Fertilizers for Lawn and Garden 



Dreer's "Peerless" Rose Food 



Following careful experiments we are prepared to supply a special food that will 

 aid your Roses toward unusual vigor and freedom of bloom. 



"Peerless" Rose Food is a carefully balanced fertilizer prepared with a bone meal 

 base. Other organic as well as mineral elements have been added so that each ap- 

 plication will furnish available food for a good period of time. "Peerless" Rose Food

 of blooms, and substantial root growth will follow its use.
