RUSSELL, King Street, p *" mo 41 ■ Pukekohe T1 MANURES THAT RAY Farmers and market gardeners of this country make much less use of artificial manures than do the peoples of some of the European countries, and this is probi ably due to the fact that a bountiful soil, such as we have out here, does not nethe hard work that is required in the more inhospitable Northern European countries. In Europe the conditions of living are such that intense cultivation becomes a necessity, and when a man is forced to secure a living for his family from perhaps an acre of poor ground, lie is naturally forced to a closer study of his soil. Thus, in recent years, great' stridos have been made in the study of artificial manuring, and we are today on the threshold of a new science, and it is beginning to be realised that to make their land pay FARMERS MUST MANURE. From experiments conducted in various countries, it has beon demonstrated conclusively that proper plant feeding produces analagons results to proper animal feeding, and the progressive farmer of to-day is the farmer who is making a study of his land and its requirements, and who is manuring accordingly. In Pukekohe and surrounding districts you have a soil particularly well adapted to the use of fertilizers, and the crops that aie produced through the scientific handling of the soil in these parts has earned tor the district the name of •' The Garden of Auckland." : From our own experience, we would go • further, and say that Pukekohe district is "The Garden of New Zealand," as there is no spot in New Zealand that can - rival it in production, or is better adapted to scientific farming than this district is. We have for years made a speciality of " artificial manures, and, as these have stood the test of public opinion, there is no need to more than draw your attention to the fact that we are again able to ... offer the best quality at the most reason : able prices to onr numerous clients. Our Special Potato Manures contain a percentage of Sulphate of Potash, and, as this is practically unobtainable elsewhere, it makes these mixings particularly valuable at the present time. Owing to the strike in Australia, we have not, unfortunately, been able to get as much Bonedust as we wanted, and, as our bookings for BonedUSt and Potato Manures are already fairlv heav,. we wonld advise you to book well ahead, so as to make certain of securing supplies. Price lists will be forwarded on application, and, as usual, -ve fully guarantee all our lines. We will be pleased to have your enquiries, tut at the same time we tell you candidly that there is every prospect ot a serious shortage in sane lines, pnrticti larly Bonedust and Potash, m l von would be wise, therefore, to deride what vour requirements are an- 1 hnoV . r»n-, order" without df-lay.
