RAPIDGRO FERTILIZER 
Fertilizers applied in dry form are harmful to plants if allowed to come in direct con- 
tact with roots, and it is for this reason that we discouraged, until recently, the apply- - 
ing of any fertilizer at the time of planting. 
A nearby nurseryman made it a life-time study to find a fluid fertilizer that can be 
applied to freshly planted as well as established trees and plants without taking any 
risk, and we are happy to announce that such a fertilizer under the name of "Rapidgro” 
is now available. 
Trees and plants dipped in a solution of Rapidgro before planting make a better start. 
Rapidgro is a good fertilizer for established trees and plants, and it is an ideal plant 
food for vegetables, flowers and lawns. 
Rapidgro contains 23% Nitrogen, 27% Phosphoric Acid, 17% Potash. 1 lb. of Reeon 
makes 22 gallons of fluid fertilizer, equaling 175 lbs. of ordinary fertilizer. Directions 
for use are given on every package. 
5 lbs. are a season's requirement to feed a 40 ft. by 60 ft. lot.

WHAT TO PLANT IN FAR NORTHERN SECTIONS 
Extra hardy varieties of Apples are Yellow Transparent, Oldenburg, Wealthy, MclIn- 
tosh Red, Early McIntosh, Tolman Sweet, Northern Spy, Early Harvest, Red Astrachan, 
and Red Gravenstein. 
Seckel and Kieffer are the hardiest of the Pears. 
Sour Cherries, Crab Apples, Bush Cherries, Gooseberries, Currants, Asparagus, Blue- 
berries, and Rhubarb are extremely hardy. 
Raspberries and Blackberries are hardy enough to grow satisfactorily in the far north. 
They can be relied on to come up again from the roots, if they should be damaged 
by extremely low temperatures. 
Planting of Peaches and Apricots, as well as Sweet Cherries, Quinces, Nuts and Plums 
will be more or less of an experiment in the far north. Figs and Boysenberries cannot 
be recommended for planting in extremely northern regions. 
These suggestions and limitations apply only to far northern regions such as Maine, 
New Hampshire, Vermont, Northern New York State (Adirondacks region), Northern 
Michigan, and Northern Wisconsin. You are not limited in your selection if you live 
south of these regions.
