30 THE DANIELS NURSERY 

The Most Practical Horticultural Handbook for the Northwest! 
A NEW, PRACTICAL, HELPFUL BOOK 
FOR THE HOME GARDENER 
“LIVE AT HOME... AND LIKE IT” 
By FRANC P. DANIELS 
@ The first of its kind and just for the Northwest. 
@ 120 pages “cram-packed” full of the anwers to the questions every Home Gardener 
asks himself 100 times a month. 
@ Just the book Mr. Average Homeowner has longed for. In simple, understandable 
language it tells the “When, Why and How” of practical gardening. 
@ Pocket size—5i by 71 inches—convenient to handle and easy to read. 
@ It is of equal value to the small home dweller, the owner of an estate and the com- 
mercial grower. 
@ Written by a man who has spent 38 years in practical horticultural work—teaching, 
“preaching,” but most important, practicing everything he has written. 
Written for the Northwest and our exacting conditions, which can be said of no 
other book that contains all this material. Most books, and most magazines are 
written for the entire United States of America and of necessity contain much ma- 
terial that is irrelevant and confusing for us here in the Northwest. 
What would you give for the privilige of sitting down with a real gardening expert 
—one who knows not only the technical angles but who has had a lifetime of prac- 
tical experience in fruit, vegetable and landscape work—and asking him the answers

DANNY SAYS: 
Search the libraries—but you’ll find no other book so 
filled with helpful information for the northern planter, 
“The book contains so much infor- 
mation that it may well be consid- 
ered a reference book, and yet it is 
readable and entertaining withal.”

FERTILIZERS—If a soil were ideal it 
would contain all the food necessary to 
the growth of plants. But then, different 
plants require different foods, and rarely 
is the ideal soil found. We must provide 
the missing elements. We can furnish you 
with organic fertilizer in the form of well 
rotted barnyard manure, Milorganite and 
Bone Meal or inorganic fertilizers as 
Vigoro, Ammonium Sulphate and other 
materials.

variably do better than those which 
go in late in the season. Why not
