Plant Foods for Successful Gardening 
5-8-7 FERTILIZER 
All plants grow better when given plenty of food 
throughout the growing season. Most gardeners do 
not use enough. Broadcast it before seeding. Stir it in 
around growing plants during the Summer. We like 
to recommend 5-8-7 Fertilizer as a high grade, general 
purpose plant food that can be depended upon for re¬ 
sults. More 5-8-7 is sold annually in Massachusetts 
than any other grade of chemical fertilizer. Its use is 
endorsed by state authorities and gardeners everywhere. 
It contains all the elements essential to quick growth, 
productiveness, and quality. Valuable alike for vege¬ 
tables, flowers, fruits and grass. Moderate in price, too. 
Analysis: Nitrogen, 5%, available phosphoric acid, 8%; 
potash, 7%.

burning. Splendid for lawns, too.

WIZARD BRAND MANURES 
Stable manure is recognized as highly desirable for all 
kinds of crops growing on the farm, in greenhouses, or 
in gardens. vVith the decline of private stables and the 
removal of dairies to distant suburban districts, barn¬ 
yard manure is practically unavailable to every city 
and metropolitan district gardener. For over 25 years 
we have been supplying wide-awake gardeners with 
Wizard Brand Manures, both Cow and Sheep, in con¬ 
venient form without the objectionable features of 
ordinary stable manure. All Wizard Brand Manures 
have been heat-treated to eliminate moisture and to kill 
weed seeds of all kinds. They are concentrated and 
contain all the essential humus. Their plant food is 
quickly available and eagerly sought for by knowing 
gardeners. Valuable also for mulches.

Read instructions carefully 
Vert is rich in the most expensive (and at the same 
time most valuable to plants) fertilizing elements—5 per 
cent nitrogen that develops bright green foliage rapidly 
and in abundance; 8 per cent phosphoric acid that stim¬ 
ulates quick root growth and promotes early maturity; 
6 per cent potash for plump, ripe fruits, seeds and tubers. 
Broadcast Vert on your lawn and water promptly 
with a hose and you will be surprised at how quickly 
the grass responds. 
Stir Vert in carefully under seeds and you will be 
astonished at the speed your flowers and vegetables 
develop. 
Feed Vert to trees and shrubs; you will marvel at 
their improved luxuriance. 
Follow the early Spring applications with others at 
intervals during the Summer to secure the maximum of 
results—you wouldn’t want but one meal a year, would 
you?
