Contains no fillers or useless bulk. One of the finest organic plant 
foods obtainable. Made from an Old English formula. For BULBS, 
LAWNS, and FLOWER GARDENS. 
A n English gardener in charge of one of 
that country’s finest estates, once said to 
us about their lawns: “We do not treat 
our lawns like a hayfield, but like a permanent 
garden.” When questioned more closely, he told 
us about his objection to chemical fertih 2 ;ers for 
lawns or permanent gardens, claiming that it was 
not the quantity of grass that was cut off a lawn 
each week, but what really matters is the density 
and health of the grass plants which make a 
carpet'like turf. “Chemical fertilizers are fine for 
farmers who want to grow hay,” he said, “but 
the man who wants a real lawn better use a 
properly balanced organic plant food.” 
Another bit of information was his advice on 
fall fertilization. Apply organic plant food in 
October or November he advises. During the 
winter and early spring all nutriments sink 
deeply into the soil for the grass or plant roots 
to go after. That’s also where the moisture is. 
Avoid watering so much in summer he said. 
If you use chemical fertilizers, watering must be 
done to prevent burning. 
Because organic plant food disintegrates 
slowly, it is excellent to use in bulb plantings 
as well as in Rose beds, or Hardy Plant borders. 
Wayside Gardens Organic Plant Food is made 
according to an old and tried English formula. 
We know it’s tip'top because we use it exclu' 
sively on the millions of young plants we grow 
each year. It costs more than most chemical 
fertilizers because it is more expensive to make. 
We don’t put in any fillers to help make cheap, 
worthless bulk. You pay for and get nothing 
but plant food. You don’t need so much to get 
the lasting results you want. We also know we 
can’t charge more than it is worth; competition 
does not permit. 
Wayside Gardens Special Plant Food is easy 
to use. The directions are simple. If your gar' 
den is an established one, apply twice a year, 
March 1st and October 1st. Use 15 to 25 
pounds for top dressing a space of 500 square 
feet for Hardy Plants, Rock Plants, Roses, An- 
nuals, and other flowering plants, shrubs, and 
bulbs. 
In making a new garden, double the amount 
and mix with the soil. Planting may be done 
at once. No burning is possible. For old lawns, 
use 10 to 25 pounds for top dressing 500 square 
feet. In making new lawns, use double the 
amount and mix with the soil. Seeding and bulb 
planting may be done at once. No burning effect 
will result. 
For potted plants, a 3'inch pot full of the 
food, mixed with a bushel of soil, will give you 
splendid results.
