VIGORO 
THE COMPLETE PLANT FOOD! 
G AY, colorful flowers, a rich green lawn, on which 
-children can safely play, are so essential to home 
beauty, and they add so much to the pleasure and 
comfort of the whole family. 
You can have a beautiful lawn and garden easily and 
economically if you use Vigoro to supply the plant food 
they must have. With Vigoro you keep and enjoy the rich 
beauty of your lawn, flowers, shrubs and trees, which, 
without an available supply of plant food, will fail. With 
a small investment in Vigoro you can supply the food your 
plants need, and save the expense of tearing up your lawn 
and garden and starting over again. 
Vigoro, the Square Meal for Plants, supplies in the right 
proportion the plant food elements which must come from 
the soil. You can’t depend on manure and bone meal, 
because they are deficient in plant food value. This year 
get enough Vigoro for everything you grow, and enjoy 
rich lawn and garden beauty.

How to Feed 
New 
Lawns 
Before seeding and any time there¬ 
after during growing season. If al¬ 
ready seeded wait until grass is two 
inches high. 
Before seeding—4 lbs. (2 quarts) per 100 sq. 
ft. (10 ft. x 10 ft.). Young Grass—2 lbs. (1 
quart) per 100 sq. ft. 
Apply evenly by hand or with Spreader. Rake or 
harrow thoroughly into top soil. Young grass—Before 
applying, be sure grass is dry. After applying, brush 
grass with broom or back of rake. If water is avail¬ 
able, soak thoroughly. 
Old 
Lawns 
Just as soon as ground can be worked 
on in the spring—then in middle 
June and again during August. 
Spring feeding—4 lbs. (2 quarts) per 100 sq. 
ft. (10 ft. x 10 ft.). Summer feeding—2 lbs. 
(1 quart) per 100 sq. ft. Fall feeding—4 lbs. 
(2 quarts) per 100 sq. ft. 
Apply evenly by hand or with Vigoro Spreader when 
the grass is dry. Brush Vigoro off the blades with a 
broom or the back of a rake, immediately after apply¬ 
ing. If water is available, soak lawn thoroughly after 
application is completed. 
Flowers 
and 
Vegetables 
Early spring, again in middle June 
and again during August. 
Spring and August feedings—4 lbs. (2 qts.) 
per 100 sq. ft. or 1 level tablespoonful per 
sq. ft. For row or trench, 1 lb. per 25 running 
feet. For June feeding use half these 
amounts. 
Before planting, broadcast evenly by hand or with 
Vigoro Spreader and work lightly into soil. For grow¬ 
ing plants apply around plants, and work lightly 
into soil. 
Shrubs and 
Hedges 
When growth starts. Again in early 
summer, also when transplanting. 
Established Shrubs—4 lbs. (2 quarts) per 100 
sq. ft. (10 ft. x 10 ft.) or 1 level tablespoonful 
per sq. ft. Established Hedges—1 lb. per 25 
running ft. 
Apply under spread of branches and work lightly into 
soil. Hedges: Apply on both sides and work lightly 
into soil. When transplanting mix 4 heaping table¬ 
spoonfuls of Vigoro thoroughly with soil in bottom of 
hole or per 6 running feet of trench, and 2 tablespoon¬ 
fuls in each gallon of soil used in filling. 
Trees 
In early spring or late fall after 
leaves have fallen; also when trans¬ 
planting. 
Established Trees—1 lb. (1 pint) for each 
inch of circumference of trunk; measure 
trunk four feet above ground. In trans¬ 
planting, use half as much. 
With ground auger or crowbar make holes about two 
inches in diameter and eighteen inches deep under 
drip of branches. Put one pound of Vigoro in each 
hole and fill with soil. When transplanting mix one- 
fourth Vigoro required thoroughly with soil in bottom 
of hole and balance with soil used in filling.
