Springfield Carnation Food 



FOREWORD 



In offering this carnation food to the wholesale growers 

 and amateur floriculturists, we do so with the conviction 

 that you will find in its use the same gratifying results 

 obtaining in our own greenhouses. 



Co-operating with the American Chemical Specialties 

 Co., Inc., of Elizabeth, N. J., we combined the thorough 

 scientific knowledge of the exacting chemists with our 

 own wide practical experience in perfecting a food that 

 would meet the requirements of carnations in every detail. 

 After exhaustive experiments we offer this carnation food 

 to you, not as the usual fertilizer, but rather as the ultra 

 finished plant food adapted essentially for carnations. 



Springfield carnation food is a compound in which the 

 elements of fertility are so blended that a portion of the 

 plant foods are presented to the roots in soluble form, 

 ready for immediate assimilation; others are less quickly 

 available, the various organic constituents becoming grad- 



ually available as the soil bacteria convert them to an 

 available condition. 



This carnation food is not a chemical stimulant, but 

 rather an evenly balanced, ideal organic diet. It invigo- 

 rates the root action, and produces a natural growth, not 

 a soft, fleshy one; hence the stem and calyx are strength- 

 ened in all seasons, the lasting quality of the flowers 

 lengthened and the color intensified. 



It is essentially a food of health, vitality and productive- 

 ness.
