When you “plow-down”
see me for
ORTHO UNIPEL
HIGH-ANALYSIS FERTILIZER
It doesn’t make sense to fertilize hit or miss when you “plow-down.”
This is an important time, and,what you put into the soil now may
make all the difference in your crop when you harvest. That’s why
we recommend an ORTHO Program using High-Analysis Fertilizers
the famous UNIPEL Pellets
We have a wide range of analyses so we can help you choose the
right one for your soil, your crop. When you plow-down with OR
THO UNIPEL Fertilizer, you get more “grow power” per pound and
higher returns per dollar invested,
If you haven’t been using a fertilizer when you “plow-down,” you’ll
want to hear the success other growers around here have had. Come
in now and let’s talk about your crop and what an ORTHO
High-Analysis Fertilizer Program can do for
your profit picture,
