Outpost “Riant Food 
OUTPOST NURSERIES is offering OUTPOST PLANT 
FOOD, a perfectly blended and balanced formula for feed¬ 
ing trees, plants and lawns. 
Well-rooted manure is primarily organic, but is expensive, 
unpleasant to handle, hard to obtain, often contains a quan¬ 
tity of weed seeds and is deficient in nitrogen, the element 
which makes green growth. Many commercial fertilizers are 
of chemical origin with a high percentage of nitrogen, but 
are deficient in organic matter which is necessary to build 
up the soil physically and feed plants properly over any 
length of time. 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD contains 75 percent organic 
matter and is made of things plants relish,—blood, bone, 
fish, cotton-seed meal, et cetera. All these are not only rich 
in the necessary chemical elements, but are organic, and, as 
they decompose, feed the trees or plants over a period of 
months and add humus to the soil, leaving it in better 
physical condition. There are just enough chemicals added 
to begin feeding the plant immediately and give it the quick 
pick-up it needs. There is not an ounce of waste material 
in a bag.
