FERTILIZERS
'.••.
We herewith offer thoroughly reliable, and properly balanced chemical
fertilizers compounded for the best growth of various crops. Only the choicest,
most soluble and easily assimilated ingredients are employed, and while quickly
taken up by the plant will not waste in the soil.
It is well understood among progressive farmers, that commercial fertilizers
have become a necessity and that it is not possible to produce maximum crops
without their assistance even where good animal manures are used.

the soil than the coarser grades, and is therefore more quickly beneficial.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
