FERTILIZE for Increased Crop Yields 
HOW TO USE FERTILIZERS Fifty pounds of Garden Fertilizer is sufficient for a garden 4{~50 feet. For most field crops, use 
from 200 to 400 pounds per acre, according to the soil. Fertilizers can always be used to good 
advantage by opsning up the row, sprinkling thinly the fertilizer; then cover the same with a little soil and then sow your seed. Or, 
they can be used by working them 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 fertilizer into the soil thoroughly before transplanting, 
using from a teaspoonful to a small handful, according to the size and the nature of the plant. 
4-8-8 FERTILIZER 
Especially good for fertilizing Irish potatoes, 
sweet potatoes, tomatoes and all root crops. 
If properly applied it produces smoothness 
and firmness in the tubers and fruit, also giv- 
ing earlier maturity. It is an excellent ferti- 
lizer for general crops on soils deficient in 
potash, especially sandy soils,

square feet.
