— HOW TO BUY FERTILIZERS 
A Standard Garden Encyclopedia offers 
this excellent advice: ‘In buying fertiliz- 
ers the gardener will do well to follow 
the practice of the most successful com- 
mercial growers, namely, to confine his 
selection to standard brands that have 
given satisfactory 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 mixtures 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 ingredients." 
"Sometimes analysis figures do not con- 
vey the true worth of a mixture, especial- 
~ ly if not backed up by a reliable manu- 
facturer or dealer, Some ingredients may 
be slowly soluble or practically insoluble 
in one brand but readily so in another. 
For instance, a fertilizer composed of 
wood ashes, ground phosphate rock and 
sulphate of ammonia would not be com- 
parable in value, though having the same 
percentage analysis, as another com- 
posed of nitrate of soda, muriate of pot- 
ash, and superphosphate. Hence it is im- 
portant to know what the composition 
is as well as how much of each ingredi- 
ent is in the mixture." : 
We offer special purpose fertilizers for 
use wherever a special formula is needed. 
Knowing the soil conditions and growing 
problems of this territory as we do, we 
can prescribe just the right formula for 
every case. 
We have fertilizers for vegetable gar- 
dens, flowers, roses, trees, lawns—what- 
ever the need. 
Whether you know the formula you want 
—or want one recommended especially — 
to handle some situation of your own, 
be sure to consul} us
