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 stimu- 
lant. 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.
