Our *Plant= and ‘Rjase=Foods 
W E would cull your attention to these truly meritorious articles. They are first-class 
foods, especially prepared for the plants they are intended for. The Hose-food is 
the same as we use in the cultivation of roses, and our patrons can use it with the 
utmost confidence. We do not use any other manures in growing roses. The food 
contains just the requirements for making strong growth and producing large flowers. We 
use tons of this preparation each season, and, while we have the richest soil naturally, this 
food gives the plants in the field a rich, heavy g ro\vtk»-4h»t.,t h ey would not get from the 
mother-soil, and in the growing of plants in pots we can double the size in the same length 
of time. We produce a larger plant in three months than is generally grown in six months. 
Plants that we propagate in December are plenty large for planting in April; and they have 
the health and vigor that make their success a foregone conclusion. It will pay you to try 
this food. The extracts from letters from those who have used this food will be as good a 
testimony as we can offer. Read them on bottom of page. 
The Plant-food is a mixture different from the rose-food, and is especially prepared for 
the general class of bedding and pot-plants, such as begonias, ferns, palms, and in fact all 
plants. It is not as strong as the rose-food, and will not hurt any plant. If the directions 
are followed it will build up the puniest specimen to a good, healthy growth, and will produce 
blooms in abundance. The many testimonials we have received the past season are ample 
proof that this food gives the best of satisfaction. The food is put up in good-sized packages, 
and full directions for its use are printed on each package. We trust you will try these foods 
the coming season, for we know you will be well pleased with the results, but be sure and 
follow the printed instructions on back of each package, and use at regular intervals. Don’t 
use once a week, and then once a month, but use as directed, and you will be well repaid for 
your efforts. 
PRICES OF PLANT-FOOD AND ROSE-FOOD are the same, namely, single box 25c.; five 
boxes for $1, or 12 boxes for $2, by express. If to go by mail, add 10c. to each box for postage. 
What Others Say About Our Plant= and Rosewoods 
Ashdown, Auk., Sept. 5, 1902. 
Enclosed find one dollar, for which please send me 
the amount in Rose-food. That I got from you 
last season has given me the best of satisfaction. 
This is the first plant-food 1 ever bought that 
was any good. 1 could see the results the moment 
I commenced its use, and I shall continue its use 
from now on. Wm. D. H . 
Little Rock, Ark., May 22, 1902. 
Gentlemen: The Rose- and Plant-foods we pur- 
chased from you last season have given us such 
good satisfaction that we do not know how to get 
along without it. You may send me a half dozen 
of each, and also the small order of plants which 
my sister has solectcd. Grey D. T . 
Grape land, Texas, Oct. i, 1908.. 
Gentlemen : Please find herein an order for field - 
grown roses; also an order for Rose-food. If I am 
entft'ed to any premium, send Plant food. If it is 
as good as the Rose Food it is worth having. Mrs. 
Fi. says she would as soon think of keeping house 
without a husband as to be without your Rose- 
food: and that is pretty strong argument in favor 
of Rose-food, don’t you think ? 
Clayton G. H . 
Springfield, Mo., July 28, 1902. 
Gentlemen: Last May 1 sent you an order for 
roses, geraniums, and Plant- and Rose-foods. To 
say that I am more than delighted is putting it 
mildly. I have the finest lot of geraniums in this 
city, and all of my friends are begging cuttings, 
and if it was not for the liberal use of your Plant 
Food, I surely could not keep up the supply. I shall 
need some more roses this fall, and will then add 
an order for the Plant-foods. I send herein a floret 
of one of my single geraniums, that you may judge 
of the quality of blooms I am getting. 
Mrs. Henry S . 
Texarkana, Texas, Sept. 24, 1908. 
Gentlemen: The Plant-food has been such a help 
to us that we want more. You may send us one 
dozen each of Plant- and Rose food. We have 
never tried the latter, but wish to do so. This is 
not all for us, but part for a friend who wishes to 
try it. We shall want a nice order of plants in the 
spring. Please send me several of your next cata- 
logues. I think I can place them to your advantage. 
Mrs. Dora N. VanG . 
Austin, Tex., June 22, 1902. 
Gentlemen : We feel so well pleased with the Rose- 
and Plant- foods that we got from you with our 
order for plants some months ago, that we feel it 
our duty to inform you that we are more than 
pleased with the results of their use, and when we 
run out we shall call on you for more. They are 
surely all and more than you claim for them. Our 
plants never looked as tine as they do now. 
Miss Kate F and Sister. 
Belton, Texas, May 26, 1902. 
Gentlemen : I send you herein an order for a few 
more plants. Also one-dozen each of Plant- and 
Rose-foods. We are stuck on these. They give 
us the best of results, and it takes so little of it to 
answer the purpose. We find that a little often is 
better than big doses not so often. We could not 
get along without the foods. 
Mrs. Warren H. L . 
Laredo. Tex.. June 22. 1902. 
Gentlemen: Please find check for more Rose- 
food. You will break me up, but can't help it: 
got to have it ; best half says she will have it, and 
you know what that means. She is going after 
prizes this fall. She got them Inst fall, and has to 
have them this. Rose-food gets them.
