.NEWS FLASH.... 
_—-—-- 
Just in time for the catalog comes news of the most recent discovery for aiding plants— 
‘‘A Vitamin-Hormone Stimulant for Rooted Plants” 
TRANSPLANTONE is a water-soluble powder containing 
Vitamin C, Vitamin B-l, and other parts of the Vitamin B com¬ 
plex, PLUS root-forming hormone. Plant physiologists have 
shown that these chemicals are vital to the growth of plants, 
particularly of roots. The hormone initiates roots while the 
vitamins take care of their continued growth. 
HOW IT WORKS 
When an actively growing plant is lifted or moved, some of the 
roots are broken off and growth is interrupted until the plant has 
grown enough new roots to offset the loss. Then there is fre¬ 
quently a severe water loss in transplanting so that the plant wilts 
or collapses. Soaking the roots of the plant with TRANSPLAN¬ 
TONE solution does four things: 
1. Reduces Wilting. 
2. Invigorates Old Roots. 
3. Multiplies New Roots. 
4. Reduces Loss in Transplanting. 
HOW TO USE IT 
Dissolve a level teaspoonful of TRANSPLANTONE in a 
gallon of water. Sprinkle seedlings with this solution from a 
watering can immediately after transplanting. Soak the soil 
around the roots with the solution in the case of plants, shrubs 
or trees, which are transplanted with a ball of earth. Dormant or 
“bare-root” plants like peonies, roses or small trees and shrubs 
should be treated by soaking the roots for not less than an hour or 
more than two in the solution before planting. (See cut at right.)

USE ON ESTABLISHED PLANTS 
Not only transplants but established plants can benefit 
from TRANSPLANTONE. A weekly watering of house 
or garden plants, even of shaded lawns will benefit their 
root system, and this is bound to show up in the vigor 
and quality of the plants. Water freely with plain water 
between treatments as the capacity to use moisture is 
increased. 
Alkaline soil especially is deficient in Vitamin B-1 and 
for that reason TRANSPLANTONE will show striking 
results in such soil.
