tree, the dose repeated three or four times, and today 
they are in perfect health. A forty foot Olive tree 
suffering from a bad case of root rot was treated once 
a week for three months with Vitamin B-1 solution. 
The tree now shows no effect of rot and has sent out 
new branches and leaf growth. These experiments 
have proved that Vitamin B-1 will restore sick and 
straggly plants to health: produce more luxuriant 
foliage; larger blooms; and decrease the mortality from 
transplanting; generally increase the vigor, size and 
substance of plants and flowers, roses, shrubs and trees. 
It has also been used on lawns, producing remarkable 
improvement in growth, color and the general vigor and 
resistance of the turf. 
Unlimited Possibilities 
Any diligent gardener can achieve results with 
Vitamin B-1 as easily as some of the foregoing ex¬ 
amples. Its value to horticulture is almost beyond 
calculation and will undoubtedly have a far-reaching 
effect on both amateur and commercial plant growing. 
Since the full scope of Vitamin B-1 is yet to be deter¬ 
mined, all gardeners and flower lovers are urged to 
carry on independent research with the plant material 
they have. So get your Vitamin B-1 and start using 
it now. Please report any unusual results to your 
dealer, or to Garden Products Company, St. Louis, 
Missouri.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING 
All the equipment needed for Vitamin B-1 treatment 
Is included in the Garden Products Company's Home 
Garden Kit. It contains: A bottle of Vitamin B-1 crystal¬ 
line powder; a special dropper; a basic solution vial; 
a measuring pick. 
' Basic Solution 
With the measuring pick take a spot of Vitamin B-1 
Powder no larger than the head of a small pin (ap¬ 
proximately one milligram). Place this in the bottom 
of the empty vial and add twenty drops of water. 
This is your basic or working solution. 
Solution for General Treatment 
To make the required solution for general treatment, 
add one drop of the Basic Solution to one gallon of 
water. Sprinkle it around the plants just as you do 
with regular waterings. This treatment is for ^ house 
and garden plants that are already planted. Garden 
plants should be watered with the Vitamin B-1 solu¬ 
tion about once a week; house plants once every two 
weeks. DON'T OVERDO IT. However, shrubs, roses 
and gardenias respond remarkably to two treatments 
a week. All treatments with Vitamin B-1 should be 
interspersed with regular irrigations of plain water. 
Solution for Transplanting 
To make a transplanting solution, take four spots 
of Vitamin B-1 powder and dissolve in one gallon of 
water. In transplanting shrubs, roses, trees and other 
plants, the roots should be immersed in the Trans¬ 
planting Solution for fifteen minutes, then replanted 
immediately and watered with a general solution. 
This treatment is effective in preventing root shock 
and reduces mortality to a minimum. Certain Seeds 
soaked in this solution for 24 hours germinate quicker. 
Seedlings watered 3 times a week with it mature 
earlier.
