IN THE GOLDEN 
GIANT SPURRY. 
SpuiTy is of great value for light or thin ffround, and several years' experimenting at 
the Michigan Agricultural College has proven that it is the only plant which can be 
grown on poor, sandv, drv soil, that will surely return a paying yield. Dr Manley 
Stiles, of Lansing, Mich., "calls it the clover of sandy soils, yielding 7,700 pounds per 
acre. In another report to the Michigan Agricultural Station, he says: The Sparry 
has shown wonderful productiveness. Its value as a manurial plant on light soils is 
pronounced. It seems to enrich the soil more rapidly than other plants. It is readily 
eaten by cows, sheep and cattle. The reports received from parties who have tested 
Giant Spurry are very; gratifying indeed. 
Everybody pronounces it a tremendous hay 
producer, and by all odds the best green fer- 
tilizer. Lb. 2SC. postpaid; lo lbs (enough for

Why You Should Plant 
Giant Spurry. 
Becatasc it is the most prolific fodder and 
hay plant for sandy soils, for worn out land, 
for poor and doubtful soils known. 
It flonrishes on sandy, worn out soils, 
where no other plant flourishes, and returns 
big Yields every time. 
It comes next to clover as a fertilizer. Take the poorest land or the worst land 
that you can imagine and sow 20 lbs. of Giant Spurry per acre. Do this two years, 
and you will have a soil for wheat, oats and potatoes. , 
The American Agrienlturist and all prominent agricultnral writers urge the plant- 
ing of Spurry.
