“VIGORO” FOR GENERAL FERTILIZATION 
IT TAKES 11 FOOD ELEMENTS TO MAKE A 
SQUARE MEAL FOR PLANTS 
This photograph shows four plants taken from a University 
test made to develop visual evidence of what happens when any 
one of the eleven essential elements is lacking in a plant’s diet. 
One was fed all eleven elements; the others were fed ten, the ele¬ 
ment indicated being withheld. Here is proof that it is wise to 
feed Vigoro, the complete plant food made by Swift. Vigoro con¬ 
tains every one of the eleven essential food elements required 
from the soil.
