with this complete, 
balanced diet 


Vigoro is a scientifically prepared fertilizer con- 
taining all of the elements needed by plants. Thus 
it can be used in much smaller quantities and will 
give far better results than stable manure or ordinary 
fertilizers. Owing to the balanced ration supplied in 
Vigoro the flowers are more beautiful and healthy, 
the vegetables produce finer specimens and ripen to 
perfection, the lawn stays green and does not die out, 
and the shrubs thrive and prove a joy to the owner. 
Vigoro is essentially a fertilizer for the gardener who 
wants to grow the best. It may cost a little more per 
hundred pounds, but it contains more plant food, so 
does not have to be used so heavily as ordinary ferti- 
izers and in the end Vigoro is the cheapest fertilizer 
you can get. .

Turnips 
Turnip seed may be sowed in the early spring or 
fall. The soil should be very rich, well pulverizec, 
and the seed should not be covered more than one- 
half inch deep. It is better to sow just after a good 
rain when the soil has sufficient moisture in it to 
assure germination. Use one ounce of seed to every 
one hundred square feet or three to five pounds per 
acre.
