Fertilizers for All Purposes 
Fertilizers are beg-inning- to interest us in the Northwest and their increased use is inevitable. 
Experiments during the past few years have shown that phosphoriKs is the most needeil element in 
most prairie soils. 
No fertilizer can do much good without moisture, and conversely irrigated land responds to the limit 
if fertilizer is applied. Hence any irrigator should familiarize himself with fertilizing practice. Much 
of the needed nitragin can be most cheaply derived from manure and legumes. 
The three necessary elements in plant growth which are not always present in the soil are nitrogen, 
which stimulates luxurious growth; phosphorus, which has a tendency to force bearing and hasten 
maturity, and potash which stimulates growth, delays maturity of grains and grasses but hastens 
maturity in root crops. We offer these three elements separately below, nitrogen in the form of nitrate 
of soda and ammonia sulphate, phosphorus' in the form of bone meal and superphosphate, potash in 
the form of muriate of potash. Good conibinations for general use are 400 lbs. superphosphate and 200 
lbs. each of nitrate of soda and muriate of potash per acre or 8 per cent phosphate, 5 per cent nitrogen 
and 7 per cent potash. 
For gardens, yards, lawns and small intensively cultivated areas the ready prepared fertilizers such as 
Vigoro are the most economical and convenient to use and the best adapted. 
Use 4 lbs. to 100 Sq. Ft.' 
For lawn, flowers, small, fruits and the 
den Vigoro is the ideal fertilizer. Apply 
in early spring and watch the grass turn 
green and grow luxuriously. It improves 
both the quality and quantity of all kinds 
of flowers, both annual and perennial and 
will add greatly to the quality and the 
production of your vegetables, small fruits 
and ornamental shrubs. 
Vigoro contains all the 11 elements 
needed for proper plant nourishment.
