FERTILIZERS 
How to buy Fertilizers 
A standard garden encyclopedia 
offers this excellent advice: 
"In buying fertilizers the garden¬ 
er will do well to follow the 
proctice of the most successful 
commercial growers, namely, to 
confine his selection to standard 
brands that have given satisfac¬ 
tory results over a long period 
of years, and to make his final 
choice upon the basis of the 
actual cost of the plant-food in¬ 
gredients contained rather than 
the prices of the mixtures as a 
whole. Some mixtures which cost 
more than others are actually 
more economical than others 
that cost less, when the contents of 
each are calculated on the basis 
of actual fertilizing ingredients."
