PLANIABBS 
Plus Vitamin By 

A new aid to root-growth 
on your cuttings. 
Every gardener knows the dif- 
ficulties and disappointments 
encountered in growing plants 
from cuttings. Root growth is 
frequently slow, often unsatis- 
factory, and is many times 
completely unsuccessful .. . 
despite all efforts. 
But now there is a marvelous 
new scientific root - forming 
chemical available that elim- 
inates all this uncertainty. 
This unusual chemical— 
Rootone—contains the growth- 
substances necessary to stim- 
ulate rapid, strong root growth 
. and with its use, even the 
inexperienced gardener is 
assured a high percentage of 
successfully rooted cuttings. 
New help for transplanting, too 
Another remarkable new plant 
stimulant is effective in reduc- 
ing transplant shock and wilt 
on all kinds of plants or shrubs. 
This new vitamin- hormone 
stimulant — Transplantone—is 
also effective in bringing about 
earlier maturity on tomatoes, 
lettuce, celery, peppers, 
tobacco and cabbage. 
Both of these new but uni- 
versally accepted stimulants 
are very inexpensive. In fact 
they pay for themselves many 
times over. 
A fertilizer formula for every 
soil feeding need. We offer special pur- 
pose fertilizers for use wherever a special formula is 
needed. Knowing the soil conditions and growing prob- 
lems of this territory as we do, we can prescribe just the 
right formula for every case.

one recommended especially to handle some situation of 
your own, be sure to consult us.
