Remember how carefully Grandma 
used to tend the “‘slips’’ from which 
she was growing new plants for her 
garden? She didn’t always have a very 
high percentage of success, but in 
those leisurely days it didn’t seem to 
matter so much. Nowadays we have 
the ‘‘root hormones’’ to speed up the 
process and vastly improve our results. 
HORMODIN comes in three types for 
different kinds of plants. Instructions mak- 
ing its use safe and simple are contained 
in each package. It is an easy-to-apply 
powder without any waste whatever. Priced 
at right side of page. 
Plants always suffer a shock when 
being transplanted and at that time 
can use an extra supply of some one 
or the other of the known ‘‘growth 
factors’’ which aid in root formation. 
TRANSPLANTONE contains Vitamin 
B:, and other parts of the Vitamin B 
complex, plus certain plant hormones 
which are active in root formation. 
We at Wayside Gardens find it indis- 
pensible and use it on all difficult to 
transplant plants and_ shrubs. Prices at 
right side of page. We particularly recom- 
mend you use if at all times. It will start 
plants into growth much faster. 
Ever have your prize seedlings or 
newly transplanted Roses turn up their 
toes in the hot sun? Or freeze out in 
a late cold snap? All this loss and 
bother is prevented with these minia- 
ture hothouses, wax paper transplant- 
ing hoods known as HOTKAPS. 50

Probably the one biggest nuisance that 
the serious gardener has to contend with is 
the storage of clay pots if they are to re- 
main unbroken for next year’s use. OSMO 
TRI-POTS are inexpensive paper pots that 
are thrown away after use. They take up 
practically no space until they are needed, 
but are quickly set into their convenient 
square shape, allowing them to fit com- 
pactly into flats. They come in three con- 
enient sizes.

WIpDE BLADE TROWEL 
Really Moves Dirt! 
No Tired Wrist 
No Bending or Breaking 
In the nursery, where we 
set out each year more than 
3 million plants, we have 
a trowel that will do the 
work witohut producing tired 
wrists, blisters or cramped 
fingers and, above all, must 
make the proverbial “‘dollar 
hole for a 5-cent plant’ to 
hold all the roots without 
cramping. 
Since there was no such trowel available we 
designed this one with a broad blade, a smooth 
solid wooden handle (painted red so you won’t 
lose it), a short shank to prevent tired wrists. 
75c each; 3 for $2.00. (Make welcome. gifts.)
