GLADIOLUS 
The garden should not only supply an effec- 
tive, pleasing landscape, but a succession of 
suitable cut flowers for the home. It is diffi- 
cult to imagine a more satisfactory cut flower 
than the Gladiolus, which may be had in al- 
most all shades and may be planted over a 
period of three months—extending the bloom- 
ing season from July to late Autumn. We offer 
the following selected garden varieties: 
Albatross. Large snow white. Tall. One of 
the finest whites.

PLANT FOODS 
Grow with Pep-To-Grow 
BEAUTIFUL LAWNS, TREES AND 
FLOWERS 
PEP-TO-GROW is a complete Lawn and 
Garden Plant Food—safe and effective. 
It begins to become available immediately 
and yet is lasting. It is safe because it 
is organic and does not burn. It is last- 
ing because not all is immediately soluble 
and is retained in the soil throughout the 
growing season. 
PEP-TO-GROW is scientifically and care- 
fully prepared—consisting of plant food 
from numerous sources, so as to furnish a 
safe, balanced garden and lawn plant food 
meeting the requirements of those who can- 
not afford to experiment or take chances 
on hit and miss fertilizers. 
PEP-TO-GROW is inexpensive, easily ap- 
pled, and can be safely and effectively used 
on your lawn, trees, shrubs, perennials, 
Roses, fruit trees, berries, vegetables, etc. 
PEP-TO-GROW 1s especially helpful to Box- 
wood—stimulating growth, making them 
compact, and causing the foliage to retain 
its dark green color throughout the Winter. 
Application—On starved lawns and un- 
dernourished trees and shrubs, apply as 
follows: 100 lbs. Pep-To-Grow on 400 
sq. ft, lawn. On trees or shrubs, apply 1 lb. 
to each inch in caliper up to 6 in. On trees 
6 in. to 12 in. in caliper, use 11% lbs. per 
each inch in caliper; 12 in. or more, use 2 lbs. 
per each inch in caliper—distributing the 
Pep-To-Grow over an area extending as 
far as covered by the branches. Repeat 
annually, reducing the application as much 
as half after your soil is built up to a high 
degree of fertility.

 FRANSELANTONE 
“A Vitamin-Hormone Stimulant 
Rooted Plants’’ 
Transplantone is a water-soluble powder 
containing Vitamin C, Vitamin B-1, and other 
parts of the Vitamin B complex, plus root- 
forming hormone! The hormone initiates roots 
while the vitamins take care of their con- 
tinued growth. 

for 
How It Works—When an actively growing 
plant is lifted or moved, some of the roots are 
broken off and growth is interrupted until the 
plant has grown enough new roots to offset the 
loss. Then there is frequently a severe water 
loss in transplanting so that the plant wilts or 
collapses. Soaking the roots of the plant with 
Transplantone solution does four things: 
Reduces wilting, invigorates old roots, mul- 
tiplies new roots, reduces loss in transplanting. 
How to Use It—Dissolve a level teaspoonful 
of Transplantone in a gallon of water. Sprin- 
kle seedlings with this solution from a watering 
can immediately after transplanting. Soak 
the soil around the roots with the solution in 
the case of plants, shrubs, or trees, which are 
transplanted with a ball of earth. Dormant or 
“bare-root”’ plants like Peonies, Roses, or 
small trees and shrubs should be treated by 
soaking the roots for not less than an hour or 
more than two in the solution before planting. 
Use on established plants by sprinkling. 
Will give excellent results. 
RHO-ZA-GROW. Rho-Za-Grow is of great 
importance in the culture of Rhododen- 
drons, Azaleas, and other plants of that 
nature. See page 29 for further information 
on the culture of acid-loving plants and 
the use of Rho-Za-Grow.

DAFFODILS (NARCISSUS) 
The Daffodil is now possibly in greater de- 
mand than ever before. Its increased popu- 
larity has been brought about by improved 
varieties and its extensive use as a cut flower, 
as well as for bedding—displacing Tulips, 
which were made scarce and expensive by the 
second World War. 
We offer the following carefully selected 
varieties: 
Emperor. Perianth primrose-yellow; trumpet 
darker. Still a fine old variety.

How to Make and Keep 
a Beautiful Lawn 
Putting the Soil in Final Shape—After the 
soil has been ploughed or spaded thoroughly 
and after the fertilizers, manure and peat moss 
have been thoroughly worked into the soil, the 
ground should be harrowed or raked lightly to 
pulyenze the surface and thoroughly firm the 
soil. 
When to Sow—Lawns seeded in the Spring 
should be started as early as possible. March 
sowing is better than April, and April better 
than May. The ideal time to sow is from 
August 15th to September 30th. Lawns seeded 
at this time are well established by the follow- 
ing Spring, when Crabgrass and other weeds 
are just making a start. 
What to Sow—Waynesboro Evergreen Lawn 
Mixture and Waynesboro Shady Lawn Mix- 
ture give excellent results wherever used. 
These brands are composed of carefully 
cleaned, tested seeds that produce compact 
grown grasses maturing at different times, 
thus insuring a green, velvety surface through- 
out the entire season under normal conditions. 
What to Do with Old Lawns—Where a lawn 
has a thin and sickly looking stand of grass 
which indicates starvation, it can often be 
greatly improved by consistent top dressing, 
fertilizing and watering as suggested for the 
new lawn. 
When seeds and Crabgrass have infested an 
old lawn to such an extent as to smother and 
crowd out the lawn grasses, there is only one 
practical method of renovating the lawn, and 
that is to remove the weeds and undesirable 
peperation and plant a new lawn from start to 
nish. 
USE A SPECIALLY PREAPRED LAWN 
FERTILIZER 
We recommend using a good grade of top 
soil and our specially prepared lawn fertilizer, 
Pep-To-Grow, in preparing your lawn for 
seeding. See above for more complete infor- 
mation on Pep-To-Grow. 
WAYNESBORO SHADY LAWN MIXTURE
