This is the only fertilizer professedly containing all the 
soil elements found in each crop. Prof. W. O. Atwater, of 
the Connecticut Agricultural Station, analyzed six of our 
different fertilizers, and found in every ca«e. as we guaran¬ 
teed, that they contained a larger percentage of 
plant-food elements than we claimed by the labels 
placed on each package. Send for circular. Address

acter as a first-class, reliable fertilizer more thoroughly es¬
