High Grade Fertilizers

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS 
Analysis will be furnished on application. 
The first four kinds offered below are the 
celebrated Bowker’s fertilizers and are of the 
highest grades obtainable. 
The Bowker’s Specials differ from other fer¬ 
tilizers because they actually aim to supply the 
required element in proper form and quantity 
to meet the wants of different crops or classes 
of crops, as shown by analysis, and their dif¬ 
ferent habits and conditions of growth. . lhey 
are complete fertilizers in that they furnish all 
the elements necessary to furnish for the pro¬ 
duction of crops. They are high-grade fertilizers 
and consequently must be made of high-grade 
materials. Low-grade raw stock cannot be used 
in high-grade fertilizers. The absence of fillers 
makes them exceedingly rich and concentrated, 
therefore the most economical to purchase, be¬ 
cause freight and other handling charges are not 
incurred on a quantity of worthless bulk.
