Heavenly Blue Ipomea 
Morning Glory 
Culture D or E. See Page 4 
Heavenly Blue Morning 
^1 is a true and rapid climber.. It is especially 
VjlOry desirable on fences because it goes right up, 
to the top and then grows out horizontally to form a 
long, thick mat of green on which are countless bright 
sky-blue flowers. The size of the flower is unusual 
among morning glories, just as is the color. A side-yard 
fence, some distance from the street at the Bradley 
home was covered with this beauty last summer and it 
caused a good many people to come into the yard to see 
what it was and stop to admire it. Equally pleasing on 
trellis, arbor or porch. Pkt. lOc; >4 oz. 35c.

Dear Sirs — 
When disposing of material possessions left after my Mother passed away, I came 
across a can of your Plant Food which I kept and used to feed my St. Paulia, (African Violets). 
They flourished like weeds, with food supplied from that can and blossomed so quickly. 
Since that Plant Food has been exhausted, have tried other things with no success. 
Have about 70 Violets on hand at this time whi'ch 1 had hoped to put on the market soon, 
but they are not growing buds as they should, so am asking you to rush a can as quickly as 
possible.

(Mrs. C. C. Carson of Emporia, Kansas, wrote us, enclosing cash for a can of Watch-em-Grow Plant Food. 
Her letter, printed here by her permission, explains how a chance introduction to Watch-em-Grow proved 
to her satisfaction that it would do what was needed for her plants.)

window ttoxes, it will stand out. Be among the first to 
plant Burgundy. Pkt. 20c. 
New Dwarf French Marigold 
Culture D or E. See Page 4 
This Little beauty is a wonder 
in the garden as well as in the 
house as a cut flower. The flowers are about 1 Yi inches 
across. Center is orange-yellow with deep, tubular 
petals that resemble a Scabiosa and the guard petals 
are a broad setting of velvety maroon. It blooms early 
and late, all the way from June to frost. In our Trial 
Grounds last fall it was actually the last plant hurt by 
the frost about mid-November. This Harmony makes 
a nice variety to plant in front of the taller, larger 
flowered Marigoldst You will certainly like it. Pkt.

You Can Do It Too 
A florist simply must 
make a plant look 
nice or else he cannot sell it. So in his greeenhouse, he 
experiments with plant foods until he finds just the 
right combination to make plants thrive. Mr. Templin 
spent over fifty years in his own greenhouses and made 
a careful study of plant foods. Several years ago he 
began to work with probably the most noted chemist in 
America, to combine these elements into a well bal¬ 
anced plant food which we could supply to our regular 
customers. Watch-em-Grow plant food will help you 
to do well with plants. 
A Little Goes A Long Way com¬ 
mercial Fertilizers must contain among other things, 
these three basic chemicals in some form or another, 
Nitragin, Phosphoric Acid and Potash. But the secret 
of good fertilizer is the proportion of each. In the form 
it is offered to you in Watch-em-Grow, this plant food 
not only has just the right proportions but it is highly 
concentrated, so that a little goes a long way. 
Where Shall I Use It? 
grass to a large tree will be benefited by drinking of this 
food. But indoor plants always have a greater struggle 
to succeed than do outdoor plants and as we hav.e 
nothing but indoor plants for several months each 
year, perhaps the greatest use you will find for Watch- 
em-Grow Plant Food is on the house plants and cut 
flowers indoors. But don’t overlook the use of it on 
your roses, bulbs and shrubs.

as you ordinarily water plants. You will find complete

spoonful in a cup of hot water, pour this into a gallon of 
cool water and you are ready to feed your plants. For 
a plant in a six inch pot, a pint every few days until 
you see a decided improvement, then use every month 
or so. 
Both flowers and vegetables will 
rOr VjaraenS be greatly benefitted if Watch- 
em-Grow in the same solution as recommended for 
house plants is sprinkled over the seeds before they are 
covered. Then, during the growing season, if you have 
any backward plants, treat them just like we suggested 
for house plants. You will notice the difference in a few 
days. 
P I ;*i\A/nc Watch-em-Grow is too expensive to

you have spots in your lawn where it is hard to keep 
the grass green, sprinkle with the solution and you will 
be surprised at the results you will soon see.

plants.
