THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANT FOOD 
THE SUCCESS of every horticultural effort is, with few exceptions, directly in 
proportion to the amount of available plant food in the soil cultivated. 
FOR YEARS there have been hit and miss methods on the part of gardeners and 
commercial growers alike in their fertilizing efforts. So surprising is this confusion, 
particularly amongst home gardeners, that we deem it all important to outline the 
following homely but basic knowledge on this essential work: 
FIRST — the element of Nitrogen should be present. This most valuable and ex¬ 
pensive plant food must be assured every plant, as it is the factor in stimulating plant 
vigor and growth. Dark green foilage indicates its presence. 
SECONDLY— Phosphoric Acid is next 
in value, and upon it depends the strength 
of the stalk or stem structure. All cereal 
and grain crops are especially in need of it 
for this reason. 
THIRD — Potash must be present to 
assist strong root development. The more 
natural its form, the quicker plant life be¬ 
comes firmly established. 
REVIEWING, therefore, these three 
plant food requisites, it should be an unfor¬ 
gotten procedure by every gardener to buy 
plant food containing them as a primary 
rule for gardening success. 
“WHAT KIND TO BUY”? you ques¬ 
tion. In this general outline we hesitate to 
narrow its important broad viewpoint by 
naming any one kind of prepared plant food 
product (even our own), but we do insist 
that you buy one made from those materials 
of organic character. 
AN ORGANIC PRODUCT assures 
plant life a steady feeding of the above plant 
food elements over a much longer period of 
time than those of chemical nature, which, 
due to their extreme water solubility, must be frequently renewed. 
AN ORGANIC PLANT FOOD assures your gardening efforts, along with ordinary 
care and cultivation, a better than average success in the final crop outcome which we 
are so anxious to have you attain, especially in conjunction with seeds bearing our name. 
INTRODUCE this quality method of fertilization to your garden this year without 
fail. Look for the name “Organic” on the package to make sure of the lasting value 
which will make you a constant user of it in promoting plant growth.
