HOW TO BUY FERTILIZERS 
A Standard Garden Encyclo- 
pedia offers this excellent 
advice: 
‘‘In buying fertilizers the ear- 
dener will do well to follow the 
practice 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 ingredients 
rather than the prices of the mix- 
tures 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 in- 
gredients.’’ 
‘‘Sometimes analysis figures do 
not convey the true worth of a 
mixture, especialy if not backed 
up by a reliable manufacturer or 
dealer. Some ingredients may be 
slowly soluble or practically in- 
soluble in one brand but readily 
so in another, For instance, a fer- 
tilizer composed of wood ashes, 
ground phosphate rock and sul- 
phate of ammonia would not be 
comparable in value, though hav- 
ing the same percentage analysis, 
as another composed of nitrate of 
soda, muriate of potash, and su- 
perphosphate. Hence it is im- 
portant to know what the com- 
position is as well as how much 
of each ingredient is in the mix- 
ture.’’
