FOOD FOR THOUGHT — AS Well As For Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But they are mostly 
only stimulants. What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not 
just a stimulant. They need one containing in right amounts, those 
things that make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, 
thrifty foliage and an abundance of good sized blooms. That’s exactly 
the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of our success in 
growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. What it has done, 
and is doing for our 600 miles of plants, it will do for your garden.
