PLANT STIMULANT TABLET 



THE IDEAL YEAR-ROUND FEEDING METHOD 

 FOR ALL PLANTS— INDOORS AND OUT 



Plants in pots, especially when growing vigorously, 

 soon use up the nourishment that is in the soil, there- 

 fore, to keep your potted plants healthy, feed them 

 about every ten days or two weeks and avoid the error 

 of feeding too much at one time. 



EASY TO USE 



Simply insert 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. 30 tablets 

 25 cts. ; 100 tablets, 75 cts. ; 1,000 tablets, $3.50, postpaid. 



Roses need care in the fall when nights are cool and 

 damp. The foliage should be kept free from mildew so 

 the plants will be .vigorous and healthy when winter 

 arrives. Star Rose Dust has been tried, tested, and 

 used by ourselves as the most efficient control known 

 for fungous diseases, such as mildew or black-spot, also 

 for destroying slugs and caterpillars that eat the foliage. 



Apply by shaking through a fine cloth or use the 

 Hand Dust Gun. See next column. 



Fungous diseases spread rapidly in damp weather if 

 neglected. Prevention is always better than cure. Get 

 your supply of Star Rose Dust now and have it on hand 

 to use when needed. Price, 50 cts. per lb. -can, postpaid.
