ecial Wayside Gardens’ 
Plant 
So many visitors coming to see our hardy plants in bloom, and noticing their 
sturdy growth and abundant healthy foliage, were constantly asking us what special 
plant food we used, and where they could get it, that finally we had to do some¬ 
thing about it. 
So we decided to offer to our customers the same plant food we use. It does cost 
more than regular fertilizers. But you are perfectly willing it should, provided you 
can get the fine results with your plants that we do with ours. 
Food 
What It Is 
Bear in mind that this Spe¬ 
cial Plant Food of ours is a 
food and not just a stimu¬ 
lant that crowds the plants, 
causing soft growth, lack¬ 
ing in sturdiness. It’s a food 
that nourishes and invigor¬ 
ates the roots as well as 
the tops over an extended 
period. 
Wayside Gardens Plant 
food remains available in 
the soil for a long time, 
slowly disintegrating. Never 
causes indigestion. It’s a 
food rich in organic matter 
that has all the merits of 
the best of rotted manures, 
and still is in a form as 
easy to use as the usual 
fertilizers. 
Just such a food is Wayside 
Gardens’ Special. The same 
food that has proven so re¬ 
sultful for us in growing 
plenty of strong roots, 
sturdy stalks and an abun¬ 
dance of finely colored 
full sized blooms. 
HowToUselt 
Wayside Gardens Special Food 
is easy to use. The directions 
are simple. The same as we 
follow. If your garden is an 
established one, apply twice a 
year, March first and Septem¬ 
ber first. Use 15 to 25 pounds 
for top dressing a space of 500 
square feet for hardy plants, 
rock plants, roses, annuals and 
other flowering plants, shrubs, 
and bulbs. 
In making a new garden, double the 
amount and mix with the soil. Plant' 
ing may be done at once. No burning 
is possible. For old lawns use 10 to 
25 pounds for top dressing 500 square 
feet. In making new lawns use double 
the amount and mix with the soil. 
Seeding may be done at once. No 
burning effect will result. 
For potted plants, a 3'inch pot full 
of the food, mixed with a bushel of 
soil will give you splendid results. 
10 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $4.00; 100 
lbs., $7.00; 500 lbs., $25.00; 2000 
lbs., $90.00.

For Hardy Borders 
Flardy border plants in order to give you vigorous roots 
and sturdy, self-supporting stalks carrying abundant blooms, 
must have a constantly available supply of food such as 
Wayside’s. Quick, over-stimulated growth gives plenty of 
foliage that causes weak stalks requiring stakes for support.
