FERTILIZERS FOR FLORISTS 
Plant Foods for the Duration 
Because of the importance of Chemical Nitrogens in the war effort it has been necessary for 
the War Production Board to place certain restrictions on the use of these materials in the 
manufacture of fertilizers. These restrictions have made it necessary to vary the analysis of 
some of the complete plant foods, to use nitrogen from organic sources rather than chemical or 
to eliminate partially or completely from this use some materials that growers have come to 
rely on in the production of their crops. 
Until all these conditions have been completely worked out it is impossible to quote firm 
prices. 
We, however, can assure you that we shall at all times be in a position to advise you of the 
existing conditions relative to your individual uses of these materials and will be very glad to 
help you work out your plant food problems. 
We shall have in stock, for your use, the fertilizers needed for the production of your crops, 
whenever they are available under the War Production Board Conservation orders, and shall 
be happy to supply your needs at the lowest existing prices.
