FERTILIZERS AND PLANT FOODS 
CAN ACHIEVE RICH GARDEN BEAUTY! 
You can grow beautiful lawns and flowers 
as pictured in this book. Disappointments 
are most often the result of half-starving or 
improperly feeding your plants. 
Assure success by giving everything you 
grow a square meal of VIGORO. 
VIGORO is different! It is a complete 
plant food that contains all of the elements 
plants must get from the soil instantly ready 
for the plant’s use. Bone meal, manures, 
and sewage supply only one, two or at most 
three elements and these must first be re¬ 
leased for use by decay, a process that’s 
slow in spring when plants need food most. 
YIGORO is economical to use. It costs 
little and goes far—four pounds properly 
feeds 100 square feet of lawn or garden 
area. We recommend YIGORO. 
The picture of the government plant food 
experiment, reproduced on this page, (orig¬ 
inally appeared in Technical Bulletin No. 
340, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture), lets you see why you’ll 
get such wonderful results from VIGORO. 
Grown in cultures, these plants show what 
happens when any one of the necessary ele¬ 
ments is missing in the soil. Plant No. 6 
fed all necessary elements. From each of 
others, one element, as noted, was omitted 
from the culture. This year use clean, odor¬ 
less YIGORO and be sure your plants are 
properly nourished.

RED STEER FERTILIZER MAKES BETTER 
CROPS BECAUSE: 
1. It’s NON¬ 
ACID FORM¬ 
ING — made 
right. It does 
not leave 
harmful acid 
residues in the 
soil nor change 
the pH in the 
root zone. 
2. Con tains 
added Calcium, 
Magnesium and 
other elements 
not included in 
the usual plant food guarantee, but beneficial to crops. 
3. Made from best materials, selected from their crop 
productiveness. 
4. DOUBLE MIXED so that each teaspoonful contains 
a proportionate share of all of the elements in the analy¬ 
sis, permitting even distribution of plant food. 
5. TRIPLE TESTED to assure uniform high quality. 
For large crop yields look for the Certificate of Quality 
which guarantees these plus values in every bag.
