Watermelon growers knew that the secret of making this crop more profitable to them 
was to grow finer quality melons and to get them to market earlier. In an effort to solve 
their problems, watermelon growers have been doing some private experimenting. 
As a result of practical experiments hundreds of growers have discovered that Vigoro 
gives them the big, sweet, early-maturing melons they need to make a fair profit. Some 
have now been using Vigoro for several years and report that they always make a profit 
when they use Vigoro. 
Vigoro is a scientific product that was created to meet the needs of all plant life. 
Experiments and years of research proved that only a complete plant food . . . that is 
a plant food that contained all of the 11 elements scientists had proved plants require 
from the soil . . . would prove satisfactory. 
Because Vigoro contains all these elements in a balanced proportion, it assures the 
vines a square meal. Under such ideal conditions quick, healthy growth of both vine 
and melon can be expected. Experience has proved that Vigoro feeding increases the

NITRATE OF SODA—The most readily 
available form in which nitrogen can be 
had. Largely used for forcing vegetables, 
for applying to grass fields after each cut¬ 
ting. For field use, apply 150 pounds to 
acre; applied as a side dressing to cotton 
or corn will almost double the yield. 
Price, post paid—5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 75c; 
25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.25. Not prepaid— 
5 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., 
$1.50; 100 lbs., $2.25. 
SULPHATE OF AMMONIA—Sulphate 
of Ammonia contains 2514 per cent of 
Ammonia, or 20% per cent of Nitro¬ 
gen. We recommend that corn be top- 
dressed with Sulphate of Ammonia at the 
rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre, applied 
early in the growing period or when the 
plants are 2 to 3 feet high. For Orchards— 
Peach trees, apply when buds show signs 
of swelling, 1 to 2 pounds of Sulphate of 
Ammonia to bearing trees up to 10 years 
of age.

ACID PHOSPHATE is recommended 
for all legume, grain and grass crops, and 
for applying to all land deficient in Phos¬ 
phoric Acid. Beneficial results follow the 
addition of it to barnyard manure, all 
manure being high in ammonia but low in 
phosphoric acid. Apply 300 to 400 pounds 
to the acre broadcast.

BUCHANANS TRUCK GROWER 
Analysis: 4% Nitrogen, 8% Phosphate, 
4% Potash 
Vegetables of a leafy nature require 
an ample supply of nitrogen to give them 
that quick growth on which their quality 
largely depends; others, like beans and 
peas, demand, in addition, phosphoric acid 
to develop and produce their pods and 
seeds. Our Vegetable Grower is prepared 
for all garden crops. Apply 300 pounds to 
1,000 pounds to acre, depending on soil 
and crop grown. 
Price, not prepaid—5 lbs., 20c; 10 lbs., 35c; 25 lbs., 70c; 50 lbs., 
$1.00; 100 lbs., $1.65. 
STEAMED BONE MEAL —Our Bone 
Meal will analyze 24% phosphoric acid 
and not less than 2.47% ammonia. Bone 
meal is an excellent fertilizer for all kinds 
of fruit trees, rose bushes, grape vines, 
bulbs, ferns, and other potted plants, and 
for grass crops. It is especially desirable 
for producing solid, firm growth, which is 
an important feature in fertilizing the 
orchard, shade trees, shrubs, etc. Fine 
for lawns.
