KEITH'S PLANTS ARE 
VITALIZED 
By “VITALIZED” we do not mean just fertilized. We 
mean a whole chain of operations—that insures the 
highest production possible in plants. For instance: . 
(1) an ideal plant soil found only in small areas in 
Michigan;—Natural plant foods like in virgin soils; (2) 
Special fertilizer in right proportions; (3) Continuous 
cultivation and hoeing; (4) Careful digging and han¬ 
dling of plants, not exposing them to sun and drying 
winds; (S) Hand cleaning, bunching, etc., indoors; (6) : 
A careful and special method of packing plants, roots 
in damp moss surrounded with water-tight wax paper; 
and a 24 hour shipping service. These are some of the 
opportunities that help Vitalized Keith’s plants. 
Now, you can readily understand that plants with this ] 
added “VITALITY” are easier to grow; yield quicker 
larger crops; and over a longer period of time, with 
less care and attention than inferior plants. Plant 
growing is our specialty. Let us serve you with our 
special service with years of experience behind it.
