ALL-HUMUS BASE! NO USELESS FILLER!! 
T HE rotation of crops is an age-old doctrine in the maintenance 
of soil-fertility. On large agricultural areas, crop-rotation is, 
of course, the most practical as well as efficient method of soil¬ 
conditioning, and this system, following a cycle as it must, provides a 
green-cover crop for plowing under at regular three- or four-year 
intervals, thus returning to the soil that vitally important texturizing 
and fertilizing material, humus, and supplying in part the necessary 
plant-food for the crops raised. 
Where small areas are concerned, crop-rotation is often difficult. 
In fact, at times and because of circumstances, it is impossible. Lawns 
as well as flower-beds and borders are certainly semi-permanent, if 
not permanent garden features, for they obviously do not lend them¬ 
selves to the practice of crop-rotation. Therefore, a problem exists 
in finding some alternative method of maintaining soil-fertility. What 
is the solution? 
It lies in supplying a complete plant food, representing a correctly 
balanced combination of organic and inorganic substances that can 
be used year after year with safety, and that will give to the growing 
crop in each year of application, everything, and more, that crop-rota¬ 
tion effects in its three- or four-year cycle. 
To have devised such a plant food is little short of a miracle. It 
is, however, with perfect assurance and with no little pride that we 
now introduce to you BREXONE, the perfect plant food for the lawn 
and the flower garden, as well as two other specialized fertilizers, 
Brexone ROSE FOOD and Brexone BULB FOOD.
