The instructions here given , on this 

 April date of our GARDEN AND 

 PLANTING CALENDAR, show how 

 we aim to supply authoritative information 

 (from the pen of Mr. George T. Powell), 

 always on the right day, so that it will not 

 be overlooked, and for 365 days of the 

 year. THINK WHAT THIS MEANS 

 TO YOU. With an order for a 5-lb. bag 

 of MAK-GRO ODORLESS PLANT FOOD at $1.00 or 

 with a 100-lb. bag of EARLY-CROP ODORLESS FER- 

 TILIZER at $3,75, we will be glad to send you a copy of 

 this tuiique and artistic Calendar. 



-Saturate part of a clean Blotter with ink — Let it dry 

 thoroughly — Pour water on it Notice how the dry ink 

 re-dissolves and runs into the freshly moistened fibers 

 of the still clean part of the blotter. This will suggest 

 how, in like manner, the grains of our EARLY-CROP 



ODORLESS FERTILIZER 



(and of our MAK-GRO ODORLESS PLANT FOOD), when mixed with 

 the soil, are acted upon by the rains and the soil-moisture, releasing from 

 time to time, from the fibre base of the compound, a quantity of immed- 

 iately available Nitrogen, Phosphoric A cid and Potash, so that plants are 

 supplied uninterruptedly throughout the entire growing season, with the 

 food required for their proper growth and good crop-development. 

 We want to send you our Descriptive Booklet on the subject, so that, 

 being convinced of the value of 

 our product, you will be pre- 

 pared to try it out in your Garden 

 and Planting Operations this 

 year. Foe all growing things. 

 Among the dozen ormore Book- 

 lets by Mr. George T. Powell on 

 Gardening and kindred sub- 

 jects, which we have under way, 

 intended for extensive distribu- 

 tion, may be several you might 

 want. Send for the list.

 clumps of them. Engravings of plantings, like the one shown above, are 

 added to suggest landscape effects that you may duplicate at little cost. 

 The most noteworthy varieties in every section are described in details 

 making selection easy. To aid the amateur still further, an "introductory 

 colle tion" is offered. This book will (>e sent gladly to any one ivho con-
