"PLANT FOOD
FARMERS, if you wish to use the best
and cheapest Fertilizer in the market, pur-
chase Ramsburg's Excelsior Plant Food "
It is manufactured from the best materials
that can be purchased, and has more raw
bone in it than any other Fertilizer sold
1t contains Ammonia by thorough chemi-
cal analysis, from to 81 per cent.
Acid or Ri Phosphate of Lime. ia to Is
Undissolvcd Bone. ..13 to IA
The value of Fertilizer depends upon
the amount of heterogeneous matter it con-
talns, in combination with a still greater
quantity Of Acid Phosphate of Lime, as
the one yields Ammonia to increase and
force the growth of the plant, and the other
to form the heads and produce a full dcvcl-
opcd grain.
And, therefore, the Fertilizer containing
the largest amount of Acid Phosphate OF
Lime, in combination with heterogeneous
matter, and also Undissolvcd Raw Bone,
is the most valuable to the farmer, and it is
certa in to yield TO him all that he desires, Il
good crop.
