“ENGLISH FORMULA” LAWN AND GARDEN DRESSING 
The 5-lb. carton 
We Believe That We Are The Only Plant Food 
Manufacturers Who Frankly Tell You What We 
Put Into It. But Why Should You Care To 
Bother About This Information? 
Because The Success of Your Garden and the 
Saving To Your Pocketbook Depend Upon It. 
Here is why “English Formula” Lawn and Garden Dressing is different and 
why it is more economical. 
1. For Nitrogen we put into it Cottonseed Meal — the richest, long lasting 
organic we can buy. 
2. Then for Phosphorus, which is a most necessary element to stimulate root 
development, we use Fine European Bone — nobody can think of a more 
practical organic material for this purpose. Certainly none lasts longer. 
3. Wood Ashes are next put in to give a natural organic potash food. More 
quickly available than the previous two organic materials, it also gives a 
slight alkaline action so much needed in New England soils. 
These three expensive, natural, long lasting organic materials plus just 
a few chemicals (to start immediate plant nourishment) produce a 5-7-3 
formula which not only makes a well balanced diet for plants but which 
remain and sustain plant life the entire summer period. 
Chemical plant foods contain none of the last¬ 
ing organic humus building properties that per¬ 
manently enrich your soil with “English Formula. ’ ’ 
This year practice true economy and yet secure 
results by using this natural organic plant food 
that in one application lasts you the growing sea¬ 
son. Please note these reasonable prices which 
are little if any more than chemical products 
that must be renewed every two months.
