it acts much more quickly, for this reason for high priced early crops the use of 

 Nitrate of Soda is essential for the best results. Try a crop, one portion with Nitrate of Soda 

 and another portion without. Figure the difference in net results. Our customers who have 

 once used it always come back the next season v.'ith an increased order. Price, 5 lbs., 35c; lO 

 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $4.00; 500 lbs., $18. .50, at Cliieago or New Y'ork. The market 

 varies and prices are subject to change. Write for prices on larger quantities.
