Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal ?upply of Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant foods ? that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash ? from the just the same as any other crop. Experi ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized that " return to the land what the tree removes if you would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best growers. Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. " I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O. Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., "and yours proved to be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia Carolina Fertilirers are cheapest because of their good qualities ? give better satisfaction and quicker results. Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub lished in the new 1009 Farmers* Year Book, a copy of which will be sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
