Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen (commonly called Ammonia) and Potash are three neces
sary elements required fbr every crop. Of these three elements, AMMONIA IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT AND THE MOST DIFFICULT TO SECURE IN A FULLY

Ammonia is derived from Animal, Vegetable or Mineral sources, but Agricul
tural Colleges and farmers agree that ANIMAL AMMONIATES DERIVED FROM
FISH MAKE THE BEST PLANT FOOD KNOWN.
The Fisheries Products Company are the largest producers of Fish Scrap Am
moniates in the world and manufacture a pure Fish Fertilizer in connection with
other Fish Products.
Fish scrap is actually worth more than double the market value of other Organic
or Mineral Ammoniates. On this basis, the various brands of our famous FISCO
Fertilizers are actualy worth from $5.00 to $15.00 per ton more than other makes of
fertilizers having the same analysis. This is the reason thousands of Southern farm
ers aire able to testify THEY USE ONE-THIRD LESS OF THE FAMOUS FISCO FER
TILIZERS and at the same time INCREASE THEIR CROP YILED FROM 50 TO 100
PER CENT. .
