Feed Everything You Grow 
with this complete, 
balanced diet 
V'GORO 
Complete plant food 
To grow the finest of vegetables, the most beauti¬ 
ful flowers, and have the greenest of lawns, we must 
supply all of the elements needed by the plants. 
Ordinary commercial fertilizers contain but three 
elements, whereas there are about fourteen used by 
the plant. Vigoro is a scientifically prepared fer¬ 
tilizer containing all of the elements needed by 
plants. Thus it can be used in much smaller quanti¬ 
ties and will give far better results than stable 
manure or ordinary fertilizers. Owing to the bal¬ 
anced ration supplied in Vigoro the flowers are 
more beautiful and healthy, the vegetables produce 
finer specimens and ripen to perfection, the lawn 
stays green and does not die out, and the shrubs 
thrive and prove a joy to the owner. Vigoro is 
essentially a fertilizer for the gardener who wants 
to grow the best. It may cost a little more per 
hundred pounds, but it contains more plant food, 
so does not have to be used so heavily as ordinary 
fertilizers and in the end Vigoro is the cheapest 
fertilizer you can get.

Turnips 
Turnip seed may be sowed in the early spring or 
fall. The soil should be very rich, well pulverized, 
and the seed should not be covered more than one- 
half inch deep. It is better to sow just after a 
good rain when the soil has sufficient moisture in 
it to assure germination. Use one ounce of seed to 
every one hundred square feet or three to five 
pounds per acre.
