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, water¬ 
melon 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 size and weight of the fruit as well as matur¬ 
ing it one to two weeks earlier.

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.

BUCHANAN’S 4-8-8 FERTILIZER 
Analysis: 4% Nitrogen, 8% Phosphate, 8% Potash 
Especially good for fertilizing Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, 
tomatoes and all root crops. If properly applied it produces 
smoothness and firmness in the tubers and fruit, also giving 
earlier maturity. It is an excellent fertilizer for general crops 
on soils deficient in Potash, especially sandy soils.

$1.10; 100 lbs., $1.75. 
BUCHANAN’S 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.
