Contents include: “Requirements For Plant Growth”, “Nitrogeneous Fertilizer Materials”, “Phosphatic Fertilizer Materials”, “Potash Fertilizer Materials”, “Effects Of Fertilizers On”, “Crops And Soils”, “Factory-Mixed Fertilizers”, “Home-Mixing Of Fertilizers”, “Purchase And Use Of Fertilizers”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
