FEED YOUR PLANTS 
FOR RESULTS 
Plant food works marvels in producing the 
best in flowers and vegetables. 
Plants are living things, that’s why they need 
a square meal. Like other forms of life, plants 
breathe, reproduce and require food. There is 
one big difference between plants and other 
living things in that plants cannot pick up and 
go if food is not plentiful in the soil which sup¬ 
ports them. 
Under natural conditions you will only find 
flowers, grass and other vegetation in places 
where the soil is fertile. But, though we love a 
garden with beautiful lawns, flowers, shrubs 
and trees, few of us consider the fertility of 
the soil in determining where to locate our 
homes. The result is that most of the homes 
in cities and towns are surrounded by soil which 
is deficient in many of the elements plants re¬ 
quire for finest growth. Only through proper 
plant feeding can these soils be made to produce 
beautiful gardens.
