In connection with the above, would say
that extensive experiments with fertilizers in grow
ing tomatoes have been made by the Maryland
Agricultural College and at other experiment sta
tons. The results have uniformly demonstrated
that large crop OF firm fruit from the ferti
llzer testing high in Nitrogen and higher still in
Potash, IN connection with fair percentage of Phos
phoric Acid, which is found in every complete ferti-
zer. Our Special Tomato Fertilizer is guaranteed
to test
Ammonia, .... ~ to 81 Per Cent
Available Phosphoric Acid, Z to Per Cent
Potash, actual, 7 to Per Cent
The Ammonia is derived entirely from fine
ground steamdred Fish Scrap and Nitrate OF Soda
These materials combined, furnish the most active
and valuable form of Nitrogen for tomatoes. The
Potash is derived from the highest grade source, and
is given in stronger percentage than for any other
crops excepting potatoes and tobacco. This parc-
ular formula was strongly recommended by one Of
the state experiment stations, and was used with
great success by the late Samuel H. Miller, who
raised fine fruit and commanded ready market for
all he packed. Messrs Stanley Bros, of Elk Neck,
to whom we refer by permission, and who have had
very great success in growing tomatoes with this
fertilizer, used fourteen tons last spring.
Our Bush River Compound is also made ex-
pressly for tomatoes, and has been used with great
success in Bush River Neck, Hartford County, and
we refer by permission to Mr.. Charles w. Baker,
who has used the goods, and has handled them tor
several years. This brand is made exactly like our
Special Tomato Fertilizer, the only difference being
it is lower in Ammonia by one per cent? the other
elements being guaranteed the Farmers who
expect to plant tomatoes and to secure profitable
crop, will certainly have much better prospects if
they use such goods we have described. These
brands are made expressly for tomatoes, and have
been used with the greatest success in the tomato
growing district of Hartford County and right here at
home. The percentages guaranteed are not only in
accordance with the recommendations OF the best
authorities we have, but the actual formula or ma
terials used, those that have proved in many ex-
periments and in actual field cultivation far superior
to all other kinds.
