GARDEN SUPPLIES 
E always have on hand a good selection of the staple necessities 
for the gardener such as fertili2,ers, peat-moss, grass seed, flower 
seeds, spray materials, etc. We are careful to stock only formulas 
and brands which we have found to be most effective. 
About the middle of May we have an extensive collection of 
Annual flower plants on sale for your convenience. We have found that 
it does not pay to set out Annuals much before this date as the soil has 
not become sufficiently warmed for their best development. A careful 
selection of outstanding novelties as well as the dependable old stand-bys 
in Annuals are grown and will be available in strong, potted plants. 
The men at the Garden Department will be more than glad to 
recommend the proper kinds of fertili2;ers and sprays which your con¬ 
ditions call for and also prescribe the best formulas of grass seed for your 
type of soil. Please do not hesitate to bring your garden problems to us. 
We shall always try to help you. 
Fertilizers 
BOVUNG (2^2^2). This is a very good fertilizer for general use. As it does not have 
a very high chemical content it may be used with safety by everyone. 
HICKS HORTICULTURAL FERTILIZER (6'6'3). This is also a splendid all pur¬ 
pose fertilizer. It is especially good for feeding trees, shrubs and flowers. 
BOT^E MEAL. This is the best food for use when planting trees as it lasts for a 
longer time and will not burn the roots. It is also splendid to use with bulbs 
and on the lawn. 
ground limestone* Used to sweeten the soil when too acid. Be sure and 
do not apply it around Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Laurel, etc. 
PEAT MOSS. Splendid for spreading on top of Azalea, Laurel and Rhododendron 
beds to conserve moisture, also may be mixed directly with soil to improve 
its physical character. Helps hold moisture in the soil. 
HUMUS. Rich decayed vegetable matter used to improve the character of sandy 
or starved soils. Valuable to use in building new lawns or improving old ones.
