FERTILIZER 



Should Be Included in 

 Every Order 



No matter how large or small 

 your plantings may be, nor how 

 good your soil, you will get far 

 better results with the use of a com- 

 plete fertilizer. OLD GARDENER 

 is economical and fills every need. 

 Be sure to include it in your order. 



COMPLETE FERTILIZER 



FOR EVERYTHING THAT GROWS 



OLD GARDENER is a complete, quick-acting fertilizer, containing in concentrated 

 form the plant-foods and soil-sweeteners used by professional gardeners and florists. It 

 stimulates all plants into quicker and more vigorous growth, increases production, and 

 sweetens and refreshes the soil. 



OLD GARDENER is particularly effective on lawns, being quick-acting as well as 

 permanently beneficial. In the garden it produces larger, finer crops of vegetables and 

 larger, brighter colored flowers. Being clean and odorless, it is especially adapted for indoor 

 use, and produces amazing results with ferns, pot-plants, and window-laoxes. 



Odorless • Clean • Easy to Use 



There is no need of using coarse, odorous fertilizers on lawns and gardens. OLD 

 GARDENER is absolutely clean and odorless, and contains every element needed for 

 healthy plant-growth — 3 per cent available ammonia, 10 per cent available phosphoric 

 acid, and 4 per cent available potash minimum guaranteed; also contains over 20 per cent 

 of soluble marl lime, making it doubly beneficial as a fertilizer and soil-corrective. 



Comes in Five Convenient Sizes 



OLD GARDENER is put up in tight cans and bags in the following handy sizes: 



1-lb. can $0 25 25-lb. bag $2 00 



10-lb. bag 1 00 50-Ib. bag 3 50 



100-lb. sack $5 50 



On the basis of actual plant-food contained, OLD GARDENER is the cheapest complete fertilizer you can buy 



F. & I. FERTILIZER AND 

 INSECTICIDE 



A combined fertilizer and insecticide for florists, 

 nurserymen, truclcers, and orchardmen. 



The fertilizing elements in "F & I" are in a readily 

 available form and consequently the plants begin to 

 show the benefits of the preparation immediately after 

 application. Because of the rather coarse texture of the 

 compound, its action is extended over a period, giving 

 continuous fertilization to the plants. 



AS AN INSECTICIDE 



"F & I" is an effective insecticide that destroys such 

 pests as rose midge, strawberry beetle, root aphis, etc., 

 and controls green fly, thrip, aphis and all soft-bodied 

 sucking insects. It kills the larvae and prevents the 

 insects from reaching maturity, thus cutting down the 

 need for frequent fumigating. The strong insecticidal 

 action of "F & I" is due to its higli nicotine content 

 and the available condition of the nicotine.
