All Plants Need Food 
PL4NT0NE 
^/ffaAcs fir mews — 
All plants need food—carefully selected, scientifically pre¬ 
pared. Food that insures green, velvety, weedless lawns, beau¬ 
tiful, luxuriant flowers, healthy, disease-resisting trees and 
shrubs, and earlier maturing, health-giving vegetables. 
Half-starved lawns have a thin growth; often contain yellow 
spots; are frequently infested with dandelions and obnoxious 
weeds. Half-starved vegetables have poor color and quality 
and mature slowly. Half-starved flowers show under-devel¬ 
oped blooms, deficient growth and lack of color. The best 
seeds and plants will not thrive in impoverished soils. But 
deficiencies can be remedied by feeding a plant food scien¬ 
tifically prepared for the particular soil supporting this 
growth. 
PLAN-TONE is not an ordinary by-product fertilizer. It is not 
made from refuse. It is clean, odorless, free from weed seed 
and easy to apply. Notice its high analysis: Nitrogen 4%, 
phosphoric acid 20%, Potash 5%.
