PLANT FOOD 
THE ROLE OF PLANT FOOD IN 
PRODUCTS MODERN GARDENING 
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 splendor on a food ration that is not complete... one 
that does not supply the elements scientists have proved all 
plants require from soil? 
SOME ‘“DO’S” — Feed everything you grow with United 
Plantfood. Keep the United Plantfood off the stalks and stems 
of plants. Wash off promptly any that gets on them. For lawns, 
spread the United Plantfood early before the grass starts to 
grow. Read the quick, easy-to-understand directions before 
using. ; 
SOME “DON’TS’’—Don’t use United Plantfood as you use 
old-fashioned fertilizers. You need far less. Don’t think that 
because a little is good a whole lot is better. Don’t take some- 
one’s word for it; read the directions. United Plantfood is the 
complete scientific plant food. Used by thousands of gardeners 
annually.
