DOES SHUR•GAIN FERTILIZER SPREAD. BETTER?
At a quick glance SHUR-GAIN SeleCted-Granulated Fertilizer may look very much
like most other' kinds of granular fertilizers—but there is an important difference.
Most ordinary fertilizers and practically all custom blended ones consist of a dry
mixture of fertilizer materials either in powder or, granular form.
As a result the different ingredients vary in size and weight. You can compare
it to a handful of ping-pong balls, mixed with marbles. If you throw out a handful
of these, the heavier marbles will travel farther than the ping-pong balls—and that
is exactly what happens with" ordinary fertilizers.
Every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer contains the guaranteed
plant food elements in the right proportion.
When you spread your fertilizer, with a drill or even more important, with any
broadcast-type spreader you can be sure that every particle (from the smallest to
the largest) of free-running SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer is nutritionally
balanced no matter where it lies,assuring you of complete and even intake of all
the plant food by your cropt. There are no excesses in one area and starvation in
another with. SHUR-GAIN.
Another good reason why you can be confident of top returns from SHUR-GAIN—
the finest fertilizer for your good earth!
