The Bobbink & Atkins ROSE FOOD 
Rose fanciers have asked for it—now, at last, it has been perfected 
After considerable testing, Bobbink & Atkins, for 
thirty-eight years growers of high-quality garden Roses, 
have selected a plant-food composed of the best ma¬ 
terials to make Roses grow to healthy, vigorous plants 
filled with bloom. The analysis of this Rose Food is 
5-9-6, and, having an organic base, it lasts a long time 
in the soil and does not force soft-wood growth, but 
produces heavy, strong wood and a mass of fibrous roots. 
PRICES 
100-lb. bag. 
50-lb. bag. 
25-lb. bag. 
Prices are f.o b. Rutherford, N. J. 
Plants fed with this Rose Food will not only produce 
flowers of larger size and more brilliant coloring, but the 
plants will be stronger, healthier, and have a much greater 
root-system, enabling them to better stand droughts, 
etc. They will also stand a much better chance of going 
through a severe winter than plants which have not 
been fed with this Rose Food. Discontinue feeding after 
August 1, so the canes can harden up for winter.
