Extra Vigor and Quality Forced Into Them 
By “Vitalized” we do not mean just fertilized and the like but a 
whole chain of operations that insure the highest productive possi¬ 
ble in plants. This is the Keith Way of growing plants.

They are grown in an ideal plant soil with plenty of natural 
plant foods like that found only in virgin soils. 
Special fertilizers are used that tend to produce vigorous roots 
and- crowns which insure greatest growth and production. 
Continuous cultivation and extra fertilizing along side the rows 
all during the growing season. 
Lifting plants at digging time with special machine which get 
all the roots without breaking or injuring them which is often 
the case when ordinary methods are used. 
Careful handling after they have been taken from the soil so 
they are not exposed to the sun and drying winds. They are 
kept fresh and reach you in this fresh condition. 
They are all hand-cleaned indoors and made ready for you to 
plant without any pruning. 
They are carefully packed in special crates after a method 
devised by Keith which insures arrival in best of condition. 
The roots are embedded in damp special moss and the tops 
exposed to ventilation. They reach you as fresh as the day 
they were dug. These are some of the operations that enables 
Keith to grow and supply you with “Vitalized” plants. 
We now have a new method to keep your plants growing 
• vigorously right in your own soil, and if you follow this 
method, I am sure the plants will get the right start and keep 
it up. This method is fully described below. Read it carefully.

Our New Plant “Invigorator” 
VITAMIN B-1 
We are offering our customers for the first 
time this year our Plant ‘Tnvigorator.” It 
sure gives wonderful results. Plants treat¬ 
ed with it before setting start much quicker 
and are more thrifty and vigorous there¬ 
after. This is especially so when the soil 
along side the row is treated. 
H ow To Use Our Plant “Invigorator” 
VITAMIN B-1 
Soak the roots ONLY for one-half hour 
just preceeding setting in water to which 
has been added the Soil “Invigorator.” Then 
set them out. but first switch the wet roots 
(bunch of plants at a time) in moist loose 
soil until they are covered with fine soil 
like paint in a paint brush. Then set them 
as directed under “Setting the Plants.”

Treatment After Planting 
After planting, make a 3 in. trench along 
each side of the row 2 inches from the 
base of the plants and pour in the water 
containing the Plant “Invigordtor” in which 
you soaked the roots, using about one gal¬ 
lon per 25 plants. After the water has 
thoroughly soaked in the soil, refill the 
trench with loose moist soil. Repeat the 
process in about three weeks, making the 
trench about 3 inches away from the 
plants. See Page 21.
