OUTPOST PUNT FOOD 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD is a perfectly blended and bal¬ 
anced formula for feeding trees, plants and lawns. 
Well-rotted manure is primarily organic, but is expensive, un¬ 
pleasant to handle, hard to obtain, often contains a quantity 
of weed seeds and is deficient in nitrogen, the element 
which makes green growth. Many commercial fertilizers are 
of chemical origin with a high percentage of nitrogen, but 
are deficient in organic matter which is necessary to build 
up the soil physically and feed plants properly over any 
length of time. 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD contains 75 percent organic 
matter and is made of things plants relish,—blood, bone, 
fish, cottonseed meal, et cetera. All these are not only rich 
in the necessary chemical elements, but are organic, and, as 
they decompose, feed the trees or plants over a period of 
months and add humus to the soil, leaving it in better physi¬ 
cal condition. There are just enough chemicals added to 
begin feeding the plant immediately and give it the quick 
pick-up it needs. 
Many states, including Connecticut and New York, require 
that samples of all fertilizers sold in the state, be submitted 
to the state Department of Agriculture for analysis. This 
analysis determines whether or not fertilizers come up to the 
standards claimed by the sellers. Since OUTPOST PLANT 
FOOD was first offered for sale, it has consistently tested 
higher and proved much finer than Outpost Nurseries 
claim it to be. 
Trees, plants, and lawns are bound to do better if fed with 
OUTPOST PLANT FOOD.
