Improving the Quality, Increasing the
Quantity of Tobacco Crops
The ambition of every tobacco planter is to secure the
largest possible crop of the best possible quality and this
is most surely, easily, and quickly accomplished by the use of
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
As a rule the more liberal the amount of these fertilizers used per
acre, the better the results. Mr. John F. Cunningham of Cunningham,
N. C, probably one of the largest tobacco growers in the world, says :
I have been using your fertilizer for twenty years. I have sold
tobacco made by this fertilizer as high as 90c a lb. Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer is used by the best tobacco farmers in the Tobacco States.
It stands upon its merits. There is no better fertilizer made or used
in the United States. I take great pleasure' in recommending it not
only to the farmers of Virginia and North and South Carolina, but to
all the tobacco growers in the Union."
The best results are invariably obtained with the use of
"Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer. Over one million tons were sold
last year.
Be sure and get the 1009 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Book
from your fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office and a
eppy will be sent free.
