HOW TO USE FERTILIZER 
__FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES—Broadeast 4 to 6 lbs., over each 
100 square feet and work well into several days before sowing seed 
or setting out plants. For larger vegetables in rows apply 2 to 8% 
Ibs., for 50 feet of row. Water in. Use half these amounts for addi- 
tional feedings every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season. Soak 
in with heavy sprinklings. Be sure that the plant food is mixed well 
with the soil and does not come in direct contact with the seed or 
plants. : 
POTTED PLANTS—One-half teaspoonful mixed in top soil is usual- 
ly sufficient for plant in 6-inch pot. Vary quantity according to size 
of pot. WATER IN IMMEDIATELY. Repeat in 30 days. 
TREES AND SHRUBS—Work several handfuls in soil around each 
shrub or small tree. For larger shrubs or trees increase applicatjon 
according to size and distribute in soil around trunk as far as branches 
spread. Water in. 
TO FEED ESTABLISHED LAWNS—Apply broadcast 3 to 4 Ilbs. 
per 100 square feet early in the spring. After applying, soak in 
thoroughly with heavy sprinkling to carry food down to feeding roots. 
This is very important.
