Plan Your Wild 
Garden 
During the Summer Months 
Y OU will save time, trou¬ 
ble and expense by 
getting everything ready for 
Fall planting before Sep¬ 
tember first. A good time 
to start is right now. 
Decide where you will lo¬ 
cate your Wild-Flower 
Sanctuary or rock garden, 
or bog garden. Clean out 
the dead wood, brambles 
and rubbish. Note what 
ferns and flowering plants 
grow on or near your place 
now. Send for our unusual 
Catalogue. It will tell you 
of other beautiful, easily- 
grown things you should 
have. Put your problems 
up to us. Don’t hesitate to 
write me and ask for 
advice. It will be given 
promptly and without 
charge.

Your address on a postal unit bring you a very helpful 
general catalog. Special Fall catalog ready in a few weeks. 
If you want to plant that which you 
will not need to replace next season—get 
it from us. We have it because we grozv 
it. While we boast not the greatest acre¬ 
age, we offer a variety of species second 
to none. 
Quantities? Yes, in many species; and 
a range of sizes from one foot to thirty. 
However, like most specialists, we have 
but few of some choice varieties. That 
is why you should plan now and order 
early. Shipment will be made at the 
correct time for planting. 
We carry over 70 evergreens 
alone, together with a complete line of 
deciduous trees, flowering shrubs and per¬ 
ennials. 
Four years ago a client purchased $8,000 
worth of Rosedale Trees. They grew—all but 
three. This year, even in the midst of gen¬ 
eral business depression, that same client placed 
another order even greater than his first. 
Let some of the famous Rosedale Roots be¬ 
come firmly settled in your grounds this fall. 
The new vigorous plants already established, will 
start with the earliest spring time and prove 
to you, as they have already proved to many, 
the sterling merits of our methods.

Make Your Garden 
A Wonder Garden 
It’s easy. Market growers 
know the secret. Follow it and 
you will have the largest crops of 
fruits and vegetables, an abund¬ 
ance of the biggest and sweetest 
scented flowers of the most in¬ 
tense and vivid colors. 
Here is the secret: 
The better grades of commercial 
fertilizers contain only 3 to 5 per cent. 
Nitrogen, 6 to 10 per cent. Phosphoric 
Acid and 3 to 5 per cent. Potash, com¬ 
bined in material that has no fertiliz¬ 
ing value, but makes weight and an 
odor of the full 100 per cent, quality. 
Science has produced a tablet that is 
rich in plant food, containing 11 per 
cent. Nitrogen, 12 per cent. Phos¬ 
phoric Acid and 15 per cent. Potash 
and it is odorless and clean. 
Four tablets dissolved in a gallon of 
water is used in place of liquid ma¬ 
nure and is less trouble and gives bet¬ 
ter results than the objectionable 
manure water. Be careful not to get 
the solution on the plants or foliage. 
Three or four tablets (one every 
ten days) placed in the hills with a 
dibble makes Cucumbers, Squash and 
Melons fairly jump, also Climbing 
Ornamental Plants. 
In hills, other than vines, use one 
tablet to each hill. 
For crops in drills, use 1 tablet to 
each foot of row. 
In Flower Beds and Borders, place 
tablets one foot apart. 
Brush Fruits and Shrubbery, use 
three to five tablets, placed in the soil 
with a dibble about each plant. 
Fruit or Ornamental Trees, place 
tablets two feet apart and extending 
out from the trunk, as far as the 
longest branches. 
Good also for cold frames, hotbeds, 
greenhouse benches and pot plants. 
Each tablet contains highly concen¬ 
trated, immediately available plant 
food and enables the grower to con¬ 
trol the development of plants. They 
increase production, heighten color 
and improve quality. Their use is 
highly profitable. 
The name of the tablet is Stim-U- 
PlanT. No matter how fertile the 
soil, Stim-U-PlanT is effective in 
feeding and forwarding crops. Mar¬ 
ket Gardeners all over are ordering in 
large quantities. Order by name— 
there is no substitute. 
Perennial beds will be immediately 
benefited by the use of Stim-U-PlanT 
and next year they will be better than 
ever before. Perennial plants must 
make strong growth this year to be at 
their best next season. 
Fertilizer used now will benefit this 
season’s crops and will improve the 
soil for next year. 
Stim-U-PlanT should be placed one 
foot apart when making beds of 
Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocus and other 
bulbs in the autumn. 
Large sums are expended for fine 
bulbs which are planted without con¬ 
sidering the importance of the right 
fertilizer for the perfection of bloom 
to which the planter is entitled. Insure 
the height of perfection by using 
Stim-U-PlanT. Order sufficient to use 
in your bulb beds. Each tablet is pro¬ 
tected and keeps indefinitely. 
Price delivered: 
100 tablets, 75 cts.; 1,000 tablets, 
$3.50. The same results with ordinary 
fertilizers would cost double and more.
