We make the broad claim that there is no 
fertilizer now on the market and offered to 
farmers that compares in uniform high quality 
with the Americus Ammoniated Bone Super¬ 
phosphate. Look at the results given below 
from all the Experiment Stations in the New 
England States that publish results of their 
tests of fertilizers. 
We challenge any competitor to show a 
similar record, not only in uniform qual¬ 
ity, bnt where the grade has in each and 
every case so largely exceeded the guar¬ 
antee.

Notice the wonderfully available condition of the Phosphoric Acid : In Maine over 95 per 
cent, of it is available, with but one twenty-third part insoluble ; in Vermont 95 per cent, is 
available, one twenty-second part insoluble ; in Connecticut 97 per cent, is available, and 
one thirty-fifth part only is insoluble, while in Massachusetts there is NONE insoluble, and 
it is ALL AVAILABLE. This is a marvelous triumph of applied chemical knowledge, and is
