BEARMOR . The Modern Plant Food 
Plants being living, growing things, require certain food mate¬ 
rials. Bearmor not only supplies these important essential items 
which are so often lacking in the soil, but supplies them in the 
proper proportions. Thus Bearmor is termed a Balanced Plant Food. 
Vegetable gardens need liberal amounts to produce healthy, rapid 
succulent growth. Flowers also need abundant food in order to in¬ 
sure vigorous, colorful blooms. Proper application of Bearmor will 
keep your lawns in a beautiful state the year around. Instructions 
for application are in every bag.
