MASTODON AMMONIATED
Soluble Phosphate,
Manufactured and sold by us for the past eight years, has gained a
reput lion* unequalled by that of any other Fertilizer ibis company hav
ing the highest testimonials as to its superior merits. Our
ACID phosphate:
Has been the standard tor many years, having no superior. Anticipating
a heavy demand, wo have manufactured a large quantity, which we war
rant equal to any heretofore made by us.
Low’s Georgia Formula
To those who have used it heretofore, requires no commendation
from us. We have only to say that the analysis of this sca-on is Hilly up
to any made in the past. Alter repealed request* from those who have
used it, wc have concluded to make a limited supply of our old brand of
Dissolved Bone Phosphate and Potash.
This article is made ofßone .Phosphate and Potash with frem one
hnlf to one per cent, of Ammonia, a very superior article, which has giv
en wonderful results when used alone.
Genuine Leopoldehall Kaiait,
Imported direct from Germany by the car load.
The country is flooded with cheap fertilizers, which are mido and
sold by irresponsible parties. Ask your merchants for our poods. Many'
dealers are representing to the farmers of Georgia that the goods which
they sell arc made by u, when such is tho case, they alwaya have writ
ten evidence of the fact, which they should be required to show. Reside
our standard brands above, we arc- prepared to put np any foimula desir
ed, provided it does not conflict with tne laws of the State in w hick it is
to be sold. Wo have superior facilities for manufacturing, and from onr
central position, we are enabled to fill orders with great promptness, and
fell that we can givo in the future, as we have done in the past, entire
satisfaction to all vho buy of us. Before purchasing elsewhere, please
