for lawn and garden beauty 
Give Your Plants a “SQUARE MEAL” 
T O GET a full measure of beauty from your lawn 
and garden you must feed them regularly with 
a complete, balanced plant food. We recom¬ 
mend that you use Vigoro, the complete plant food 
made by Swift. 
Vigoro was the plant food selected for use on the 
Horticultural Exhibition Gardens at A Century of 
Progress in 1933 and 1934. These gardens amazed 
millions of visitors to the Fair with their beauty, 
yet conditions under which they were required to 
grow were extraordinary. It was necessary to make 
these gardens in washed sand, which had been cov¬ 
ered with a thin layer of top soil. Vigoro was 
selected because only a complete plant food could 
assure finest growth. 
VIGORO Is Easy to Use! 
Anyone can have wonderful success with 
Vigoro if they will take three simple steps: 
1. Read the directions enclosed in each 
bag of Vigoro. 
Apply Vigoro evenly, sowing it by hand 
like grass seed, or better, putting it on 
with an efficient Vigoro Spreader. 
3. Immediately after applying to estab¬ 
lished lawns, soak down thoroughly. 
Soaking carries the plant food down 
to the plant roots. When not prac¬ 
tical to water, applications to lawns should be 
followed by a light dragging to shake the plant 
food off the blades. 
Clean, Odorless, Economical 
Vigoro is sanitary and odorless and does not con¬ 
tain weed seeds or refuse which are so objectionable 
to work with. It is especially formulated for use by 
the home gardener supplying lawns, flowers, shrubs, 
trees, and vegetables with the nourishment they 
need for finest growth. It is most economical to use, 
for only four pounds are required to feed properly 
100 square feet of lawn or garden area.
