If you are a Beginner in Flower and Vegetable Gardening, our Calender will start you right 

 and keep yozi right. If you are a gardener of experience, you may greatly benefit by having a copy. 



Authoritative instructions and general information (from the pen of Mr. George T. Powell, widely- 

 known Agricultural and Horticultural Expert), are provided at the right time for every working-day 

 of the year, so that important things be not left undone. 



A glance will show how valuable a twelve-month compendium ot this sort must become. Planting- 

 records and results may be kept upon it, and its unique construction makes of the calendar, a reference 

 book of the entire year's work. 



We want to help you start rights and the greatest helps we know are our Garden and Plant- 

 ing Calendar and our 



ODORLESS FERTILIZERS 



Our Fertilizers may be briefly described as being "correctly proportioned combinations (for differ- 

 ent crops) of the essential plant-food elements — (Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash) — all in a 

 soluble form, and held together in a granulated marl -and- fiber base". The grains areas here illustrated. 



Our booklet describing our Early-Crop Odorless Fertilizer, treats the subject broadly, and 

 that description applies also in the main to our other product Mak-Gro Odorless Plant Food 

 which is specially prepared for the smaller operations of the home and garden. We would be glad to 

 send you a free copy. In it will be found a list of Booklets by Mr. Powell, on gardening subjects of 

 general interest, and which are intended for extensive distribution.
