Peomalawn Plant Foods 

SCIENTIFICALLY COMPOUNDED 

WHAT THEY ARE 
Permalawn Plant Foods are carefully prepared in ac- 
cordance with the best scientific principles and the most 
advanced methods. Quickly available plant food materials 
are combined with a vegetable meal to provide hungry 
plants with both an immediate and a longer lasting supply 
of food. Soluble iron, manganese, and the other trace ele- 
ments make Permalawn a complete diet, now in granular 
form.

FEEDING DEVELOPS FULL BEAUTY 
A really fine lawn can be secured only if a scientifically 
correct feeding program is followed. Such a program en- 
ables the grasses to grow vigorously, causing the lawn to 
become thicker and more beautiful each year. A properly 
fed lawn becomes green earlier in the spring and remains 
so later in the fall, giving pleasure for a longer period each 
year. 
sd 
WHEN TO FEED 
The lawn grasses usually grow vigorously only from 
early April to late June and from late August until late 
October, periods when weather conditions are most favor- 
able. An abundance of plant food should be available dur- 
ing these periods to bring the food supply into balance 
with the favorable weather conditions. 
The correct Permalawn Plant Food applied at the be- 
ginning of each of these growth periods, in the spring 
just after the grass starts growth and in the fall after 
the hottest part of the summer is past, will usually nour- 
ish the grass effectively to the end of the growth period. 
If feeding appears advisable during the summer, Perma- 
lawn Soluble Plant Food will be found excellent. 
® 
PLANT FOOD BALANCE IMPORTANT 
The fertilizer analysis used should be such that it will 
create the proper balance of plant food elements in the 
soil. In general, heavy soils require plant food higher 
in nitrogen than do sandy soils. But even on a heavy 
soil it is advisable to avoid the use of too high a propor- 
tion of nitrogen, which may force the top growth too 
greatly and produce a weak root system. If in doubt, ask 
for a soil analysis.

I bave been sore than eatiefied with the results 
eeoured with your Parmleso Pleat Foods during the past 
Yeo years. In 

cotiosably better growth, hed better eolor, ani each feed-

bave had on the plece. 


I also thoroughly approve of your Permalers Soluble 
Plast Pood. At tbe same rete it produces much better Teemlie

We believe ordi- 
nary fertilizers 
are worth the 
price asked for 
them and that 
they would 
be made 
better but 
Brg for the 
extra cost 
involved. 
We feel this 
extra cost is 
justified in 
making Perma- 
lawn Plant 
Foods Better.

TREE FEEDING 
“The most important phase of tree care”, Missouri Botanical 
Garden, Bul. No. 4, 1936. 
Feeding not only makes trees more beautiful but helps them 
in their fight against diseases, insects, prolonged periods of 
drought, and winter injury. 
“The only occurrence of winter injury was with trees in ex- 
tremely low nutritive condition and none occurred with late 
fertilization”. N. C. Exp. Sta. Bul. No. 322. 
Trees may be fed at any time during the year and fall feeding 
is as effective as that done in the spring. 
“Fertilizer applied in the fall after the leaves had dropped 
produced a response in growth approximately equivalent to the 
same rates of application, in March—” N. C. Agri. Exp. Sta. 
Bul. No. 321. 
“Trees require large amounts of food and cannot be overfed”. 
—Missouri Botanical Garden Bul. No. 4, 1936. 
Permalawn Tree Food (10-8-6)—10% avail. 
nitrogen, 8% avail. phos., 6% avail. potash. A 
complete plant food of the most widely approved 
analysis specially prepared to feed trees better. 
Permalawn Tree Food contains sufficient sol- 
uble iron, manganese, and the other trace ele- 
ments to meet the requirements of trees except 
where bad cases of chlorosis exist, when additional soluble iron 
should be used. The organic matter in Permalawn Tree Food 
prevents the formation of the insoluble “plug” characteristic of 
ordinary tree foods. Allow 4 pounds per inch of diameter of 
tree trunk for small and medium sized trees and 6 pounds per 
inch of diameter for larger trees. 50 Ibs., $2.75; 100 Ibs., $4.50; 
1000 Ibs., $42.50; 2000 Ibs,, $80.00.

plant food prepared especially for the liquid feed- 
ing of trees, lawns and golf greens. Works per- 
fectly in the power sprayer, Fertigator, or other 
liquid tree feeding device or through any suit- 
able proportioner. Lawn feeding tests have demonstrated that 
this plant food is not only quick acting but it is also long last- 
ing. For trees, dissolve 1 lb. per gallon of water and inject into 
the soil. 100 Ibs., $7.00; 500 Ibs., $34.00; 1000 Ibs., $60.00.
