AGRICO 5-8-7 
Use Agrico 5-8-7 for your Po¬ 
tatoes and insure a crop of uni¬ 
form quality and high yield. For 
the home garden the most prac¬ 
tical way to apply the fertilizer 
is to trench out the rows to a 
depth of six inches. Place the 
Agrico in the bottom of this 
trench at the rate of 10 lbs. per 
100 ft. of row. 
The fertilizer should then be 
mixed with the soil in the bot¬ 
tom of the trench and covered 
with from 2 to 3 inches of soil 
and the seed planted in the usual 
manner. Be sure to have 2 to 3 
inches of soil separating the 
fertilizer from the seed so as to 
prevent any possible injury to 
the seed.
