Plant Foods for Successful Gardening 
See Inside Rear Cover Also 
All plants grow more luxuriantly when given plenty of plant food during the growing season. Most gardener* 
do not use enough. Broadcast it before seeding. Stir it in around trees, shrubs and other plants during the Sum¬ 
mer. Topdress lawns early in the Spring so the rains can dissolve it for immediate show. Follow with other appli¬ 
cations to secure maximum results. You wouldn’t want just one meal a year, would you ?

WIZARD BRAND MANURES 
Stable Manure is recognized as highly desirable for all 
kinds of crops growing on the farm, in greenhouses, or 
in gardens. With the decline of private stables and the 
removal of dairies to distant suburban districts, barnyard 
manure is practically unavailable to every city and metro¬ 
politan district gardener. For over 25 years we have been 
supplying wide-awake gardeners with Wizard Brand 
Manures, both Cow and Sheep, in convenient form with¬ 
out the objectionable features of ordinary stable manure. 
All Wizard Brand Manures have been heat-treated to 
eliminate moisture and to kill weed seeds of all kinds. 
They are concentrated and contain all the essential humus, 
between 60% and 70% organic matter, at the same time 
being very low in moisture content. This means their plant 
food is quickly available and eagerly sought for by knowing 
gardeners. Valuable also for mulches.
