A comparison of the flower seed offered 
today with that offered ten or fifteen 
years ago would bring out the fact that 
flower breeders have given us greatly 
improved varieties and colors for our 
gardens. These flowers are the result of 
careful, scientific work. 
Isn't it folly to expect these thoroughbred 
flowers to develop regal splen¬ 
dor on a food ration that is not 
complete . . . one that does 
not supply the eleven elements 
scientists have proved all plants 
require from the soil? 
SOME "DO S" 
Feed everything you grow with Vigoro. 
Keep the Vigoro off the stalks and stems 
of plants. Wash off promptly any that 
gets on them. 
For lawns, spread the Vigoro early be¬ 
fore the grass starts to grow . . . just as 
the frost is coming out of the ground. 
Read the quick, easy-to-understand di¬ 
rections before using. 
SOME "DONT'S" 
Don't use Vigoro as you use old-fash¬ 
ioned fertilizers. You need far less. 
Don't think that because a little is good 
a whole lot is better. 
Don't take someone's word for it; read 
the directions. 
Vigoro is the complete scientific plant 
food. Used by millions of gardeners an¬ 
nually. It is made by Swift & Company.
