Scores of Prize Winners Claim 

 "Plantabbs** Made Success Possible 



Remarkable Tablets Promote Luxuriant Foliage and 

 Surprisingly Beautiful Blooms on All Indoor and Outdoor 

 Plants and Flowers. Practically Double Vegetable Yield 



Many times more effective than 



finest fertilizer. Odorless, clean, 



easy to use, inexpensive 



Since Plantabbs were introduced a 

 short time ago hundreds of letters have 

 been received telling how this remark- 

 able little fertilizing tablet has helped 

 folks grow more and better flowers and 

 vegetables. 



At both the Timonium and Marlboro 

 Fairs in 1925 the largest, healthiest and 

 most beautiful fern on exhibition, and 

 as it later turned out, the prize winner, 

 owed its growth exclusively to Plantabbs. 

 Some of the finest vegetables raised in 

 this section, many of the most beautiful 

 dahlias at the Batlimore Dahlia Show 

 and the Maryland Dahlia Show, besides 

 most of the prize-winning potted plants 

 and window boxes in the 1926 Evening 

 Sun — Civic League Garden Contest, were 

 all fed Plantabbs regularly and it is to 

 this odorless plant food that the prize- 

 winners attribute most of their success. 



Many folks who have used the old- 

 fashioned fertilizer for years and do not 

 object to the disagreeable odor or dirt 

 now use Plantabbs simply because Plan- 

 tabbs bring better results than anything 

 they have ever used. Others, particularly 

 housewives who raise lots of potted 

 plants and flowers indoors, use Plantabbs 

 because with them they can keep their 

 plants strong and healthy all winter long. 

 To these people Plantabbs are almost a 

 god-send, because ordinary fertilizers are 

 too objectionable to use indoors and 

 without food their plants would never 

 thrive during cold weather when the 

 house is heated with dry, moistureless 

 furnace heat. 



Plantabbs act quickly because they dis- 

 solve as soon as water reached them. 

 They are effective because each tablet 

 contains at least 11% nitrogen (am- 

 monia), 15% phosphoric acid and 20% 

 potash making them many times more 

 powerful than the most expensive ferti- 

 lizer. They are scientific because each 

 package contains complete directions ex- 

 plaining the exact amount to feed each 

 plant. They are the biggest seller on the 

 market because they do more for plants, 

 flowers and vegetables than you really 

 expect.

Tells How He Won 



First 5 Prizes at 

 Two Dahlia Shows 



Says he had a sickly looking lot'of 

 plants when he started using Plan- 

 tabbs. 



Dahlias, like chrysanthemums, should 

 not have any fertilizer until blooms 

 begin to appear. Then they require a 

 stimulant that acts quickly, that begins 

 to stimulate growth immediately upon 

 being applied. It is weeks before the 

 chemical reaction takes place which 

 makes ordinary fertilizer available to 

 plants but Plantabbs being water sul- 

 uble, promotes growth immediately. 

 Read the experience of Mr. Earl P. 

 LoUer, Carroll Road and Davis Ave. 

 Lane, Baltimore, Md. He writes: 



" My success in winning several first 

 prizes at both the Maryland and Balti- 

 more Dahlia Shows I owe to Plantabbs. 



" My dahlia patch in the latter part 

 of July was a sorry sight, plants were 

 stunted and sickly. I knew if I was to 

 have any flowers, something had to be 

 done quickly, so I bought some Plan- 

 tabbs and used two tablets, broken in 

 half and stuck in the ground around each 

 plant. I then soaked the ground good. 



" In ten days' time plants had started 

 to grow. The dose was then repeated 

 every ten days until the 10th of Septem- 

 ber. 



" From the first of September I have 

 had as good dahlias as I ever raised, 

 blooms averaging 7 inches, and several 

 have gone to 10 inches." 



Winners in Garden 

 Contest Testify 



Many say they never would have 

 won if it hadn't been for Plantabbs. 



Many of the prizes offered in the 

 Evening Sun — Civic League Garden 

 Contest in 1926 were won by those who 

 had used Plantabbs. Among the winners 

 who recommended Plantabbs are Mr. 

 Byrd Van Dyke Peth, 15 Merrymount 

 Road, Roland Park; Mrs. Fred. Rapp, 

 3021 Philadelphia Ave.; Mrs. Emma 

 Amelia Smith, 6 Fair Oaks Ave., Hamil- 

 ton ; Mrs. J. Read, 31 E. Hamilton Ave., 

 and many others. 



Mrs. J. Read, 31 East Hamilton Ave., 

 says: 



" I have been using Plantabbs for 

 about a year in a window box which 

 contained geraniums, wax plants, parlor 

 ivy and wandering jew of both kinds, 

 the plain and colored. I give these little 

 tablets full credit for all my success and 

 am pleased to recommend them to every- 

 one." 



Mrs. Fred. Rapp, 3021 Philadelphia 

 Ave., writes: 



" I have used Plantabbs for a long 

 time and find them the best plant food 

 going. Truthfully I have got more re- 

 sults with one lot of Plantabbs than six 

 of any other. I surely owe the healthful- 

 ness of my plants and garden to these 

 wonderful little tablets." 



Are you watering your plants too 

 much or too little? Do you know 

 what to do when insect pests attack 

 themf Do you know when and how 

 to repot f Can you tell what ails 

 them when they look sickly? Are 

 you able to keep them healthy and 

 growing in winter when the furnace 

 heat is on? These are a few of the 

 many questions which can be an- 

 swered after reading the directions 

 which come with each package of 

 Plantabbs. 



Record Breaking Vegetable Yield; 



Prize Fern Grown on Plantabbs 



Read this statement from Mr. T. R. 

 Fulton, Riderwood, Md., a man who is 

 greatly interested in Plantabbs. In a 

 letter written October 23, 1925, he says: 



" For several years I had a fern which 

 failed to do very well. I took home some 

 Plantabbs one day and after using three 

 or four began to notice a number of new 

 shoots and it soon grew to be a very 

 pretty fern. 



" But last Spring I put it outdoors too 

 soon and it became frostbitten, making 

 it necessary to cut off every frond the 

 first of June. I continued feeding it 



Plantabbs, however, and by September it 

 was prettier than ever and I was so proud 

 of it I entered it at both the Timonium 

 and Marlboro Fairs where it was judged 

 the finest specimen on exhibition and 

 awarded prizes. 



" I also tried Plantabbs on my vege- 

 table garden which grew especially well 

 this year. Tests on tomatoes showed 

 that on the vines I fed Plantabbs the 

 tomatoes were larger and nearly twice as 

 numerous as on the ones that were not 

 fed Plantabbs."
