High-Grade Fertilizers 
We have carefully considered the needs of our customers in making up our list of Fertilizers, and in the following list 
will be found brands with balanced analysis to meet the needs and requirements of the most exacting grower, whether he 
raises Vegetables for market or home use, grows Grain and Grass crops. 
We recommend the use of the higher grade Fertilizers, as experience has proven that the high-grade fertilizers are 
much more economical to use than the lower grade goods at cheaper prices, as the cost of bags, labor, freight, drayage, 
storage, and other items of expense is the same per ton on low-grade goods as on the higher grades. 
Prices of Fertilizers griven below are the prices In effect at the time this catalog goee to press. All sub¬
