HOW TO USE BUCHANAN’S FERTILIZERS 
Fifty to sixty pounds of Tip-Top Fertilizer is sufficient for a garden 40 x 50 feet. 
Apply fertilizers on all field crops, 200 to 400 pounds per acre, according to the soil. 
Fertilizer can always be used to good advantage by opening up the row, sprinkling thinly the fertilizer; cover same with 
a little soil and sow your seed. Or it can be used by working into the soil along the rows after the plant is up, care being 
taken not to let it come in contact with the leaves or stem of the plant. 
For plants that are transplanted, work the fertil- 
izer into the soil thoroughly before transplanting, using from a teaspoonful to a small handful, according to the size and 
nature of the plant. 
Nitrogen is the element which primarily gives the plant growth and is especially necessary for rapidly growing crops as 
spinach, turnip, cabbage. Phosphate is a necessity for a strong, vigorous root system. Seed and fruit cannot be properly 
formed without an abundance of available phosphate. Phosphorus also hastens maturity. Phosphate should be applied freely 
to corn, small grains and legumes. Potash strengthens stems and stalks ef plants, improves the quality of the crop and 
makes it more resistant to disease. Potash is especially beneficial in giving color to fruit, enabling cotton to resist wilt, and 
should be applied freely to all root crops.
