THE NEW PLANT FOOD 



Everybody having plants in the house, garden or con- 

 servatory desires them to be at their best— healthy and 

 vigorous, abundant in bloom and foliage. qWith the 

 knowledge gained by our thirty years' experience in 

 manufacturing Fertilizers, we have prepared in "Watch- 

 em-grow" a combination of plant food elements, mixed 

 with the necessary chemicals, in proper proportions, and 

 in the best forms, to give the maximum results. It is 

 odorless and easily applied. qXhat you may test the 

 merits of "Watch-em-grow," we will send on receipt of 

 ten cents, to any address in Canada, a package, 

 postpaid, containing a sufficient quantity to fertilize . 

 eighteen to twenty plants for two months. Prices 

 for larger quantities quoted on application.
