Texas Best Fertilizers: These are similar to the two fertilizers that we have offered for several years. However, we've made the best even better in both our 24-6-12 high-nitrogen fertilizer for sandy soils and our 24-0-0 lawn and garden food for clay soils that test too high in phosphorus (middle number of the fertilizer analysis). Made to still more rigid specifications, these two granular fertilizers are the best of their kind anywhere in Texas.

Texas Best 20-9-20 Water-Soluble Plant Food: This is what I use in my greenhouse and with all of my container plants. It contains all the necessary trace elements as well. Its nutrients are instantly available for uptake by plants' roots, so you'll see immediate results.

Texas Best 17-7-14 Timed-Release Plant Food: This is an encapsulated fertilizer for slow and continuous feeding for up to 8 months. Use it in flower and vegetable gardens and with container plants of all types. It also contains a micro-element blend. It is a commercial nursery product adapted specifically for use by consumers.

Premium Potting Soil: This is exactly the mix I have used for almost all of my gardening life, with the exception that we've made it even better by adding expanded shale. All of my plants are growing in it (have been for years), and now, yours can, too.

Retailers Carrying Neil Sperry's Texas Best Products: As of Friday, March 19, the following retail outlets have Neil Sperry's Texas Best Fertilizers and Potting Soil. The list will grow, and we will update it regularly.

These products are being distributed by BWI of Carrollton. If you do not see your city listed, ask your nurseryman, hardware store or feed store dealer to contact them to order.
