necessary to bring plants into full healthy maturity in the shortest length 
of time. It is odorless, economical to use and easy to apply. One teaspoon- 
ful to each gallon of water is sufficient for house plants, but for general gar- 
den use the solution should be a little stronger, one tablespoon to each 
gallon of water. 3-oz. bottle 25c.; 8-oz. bottle 59c.; 16-oz. bottle 99c.;

der glass which need a powerful fertilizer that is instantly available. 
Hy-Gro food elements dissolve quickly in water, making a solution 
that will supply plants with all the nourishment they need for healthy, 
vigorous growth and it can be safely fed at any time without fear of burn- 
ing. For house plants, dissolve one teaspoonful of the powder in one 
quart of water. Outdoor plants usually require more food; use at the rate 
of two tablespoonfuls of powder to one gallon of water. 3-oz. pkge. 25c. 
20 oz. size $1.00, 10 Ib. size $4.00. 
FERTI-FLORA

garden and cut-flowers. Ferti-flora is a highly concentrated plant food and 
it is only necessary to add one teaspoonful to a quart of water and pour 
on the soil as in ordinary watering. : 
For cut flowers add one teaspoonful to each quart of water. In this 
solution they will last much longer and changing the water will be unneces- 
sary. 8-oz. bottle 35c.; 1-qt. bottle $1.00; 1-gal. $3.00.

' fectly balanced and complete nourishment for potted plants, and all garden 
| plants—particularly Roses. 380 tablets 25c.; 75 tablets 50c.; 200 tablets

CHEMICAL AND BACTERIAL 
AIDS TO PLANT GROWTH 
(NOT FERTILIZERS) 
ROOTONE 
The plant hormone powder. Rootone is not a fertilizer or plant food 
but is a root forming stimulant. Just dip cuttings into the powder. Shake 
off any excess and plant. Rooting takes place in a much shorter time, 
heavier root system is formed and fewer die from disease. When seeds and 
bulbs are dusted with Rootone before planting, germination is quicker 
and root growth faster and heavier. 14-oz. pkt. (Sufficient to treat 400 
cuttings, 214 lbs. of seed, or 100 bulbs) 25c.; 2-o0z. jar $1.00; 1-lb. can $5.00. 
TRANSPLANTONE 
A vitamin-hormone stimulant for plants. Transplantone is a water 
soluble powder containing Vitamin B-1 and other parts of the Vitamin B 
fraction, plus certain plant hormones which are active in root formation. 
Dissolve one level teaspoonful of Transplantone in one gallon of water. 
Soak the soil around the plant roots with this solution immediately after 
transplanting. The hormones aid in the formation of new roots while the 
Vitamin B chemicals stimulate their continued growth. 14-oz. pkg. 25c.; 
l-oz. can (sufficient for 10 gallons of transplant solution) 50c.; 3-oz. can 
$1.00; 1-lb. can $4.00. 
FRUITONE 
Fruitone is a powder containing the synthetic hormones which have been 
found by the United States Department of Agriculture te be most effective 
in stopping the premature drop of apples. Fruitone is a spray material 
and should be mixed at the rate of one level teaspoonful to one gallon of 
water or 2 ounces to 25 gallons. The trees should be sprayed immediately, 
when dropping begins. With the use of Fruitone apples can be held on the 
tree longer so that they attain a higher color and a better size. 2-oz. can 
$1.00; 12-oz. can $5.00. 
HORMODIN 
The root forming chemical. Hormodin stimulates rapid root growth on 
plant cuttings and makes easy the rooting of many plants which were 
formerly impossible or very difficult to root. Hormodin powders simplify 
the treatment of cuttings. The moistened stems are simply dipped in 
Hormodin and then gently tapped to remove the excess powder before 
setting them in the sand. Because different plants require different treat- 
ments, Hormodin Powder has been developed in three strengths to parallel 
the range of hormones in nature. 
Powder No.1. Designed primarily for use on carnations, chrysanthemums, 
poinsettias, roses and similar types. Many house, garden and greenhouse 
plants are included in the complete list. 134-oz. tin 50c.; 1-lb. tin $3.00. 
Powder No. 2. Designed for use on less sensitive species which comprise 
many of the semi-woody types and many of the common shrubs. 134-oz. 
tin 75c.; 1-lb. tin $4.50. 
Powder No. 3. Designed for use with the more resistant species which 
comprise most of the evergreens and dormant leafless cuttings. 1l-oz. tin 
$1.00; 14-lb. tin $4.50. 
Combination package. Powders No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 in one carton 75c. 
BREXONE VITAMIN B-1 
Vitamin B-1 is a root invigorator; not a fertilizer. It stimulates the 
growth of roots and thus enables plants to derive the greatest benefit from 
the soil in which they grow. Through its use marvelous results have been 
achieved with house plants. Nurserymen have found it particularly effec- 
tive in rooting cuttings which are ordinarily difficult to start. Vitamin B-1 
solution is used for the soaking of seeds before planting, with fine results 
and is excellent for the watering of seedlings. A drop of Vitamin B-1 in 
2 quarts of water is sufficient. A 2-ounce bottle will make 500 gallons of 
solution. Detailed directions for use accompany each bottle. 2-0z. bottle 50c. 
NOD-0-GEN 
A PURE CULTURE OF NODULE BACTERIA 
The nitrogen-gathering bacteria furnished in the form of humus or jelly 
causes nodules to develop on the roots of legume crops. These nodules 
gather nitrogen from the air and convert it into plant-food, saving plant- 
food in the soil. Full directions accompany every package. When ordering 
be sure to state what crop you wish to inoculate. 
In filling orders we may find it necessary to substitute humus cultures for 
jelly cultures or vice versa. 
Special Garden Size (Jelly Culture). Combining bacterias for Peas, 
Beans, and Sweet Peas only. Sufficient for about 12 lbs. of seed. Pkg. 10c. 
Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, Red Clover, Alsike Clover, Lespedeza and 
other Clovers (Jelly Culture). 14-bu. size 30c.; 1-bu. size 50c.; 
214-bu. size $1.00. 
Soybeans, Cowpeas, Vetch, Field Peas, Field Beans, and Garden 
Beans (Humus Culture). 1-bu. size 25c.; 2-bu. size 35c. 
For larger quantities of seed, use Nod-O-Gen Humus. Prices on application. 
To secure best results from the use of Nod-O-Gen, top-dress liberally with 
Ground Limestone or Agricultural Lime to correct any acid condition in the 
soil.
