How to buy Fertilizers 
A standard garden encyclopedia 
offers this excellent advice: 
"In buying fertilizers the garden¬ 
er will do well to follow the 
practice of the most successful 
commercial growers, namely, to 
confine his selection to standard 
brands that have given satisfac¬ 
tory results over a long period 
of years, and to make his final 
choice upon the basis of the 
actual cost of the plant-food in¬ 
gredients contained rather than 
the prices of the mixtures as a 
whole. Some mixtures which cost 
more than others are actually 
more economical than others 
that cost less, when the contents of 
each are calculated on the basis 
of actual fertilizing ingredients."

A new aid to root-growth 
on your cuttings. 
Every gardener knows the diffi¬

ical available that eliminates all 
this uncertainty. 
This unusual chemical contains 
the growth-substances necessary

growth . . . and with its use, 
even the inexperienced gardener 
is assured a high percentage 
of successfully rooted cuttings. 
This method of stimulating root 
growth makes the propagation 
of many types of plants easy 
. . . and the desired results sure. 
The cost of this new method is 
low; in fact, it pays for itself 
many times over.
