How To Make Your Garden 

 Thrive and Mature Early 



The kind of plant food required in your soil depends on the kind of a 

 crop you are to raise. In order to make your garden produce its maximum 

 yield at the lowest cost for fertilizer you should supply only those elements 

 which are immediately available and which will be absorbed by the plant. 



For Gardeners, Fruit Growers, Florists and General Use 



Comprise special distinct compositions of plant food elements for vege- 

 tables, small fruits, root crops, flowers, greenhouses, lawns and tree-crops. 

 They supply only the constituents your particular soil needs for some 

 special crop. For example our 



Early-Crop Odorless Fertilizer 



supplies your soil with the four plant food 

 elements in immediately available form needed 

 by vegetables and small fruits for quick growth 

 and early maturity. It is the most effective 

 and convenient fertilizer you can apply for 

 such crops and in the end — the most 

 economical.

 is full of valuable information and is as valuable
