THE SUPER PLANT-FOOD FOR LAWNS AND FLOWER GARDENS 
5 - 10-4 
Mother Nature, when left to herself, sustained plant-life by returning to the soil, in the form of fallen leaves 
and dead plants, the same elements which the plants drew from it, thereby keeping up a perfect balance so that 
plant-life could carry on indefinitely. 
When man began to drain away the life-supporting elements of the soil by removing the plants for food, he 
partially overcame the loss by crop-rotation and the turning under, or plowing in, of green cover-crops, and this 
went a long way toward keeping up soil-fertility. 
But, within the narrow confines of a garden, crop-rotation and the use of cover-crops is out of the question, 
and a substitute for Nature’s methods is necessary. 
For several years, at Breck’s, we have worked on this problem and at last, in Brexone, we believe—in fact we 
know—that we have a plant-food which returns to the earth, not merely the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash 
of ordinary fertilizer, but all of the elements which plants remove from the soil. 
Brexone has as its base (in place of the usual sand, ground rock, etc.) natural humus from decayed plants which 
lived ages ago, the same material which Nature would have returned to your garden had she been left alone; to 
this humus we have added, in the proper amounts, all of those elements mentioned above that plants require for 
perfect development. 
The results from the use of Brexone have been really marvelous, in fact, so much better than we had hoped for, 
that we have no hesitation in saying that Brexone for lawns and general garden use is the best plant-food obtainable 
today.

Brexone Rose Food—like Brexone—has been produced after 
years of experiment, and exhaustive study into the plant-food 
requirements of the rose. It represents a perfectly balanced com¬ 
bination of the essential and desirable mineral plant-foods that 
roses require for their best development, combined with the 
highest grade of pure humus obtainable anywhere, either in this 
country or abroad. Brexone Rose Food contains no useless filler. 
It has an all-humus base, and it is so compounded that it begins 
to feed the plants immediately upon application, and it continues 
to feed over a long period of time. 5 lbs. 45c; 10 lbs. 85c; 25

Brexone Bulb Food 
(5-8-5) 
The Ideal Food for Bulbs of All Kinds 
Brexone Bulb Food is a powerful stimulant. It combines the 
purest of animal manures with those particular mineral elements 
that bulbous plants require for their finest growth. 
All too often people plant bulbs without giving proper thought 
to the important matter of a plant-food suited to this particular 
group of plants. 
Brexone Bulb Food is ideal for all classes of bulbs at all seasons 
of the year. It is the result of long-time study and if used ac¬ 
cording to instructions it will produce results that are truly 
astonishing. 5 lbs. 45c; 10 lbs. 85c; 25 lbs. $1.75; 50 lbs. $3.00;

Breck’s “FIome-Garden” Fertilizer 
(5-10-10) 
The three most essential plant-food elements in any garden fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, but added to 
these are many lesser elements that are important determining factors in the production of super-quality and bumper crops. Years 
of experience and chemical study lie behind the formula by which Breck’s “Home-Garden” Fertilizer is blended, and we recommend 
it unreservedly for vegetables, flowers, and fruit, for it contains everything that plants require, and in a form that is instantly avail¬ 
able and safe to use. 5-Ib. bag 45c; 10-Ib. bag 85c; 25-Ib. bag $1.45; 50-Ib. bag $2.25; 100-Ib. bag $3.75. Half tons and over at 
rate of $65.00 per ton. 
Mineral Colloids 
A natural true Florida superfine phosphate that comes from 
the earth, and, so far as is known, it occurs nowhere else but in 
Florida. Rich in essential mineral elements, it is non-acid and 
non-burning. It sweetens the soil economically and safely, giving 
larger crops at less cost. Mineral Colloids holds moisture in the 
soil. It hastens the germination of seeds and the maturity of all 
kinds of crops. It can be used on the soil at any time throughout 
the season, either with fertilizers or as a separate application. 
Mineral Colloids will hasten the maturity of fruit or vegetables 
and improve their quality. Descriptive circulars containing more 
detailed information will be furnished on request. Furnished in 
100-Ib. bags only. 100-Ib. bags $2.10 each; 10 bags for $18.50; 
20 bags, or 1 ton, $32.00. (Special prices quoted on carload lots 
of 20 tons delivered at any freight station in New England.) 
Hormodin T % R cZ%S' 
The principal use of Hormodin is to induce new roots on stems, 
leaves, and roots. It is especially valuable for propagating plants 
by cuttings, whether rooted with ease or normally rooted with 
difficulty. Many cuttings formerly impossible to propagate may 
now be rooted with the aid of Hormodin. The use of Hormodin 
saves bench-space, time, labor and money. Its use is simple. 
Place the basal ends of the cuttings in a Hormodin solution of 
recommended strength for a designated period of from 4 to 48 
hours. Thereafter follow the usual methods of handling the cut¬ 
tings in sand. 
Hormodin is furnished in liquid form and used as a diluted water 
solution. The cost is only a fraction of a cent per cutting. Direc¬ 
tions giving full details furnished on request. 20-unit pkg. $1.00; 
60-unit pkg. $2.00; 240-unit pkg. $7.00; 480-unit pkg. $13.00.
