Chapter VI 
PLANT FOOD 

Late in 1941 we completed the annex to our bulb storage building, which 
provides ample space to take care of our growth. The whole building and its 
equipment was designed for the sole purpose of providing as near ideal storage 
conditions for gladiolus bulbs as possible. It was built new from the ground 
up according to these plans. Temperature automatically controlled to within 
1° I. Humidity also controlled to insure sound, plump bulbs. 

CHATELIER’S PLANT FOOD 
We have heard considerable about Chatelier’s Plant Food in the past, and this last season, 
we conducted a couple of tests and the results were very satisfactory. We transplanted 
a lot of Red Raspberry bushes, and one row was handled without treatment, all of them 
wilted badly and later most of them died on account of the heat and drought. The 
balance of them were treated with Chatelier’s, and the majority of them hardly wilted 
and not only lived, but put on a strong healthy growth. We also tested the soaking of 
bulblets, and the resulis were very noticeable, showing much better returns from those 
treated. 
For general use, one tablet is dissolved per each gallon of water.

HY PONEX 
it has been our privilege to see some wonderful results obtained by the use of Hyponex 
on various plants in greenhouse work. Most luxuriant growth, abundant flowers of 
much larger size. Our investigation of the efficiency of Hyponex was carried on late 
last fall so consequently we have not tried it on gladiolus, but can see no reason why 
superior results should not be obtained. 
Hyponex is extremely valuable for growing plants in the house. It provides all the food 
required. lt is simple to mix this clean, odorless powder with the water you give your 
plants so that you know they are properly fed. Hyponex contains Vitamin B1. 
The formula for Hyponex has been approved and ficensed in the Agricultural Department 
of every State in the Union and Canada. The analysis of Hyponex is guaranteed. It 
will not spoil nor lose its vitality. Order Hyponex, follow directions on the package and 
be pleased. Include a package of Hyponex in your order for bulbs.
