OUTPOST PLANT FOOD is a perfectly blended and balanced 
formula for feeding trees, plants and lawns. 
Well-rotted manure is primarily organic, but is expensive, un¬ 
pleasant to handle, hard to obtain, often contains a quantity of 
weed seeds and is deficient in nitrogen, the element which makes 
green growth. Many commercial fertilizers are of chemical origin 
with a high percentage of nitrogen, but are deficient in organic 
matter which is necessary to build up the soil physically and feed 
plants properly over any length of time. 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD contains 75 percent organic matter 
and is made of things plants relish,-—blood, bone, fish, cotton¬ 
seed meal, et cetera. All these are not only rich in the necessary 
chemical elements, but are organic, and, as they decompose, feed 
the trees or plants over a period of months and add humus to the 
soil, leaving it in better physical condition. There are just enough 
chemicals added to begin feeding the plant immediately and 
give it the quick pick-up it needs. 
Many states, including Connecticut and New York, require that 
samples of all fertilizers sold in the state, be submitted to the 
state Department of Agriculture for analysis. This analysis deter¬ 
mines whether or not fertilizers come up to the standards claimed 
by the sellers. Since OUTPOST PLANT FOOD was first offered 
for sale, it has consistently tested higher and proved much finer 
than Outpost Nurseries claim it to be. 
Trees, plants, and lawns are bound to do better if fed with 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD.
