Fertilizers and Plant Foods 
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 fertilizers 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 different habits and conditions of growth. They are complete fertiliz¬ 
ers 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, because 
freight and other handling charges are not incurred on a quantity of 
worthless bulk.

Wilson’s O. K. Fertilizer (for Feeding Trees). Wilson’s O. K. Fertilizer fills 
a long-felt want for feeding trees in a manner so that they get the 
direct benefit at the proper time. It is balanced so that it feeds equally 
as it contains about 20 per cent. Ammonia, 6 per cent. P. Acid and 5 
per cent potash. The best method to use is to make the holes about 
18 to 20 inches deep, with a crowbar about a yard apart and out about 
as far as the bough of the tree reaches, as that is where the feeding 
roots are active. Then fill the holes up to within about 5 inches of the 
surface with Wilson’s O. K. Fertilizer and fill the rest of the hole with 
soil, or if on the lawn, cut out a piece of sod and replace it after the 
fertilizer is used. For feeding small trees or shrubbery, where there is no 
grass, the fertilizer can be sprinkled right on the ground or on the sur¬ 
face of Baytrees, English Ivy and plants of that character.
