ARMOUR’S PURE ANIMAL 
FERTILIZERS 
Some seed doesn’t bring harvest, but you can’t 
harvest without seed. This is an unfailing principle. 
There are many other conditions which must be met 
to insure even a fair harvest. The seed must have 
attention — must be fed and carefully tended — the seed 
must be made to grow. 
It receives its nourishment from the soil, conse- 
quently the soil must be fed with the plant-food nec- 
essary for the proper nutrition of the plants. This is 
supplied by the application of proper fertilizers. 
Farm fertilizers are good, but in most cases they do 
not supply in sufficient quantity and balance the ele- 
ments necessary to the highest soil fertility or crop 
development. This is found in the best form in the 
Armour Pure Animal Fertilizers. The brands pro- 
duced by the Armour Fertilizer Works are the best 
fertilizers that can be manufactured, and contain all 
the elements necessary to the highest possible soil de- 
velopment. They are made from the best animal 
materials obtainable, and adapted to all conditions of 
soil. The mechanical condition is perfect. The 
consistent application of Armour’s fertilizers will 
result in increased soil fertility, increased crops and a 
consequent increase in profit. No soil is so poor but 
what it will be benefited by the proper application of 
Armour’s Animal Fertilizers.
