Soil Fertility 

 Is All Important 



Bumper crops of vegetables depend 

 primarily upon soil condition and 

 soil fertility. We highly recommend 

 the use of a complete, balanced plant 

 food or fertilizer to make sure that 

 the plants are well supplied with all 

 elements essential to vigorous growth 

 and heavy bearing.
