AGRICO* LOCKS N-P-K
INTO EVERY PELLET
AGRICO Won't Separate—
You Get Even Distribution.
Agrico is chemically mixed
—every pellet contains the
same amount of N-P-K, Sec
ondary and Micro-nutrients.
These elements can’t possibly
separate in shipping and han
dling—because they are ail'
bound together in each pellet.
You get more uniform, more
efficient distribution of plant
foods over every inch of your
fields ... for thicker, more
uniform growth; for better
yields and higher income.
AGRICO Mixed Fertilizers
are a giant step on the Critical
Path to Farm Profit. Get more
