PLANT STIMULANT TABLET 
An All-the-Year Fertilizer for 
Garden and House Plants 
Growers of fine flowers, shrubs and vegetables for the 
best markets and for exhibition, fertilize and stimulate 
them frequently, a little at a time. An excellent fertilizer 
for this purpose is Stim-U-planT, an odorless, highly 
concentrated plant-food, in tablet form, with guaranteed 
chemical analysis of 11 per cent nitrogen, 12 per cent 
phosphoric acid, 15 per cent potash. The proportions 
are accurate, there is no wasted filler, and in this form 
you apply plant-food exactly when and where and as 
needed.

amateur growers use them extensively all the year round 
—from early spring until late fall outdoors, during the 
winter for pot plants, hot-house benches, etc. They are 
as fine for evergreens and other trees as for all garden 
and potted plants. 
Easy to Use 
Simply insert tablets in soil near plants, or dissolve in 
water at the rate of four tablets to the gallon and apply 
as liquid manure. Complete directions with every 
package.
