FERTILIZERS 
We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical 
fertilizers compounded for the best growth of various crops. Only the choicest, 
most soluble and easily assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly 
taken up by the plant will not w’aste in the soil. 
It is well understood among progressive farmers, that commercial fertilizers 
have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops 
without their assistance even where good animal manures are used.
