Fertilizers for Summer and
Fall Top-Dressing and
Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
cellent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
oughly reliable. We can also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers in
accordance with these formulas. We
/ should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, etc., to any one
who will write US, mentioning this pa
