STALEYMONE 

lant, is recommended for use on farm 
and vegetable seed, on flowers and 
nursery stock, on trees and lawns. It 
has been found to rank highest in all- 
round results when compared with other 
growth-promoting materials. 
GS tases reson the new plant stimu- 
Dusted on seeds before planting, it will 
hasten their germination. Seeds and 
cuttings treated with it are enabled to put 
forth stronger root systems than un- 
treated seed, and as a result they grow 
faster and produce sturdy plants capable 
of withstanding unfavorable climatic 
conditions. 
Treating plants, trees and shrubs with 
Staleymone at transplanting time hastens 
root development in their new location 
and overcomes much of the loss from 
wilting and shock. Watering plants once 
a week with Staleymone solution will 
increase the number of fibrous roots and 
add vigor and vitality. 
Staleymone is not intended to take the 
place of fertilizer, seed inoculants, dis- 
infectants, or fungicides. It is purely a 
growth-controlling material and helps the 
plant to make better use of the fertilizer 

given it. Any inoculants or disinfectants 
that are ordinarily used on seed before 
planting should be applied as usual, with 
the Staleymone as an added treatment. 
Farmers who use large size bags of 
Staleymone can treat crops for 4 cents per 
acre. Home gardeners using garden-size 
packages find the cost negligible compared 
with the results obtained. 
Enthusiastic reports have come from 
growers of soybeans in widely scattered 
parts of the country. An Oklahoma 
farmer reported 840 pounds of cowpeas 
from a plot planted with Staleymone- 
treated seed, as compared with an un- 
treated check plot that yielded only 482 
pounds. An Illinois farmer harvested 4 
bushels of large tomatoes from 15 plants 
raised from seed treated with Staleymone. 
An application of Staleymone as a dust 
at the rate of 30 to 40 pounds per acre 
has been found profitable on most crops. 
The fertilization of blossoms on field crops 
is stimulated by such a dusting, with the 
result that larger and better seeds are 
produced. It should always be remem- 
bered, however, that Staleymone does not 
take the place of an insecticide.

Bulbs, roots and tubers may be dusted 
with Staleymone before planting; the 
base of cuttings may be dipped in the 
powder, to hasten rooting. When trans- 
planting woody plants, the hole in which 
they are to be set is often dusted with 
Staleymone, or a solution of one ounce to 
four gallons of water may be used to water 
the newly planted tree or shrub. 
_In answer to the demand for increased 
yields this year, we offer Staleymone.
