Barbara Ann pouring MIRACLE GROW Nutrient Solution into pots of plants 
growing in sand in our office Winter Garden. 
We strongly recommend using Miracle Grow Nutrient 
Solution in holes around roots when setting trees, plants, 
bulbs etc. instead of water. Its use will insure quick start¬ 
ing and a more vigorous growth and flowtrage. Also rec¬ 
ommended for soaking ground around trees, shrubs, roses, 
Perennials, bulbs, etc. that you already have growing to give them added 
pep and vigor. Splendid results will follow when used in vegetable garden, 
soaking ground when seed is planted and again after plants are up. 
Miracle Grow is inexpensive, costing only 15 cts. for a 5 gallon package 
or 10 packages 50 gal. for $1.00. Easily mixes with water. Use freely as there 
is no danger from over dosage or burning. 
Our Nurseries are National in scope, as we ship our 
Hardy Trees, Plants and Bulbs to every State in the U. S. 
Our Introductory Advertising Offers are broadcast in 
season over more than 200 Radio Stations, reaching from 
coast to coast. 
We are located in the “Blizzard Belt” of Northern Iowa, 
about 15 miles south of the Minnesota State line, where we 
are subject to extremes in temperature as well as in condi¬ 
tions of moisture. During the winter we are subject to severe 
“Blizzards” that last from two to three days, with mercury 
sometimes as low as 40 degrees below zero. During the sum¬ 
mer we often have other extremes, with temperature run¬ 
ning up into the 90’s for days at a time, with moisture con¬ 
dition from severe drought to being temporarily flooded. 
During the year we get a sample of about every kind of 
weather conditions that can be found between Maine and California and 
from Florida to the Canadian line. Our customers have found that our 
Flowers and Trees grown under these great extremes in weather condi¬ 
tions, are full of vitality and easy to make grow in all parts of the United 
States. Our growing costs are low as our nurseries are in the country and 
we have plenty of land and equipment to grow millions of trees and 
plants annually. 
SHIPPING SEASON. Our spring shipping season opens early in March 
and continues up to the last part of May. We try to ship all orders to reach 
our customers at the best time to set our plants in their particular part of 
the country.
