Feed Your Lawn, Plants and Trees 
Forget Lady Luck . . . Use 
V I G O R O and Be Sure! 
The seed you use, the time you plant, and the method of planting you follow 
are all very important in achieving the beautiful garden you desire. Use our 
high test seeds and plant them right . . . but don't stop there! 
Make sure that the young plants will find ample nourishment when they 
develop feeding roots. 
Scientists have shown that all plants require 11 different food elements from 
the soil if they are to have normal growth and development. That’s why we 
recommend VIGORO for everything you grow. Vigoro, the complete, balanced 
plant food made by Swift, contains every one of these 11 needed elements in 
proper proportion. 
Vigoro is clean, sanitary, and odorless . . . and it’s the most economical plant 
food you can buy! Use it at the rate of 4 pounds per 100 square feet of lawn 
or garden area.
