and experiment by his father, by himself, and by their head gar¬ 
dener, Mr. F. Townsend. The book is addressed to those who 
have a cool greenhouse, and to those who have not—yet; to the 
owner-gardener, and to the potential greenhouse gardener; to the

unadorned with a glasshouse because they do not realize what 
immense pleasure and beauty it can bestow at a trifling cost. #2.00.

Wayside Gardens Organic Plant Food 
Not a Chemical Fertilizer 
WHAT IT IS. Wayside Gardens Organic Plant Food remains 
available in the soil for a long time, slowly disintegrating. Never 
causes indigestion. It’s a food rich in organic matter that has all the 
merits of the best rotted manures, and still is in a form as easy to 
use as the usual fertilizers. 
HOW TO USE IT. Wayside Gardens Special Food is easy to 
use. The directions are simple. If your garden is an established one, 
apply twice a year, March first and September first. Use 15 to 25 
pounds for top dressing a space of 500 square feet for hardy plants, 
rock plants, roses, annuals and other flowering plants, shrubs and 
bulbs. 
In making a new garden, double the amount and mix with the 
soil. Planting may be done at once. No burning is possible. For 
old lawns use 10 to 25 pounds for top dressing 500 square feet. In 
making new lawns use double the amount and mix with the soil. 
Seeding may be done at once. No burning effect will result. 
For potted plants, a 3-inch potful of the food, mixed with a bushel 
of soil will give you splendid results.

Wedo 
The weed fighting lawn fertilizer that makes grass grow—makes 
weeds go. 
HOW TO ESTIMATE AMOUNT TO USE 
WEDO, because of its very high content of active feeding ele¬ 
ments, does not require the heavy applications specified for ordinary 
fertilizers. Only lj/^ lbs. per 100 square feet (10 ft. x 10 ft.) is 
all you need to do a thorough feeding job.

Sacco 
A standard application of SACCO for either lawn or garden, 
calls for only 2J/2 to 3 pounds per 10 ft. by 10 ft. area. An appli¬ 
cation on such an area costs between 10 to 12 cents (when pur¬ 
chased by the hundred-weight). It is easy, on this basis, to figure 
out the total requirements for your grounds. SACCO may be had 
in convenient sized packages. For greatest economy purchase it in 
the 50-lb. or 100-lb. bags. Packed in strong bags.
