The label on the sack 
can’t tell it all 
You can buy a packet of seed ’most any- 
where, nowadays. But experienced garden- 
ers come fo the seedsman. Not only because 
they know his seed is good, but because they 
know he’s a good man fo work with. He’s not 
just selling seed ... he’s giving a year- 
round service. 
Same way with the plant foods you need to 
get the most out of the seed. It’s only logical 
to get them from someone who really knows 
what they’re for! 
There’s a lot more to fertilizing than the 
knowledge you get from instructions on the 
sack. Feeding a garden right can be quite 
a problem. 
That’s why we say, “Talk it over with us!” 
We don't just sell plant foods. We want to 
help all we can to make sure you get results. 
Whether it’s window box or a hundred acres to 
be fed—we have the right food and the “know- 
how” and the desire to help!
