VIGORO 
CLEAN, ODORLESS, EASY TO APPLY 
Enjoy Better Lawns, Flowers and Gardens by Using Vigoro 
There is no secret in having a velvety lawn, colorful flowers, crisp, succulent 
vegetables, luxuriant shrubbery, and stately trees. 
You can enjoy these beauties of nature if you use good seed, plants, bulbs, and 
the right plantfood. The right plantfood is important becausd plants must be fed 
the same as human beings. 
VIGORO provides an economical, practical, and effective way to secure finest 
results. Economical because the cost is only 10c to 20c for every 100 square feet. 
Practical because it is clean, odorless, easy to apply—can be sown by hand like 
grass seed or applied with an ordinary kitchen colander. Effective because it 
contains all of the elements of plantfood required to produce early, vigorous growth, 
and bring fruit, flowers, and foliage to full development. 
Complete directions for applying VIGORO for all plants are contained in every 
bag. VIGORO should be used at the rate of four pounds per 100 square feet (10 ft. 
x 10 ft.) in the spring and fall. Use one-half this amount for summer feeding. 
Using this as a basis, the amount of VIGORO needed for large areas such as 
parks, large estates and cemeteries can be easily calculated. 
Many years of extensive research work and actual growing tests have been 
devoted by Swift & Company’s horticultural experts to the development of a product 
containing the right kind and amount of plant food necessary to produce the best 
flowers. As a result of that work, VIGORO, the scientifically prepared plant 
food has been developed. Prices 5 lbs. 50c; 25 lbs. $1.60; 100 lbs. $4.50.
