TI5I".4C'l'ORY. - We saw one large patch half of which .liad n treated and half not. ln mid-season the treated plants were ly twice as large and vigorous as the untreated; and at the cud the season, when harvested, there were more and larger tubers m the treated than from the others. Many other users have rtetl similar results. hlntjcorge Baldwin, of-Torouto, onc the best known Canadian hoiliculturists, gives his experience in letter in our book of testimonials. _L ICINDSV OF FIELD" CROPS require practically the same nt food as our garden crops, and while soil and climate condi- s may vary the exact increase in yield from the use of Sloilgro, results are much the same with field crops as with the garden p5. ' ‘ TISFACTORY RESULTS WILL BE SECURED from the ‘ of Soilgro alone, on potato crops, in a great many eases, and almost every case its use will permit a large reduction in the ountfof chemical fertilizer used, and better results will be se- ed at lower costs. R THE GRAIN FARMER . Soilgro will produce ciirlicr and better grain crops, if used ording to directions. To get the bcstresults the_ seed should treated before planting. The cost of Soilgrd in quantity is so deratc that the grain grower can well affordto use it unspar-. ‘ly. Where Soilgm is used the estimated increase in crops is m i0 to 50 per ceiit., depending upon soil and climatic condi- ns. All seeds treated with Soilgro, on test, have germinated in ut one-third less time than untreated seeds. Soilgro treatment t only accelerates and increases growth ‘but it improves the ality of the product. For example, to grow a much finer quality f wheat means much to the farmer. _ ‘ l‘ Follow for grain seeds the general directions-allowing sufii- eiit time while the seeds are immersed in the Soilgro solution for em to soften, and for the bacteria to become attached to the eds. But do not Icavcjfhem immersed long mough to permit ger- rlIGIlOIL. Let the seeds dry ont after this in a warm shady place on a y surface, spreading them out in thin layers. Seeding should be OCECCiBd with as soon as the seeds are dry enough to go through t‘. drill seeder. lR THE DAIRY FARMER “‘ Soilgro is most excellent for pasture growths. Soilgro is inexpensive that tlie dairy farmer can use it on his pasture land I get increased crops of alfalfa, clover, hay, etc. Treatment is the same as for lawns, by sprdying with the titcd solution of Soilgro. . Periodical applications, particularly in times of drought, ll insure permanently green pastures. 1e THE GROWER OF ROOT creoPs - _ SUILGRD gives a much better yield with much finer quality r Seeds :—-Same directions as for vegetables above.
