City. State. Airplane view of The Summers Fertilizer Co.’s plant at Canton, Baltimore, Md. ‘ ‘ Two Blades of Grass W here One Grew B”

Synthetic Plant Food now accomplishes this throughout the world. Huge modern plants extract Nitrogen from the air and Hydrogen from the rivers. Chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering combine them into Water Soluble Ammonia. From the four corners of the World other elements necessary to the scientific blending of Synthetic Plant Food are obtained. The past ten years have seen phenomenal strides in this basic industry—so basic that without it we would all soon starve. As the human system requires balanced food rations o f Protein, Fats and Carbohydrates, so does every crop require a balanced food ration of Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash. Each crop, soil and climate needs different combinations based upon exact chemical blends. The days of “ A little Bone and Sulphuric Acid” are as obsolete as the horse and buggy. “THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD IS INCREASING AT THE RATE OF TWENTY-FIVE MIL­ LION E V E R Y Y E A R .” They must eat. The most fertile fields of the world have been tilled for generations. New fields, subject to economical operation, are no more. The old must feed the new, through the application of Synthetic Plant Food.

The SUM M ERS F E R T IL IZE R C O M PA N Y is justly proud of the substantial part it takes in producing these “Two Blades.” Located at Baltimore, Maryland, the fertilizer center of the World, it manufactures under expert sci­ entific supervision, and in the most modern plants yet erected in this country, Quality Fertilizers so blended as to meet the most exacting demands of the various crops, soils and climates throughout the World. Whether you operate a sugar plantation in Porto Rico, grow pineapples in Hawaii, tobacco in Cuba, rice in China, farm in North America, have a suburban garden, lawn or flower bed—you have SOME interest in Fertilizer. W e are ever ready to further this interest by giving you correct information upon request. Address all communications to
