Flowering Plants 
Selected Hardy Perennials 
We offer a list of old time favorites that need no introduction. 
The plants have been carefully selected and prepared. 
They can be transplanted in spring as soon a§ the soil can be 
prepared, or put out in the fall at least 30 days before winter sets 
in. It is a great help to give the new plants a light covering of 
leaves, coarse straw, or other mulch, and see that they are well 
moistened to carry them through the winter. 20c each; 3 for 55c; 
10 for $1.75. Shipping weight, 1 plant 1 lb; 3 plants 2 lbs; 10 
plants 3 lbs. Please allow postage if ordered shipped by parcel 
post.

All vegetation draws certain chemical elements from the soil, removing 
nourishment that plants must have to live and thrive. Therefore when 
plants and shrubs grow year after year on the same location certain life- 
giving elements become entirely removed and the plants become starved. 
If you wish your flowers and shrubs to retain their brilliance and splen¬ 
dor, if you wish yyur lawn to grow and retain its velvety appearance, 
these life-giving chemical elements must be replaced; or, in other words, 
the soil must be fed. Vigoro contains the elements so necessary to plant life. 
Beautiful flowers or an attractive lawn cannot grow on a starved soil. Vigoro is a perfect soil con¬ 
ditioner. We recommend it for lawns, flowers, shrubs, and trees, as well as for gardens and vegetable 
crops. It has no objectionable odor and is fine for house and potted plants also. It comes in powdered 
form. Can be spread on the lawn or about flowers and shrubs and worked in with a garden rake. 
Quantity required for lawns—4 lbs. per 100 square feet, applied in early spring; 2 lbs. per 100 square 
feet in midsummer. 
Shrubs, when set quite close together, require about the same quantity as a lawn per 100 square feet. 
Trees require 1 lb. to each one inch in circumference, measured 4 feet above the ground. 
Prices: 12 oz carton 10c; 50c for 5 lb carton; 10 lb carton 85c; $1.50 for 25 lb bag; 50 lb bag $2.50; 
$4.00 for 100 lb bag, not prepaid
