i have used your fertilizers for a number of years, and the “A** Brand over since you originated the form¬ 
ula- I liod it adapted to all kinds of soil and a great variety of crops. , _ 
J have experimented with nearly all of the fertilizers that have been thrown on the market, and I lmd 
the “A” Brand more reliable than anything I have used. Irs solubility and the different forms of nitrogen In 
Its composition, make It readily available to tbe wants of the growing crop and Its benefits are especially 
seen In the after crops Of grass. . , , .

bushels nor acre.
