FERTILE POTS—For Better, Earlier Crops 
This 
photograph 
shows the 
actual size and 
shape of the 
“Fertile Pots.” 
These pots have repeatedly produced better, earlier vegetables and 
are used in large numbers by practical, successful growers. 
We now grow and ship our own potted vegetable plants in No. 214 “Fertile Pots.” 
They are constructed of plant food in the right proportion for best plant growth, 
and hold the moisture at the roots of the plants. Save time and handling. The 
pots are not removed when the plants are set out, simply set pot and all in the 
field; the roots grow through the pot which slowly breaks down. Roots are not 
disturbed and the plants are not checked, even in dry weather. 
No. 2 (about 2” dia.) for lettuce, cabbage, corn, broccoli, peppers, cauliflower, etc. 
No. 214 (about 21%” dia.) for cucumbers, squash, melons, egg plants, tomatoes, etc. 
No. 3 (about 3” dia.) for same as No. 24.

SEMESAN 
Mahes Good Seed Grou Better 
We have been using and recommending Semesan for over 
15 years and we are convinced by our long experience on our 
own farm and greenhouses that it pays to use Semesan. In 
our greenhouses, S€mesan has proved very reliable in pre- 
venting “damping off” of seedlings. Watering the flats with the 
normal Semesan solution gives good results. 
Treatment with the various Semesan products listed below 
effectively cleanses vegetable, flower and field seed of most 
seed borne organisms and diseases, in most cases increasing the 
stand and consequently the crop. Semesan is easy to use with 
full directions on each package. 

Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy crop insurance! 
You can Buy Semesan in Following Forms: 
SEMESAN can be applied in either the liquid or convenient dust form to 
prevent or control effectively many diseases and fungoid growths borne by seeds, 
seed pieces, plants, grafts and soils. It is harmless to seed and plant life but ex- 
tremely poisonous to disease and fungus organisms. Directions on each package. 
¥% Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 40c; Postpaid. Not prepaid; 1 Lb. $2.50; 5 Lbs. $11.40. 
SEMESAN Jr. New Improved. For Field and Sweet Corn. A new inex- 
pensive form for the dry dust disinfection of both field and sweet corn seeds. . 
Its use protects the seed from rotting in the ground and makes possible earlier 
planting which generally results in higher prices and increased yields. We use 
it on all our planting of corn and beans. On one planting alone of sweet corn it 
nearly doubled the yield of corn for us. The cost is so little that growers cannot 
afford to plant corn that has not been treated. 114 oz. treats 1 bu. seed. 
14% Oz. 15c; Postpaid. Not prepaid; 12 Oz. 60c; 644 Lbs. $3.75. 
SEMESAN BEL. New Improved. For seed potatoes. One pound of the New 
Improved Semesan Bel will treat 50 to 60 bu. of whole potatoes. It possesses 
great disease control properties especially in respect to Rhizoctonia and seed- 
born Scab. The “Instantaneous dip’’ method saves time and labor. 
2 Oz. 30c; Postpaid. Not prepaid; 1 Lb. $1.65; 5 Lbs. $7.15. 
CERESAN. New Improved. For treating grain. Recommended by leading 
authorities. This is the only dust disinfectant which has effectively controlled 
such grain diseases as stinking smut of wheat, stripe disease of barley, loose 
smut of barley and oats. It will not harm the seed or grain drill. Only 144 oz. 
required to effectively treat a bushel of wheat, oats or barley. 
New Improved Ceresan has proved effective in controlling bottom rot of 
lettuce. Use 121% lbs. per acre as a dust. Also used for tomato seed treatment.

Charcoal Base—4-16-4 Formula—20% More Plant Food 
Char-Gro has shown remarkable results where applied to our own 
vegetable gardens and those of our customers, and we believe it is a most 
decided improvement in commercial plant foods. 
The plant food in this fertilizer is impregnated by a special process in 
Wood Charcoal and formed into small, clean, granular pellets, each 
of which is a complete balanced fertilizer, thus assuring even distribu- 
tion of the plant food. Granular fertilizer is recommended by leading 
authorities. 
Char-Gro is odorless and easy to apply. These pellets may be applied either 
by hand or with a spreader on top of the ground or worked in. 
_Char-Gro is economical to use. Use only about 34 as much as ordinary fer- 
tilizers as it contains 20% more units of plant food than most garden fertilizers. The 
charcoal in Char-Gro has high moisture holding properties, releasing the plant food 
slowly as it is needed. There is no waste by leeching. 
Use only 34 lb. to 11% lbs. to 100 square feet. 
5 Lbs. 55c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. 75c; 25 Lbs. $1.25.
