Be sure and work the Fertilizer in the ground. Do Not Use as a Top Dressing. In transplanting plants, put about a teaspoonful in with the plant and work it in.

Soda’ ects .fie.c: ead ceca hich set iste er epee ae 3.50 65,00 THE USE OF FERTILIZER Fertilizer is no longer an experiment; it pays o0 all crops and on any kind of land. It is used with paying results on the richest land as well as the poorest. Recent test at the Tennessee Experiment Station shows that the best returns for capital invested in Fertilizer came from the plot on which the most Fertilizer had been applied, viz: 1,525 pounds per acre. The test also demonstrated the superior value of Tennessee Acid Phosphate as compared with Bone Meal. One-half quan- tity being equal in results to Bone Meal. hosphate from the mines in Tennessee is considered as good as any in the world. It is exported to the agricultural countries of Europe in large quantities. This alone demonstrates the great value as a Fertilizer. It supplies the best source of Phosphoric Acid, and as this chemical remains in the soil until absorbed by the plant, and is not leached out as ammonia and potash, the farmer is making a permanent investment to his soil in applying Tennessee Acid Phosphate. The great value of a fertilizer is in its solubility and its special fitness for the crop to which it is to be applied. A Fertilizer for one crop is not always good for another. It is, therefore, important that the farmer should purchase his fertilizer, with full information as to the crop it is intended for. We have enjoyed twenty years of successful manufacture of fertilizer, and it is with great pleasure that we see the sales of goods increasing each year. Cus- tomers write us in every Southern State attesting the value of our goods. The gradual improvement of the land where the Ox Brands have been used success- fully for several years. GRADES OF FERTILIZERS FOR SPECIAL SOILS A gray, sandy soil is generally deficient in all the elements of plant food and requires a complete fertilizer. Clay lands have more or less Potash, but need Phosphoric Acid. Bottom lands, rich in vegetable matter, are generally deficient in Phosphoric Acid and Potash. In places where rich soil and vegetables matter has accumulated, and the grain crops do not flourish, on account of the straw being weak and the grain lodging, a liberal application of Potash is generally very beneficial.

Requires neither pots nor soil. Lives on air and water. Flourishes in a window, suspended by a cord. Thousands of this interesting Japanese novelty were sold in the last two years. The ball is composed of dormant fern roots wound upon a globe of moss, and so constructed as to send out beautiful green leaves from every point. They grow rapidly and make a beau- tiful decoration. When the ball is received, immerse it in water several hours, then suspend it in any desired position, after which, water about three times a week. Requires from 1 to 4 weeks to start into growth and the most water when it is in full leaf. The Fern Ball may be allowed to dry up at any time, and be set away and be started again by watering as before. Price each 35 cents; by mail 50 cents postpaid. Tinsley Seed Co. 912 N.
