Honest”
With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a f%rtilizer whose
only recommendation 1s its
analysis. It requires no spe
cial knowledge to mix mate
rials to analyses. The value
of a fertilizer lies 1n the ma
terials used, so as not to
over feed the plant at one
time and starve at another.
This 1s why Royster brands
are so popular. Every in

work to do. Twenty-five
years experience in making
goods for Southern crops has
enabled us to know what is
required.
