Sawco Prize-Winner Fertilizer 
For the Greenhouse 
and Garden — 
We asked a leading fertilizer manufacturer what be would use to produce prize-winning Roses, Chrysanthemums, 
ac auaie Cinerarias and other flowers; prize-winning vegetables and fruits regardless of the scarcity of ingredients 
or their cost. 
He came up with this 7-12-4 Formula, which “will grow hair on a billiard ball,” to use his words. It contains blood, 
bone, tankage, and other wonder-working organic materials, for lasting effect; along with basic slag, nitrate, sulphate of 
ammonia and of potash, etc. for immediate results. The whole finely screened. A pure, high quality product, well worth 
Its cost. 
Mix 5 pounds to a wheelbarrow of soil; outdoors dig under \Y4Ib. to each 10 sq. ft. Side-dress during growth every 
two weeks. 5 Ibs. $1.25, 10 Ibs. $2, 25 Ibs. $4.50, 50 Ibs. $8, 100 Ibs. $15. 
natural organic materials 
\ in each 100 Ibs. For vege- 
tables, flowers and fruit. 
Recommended strongly as 
the best for all-round work 
in the garden. Use it at the 
rate of 1000 pounds to the 
acre or 3 ounces to the square yard when preparing land for planting 
in the spring. Good practice, too, is to spread General Garden 
Fertilizer between the rows of plants when they are growing and 
then to hoe it into the soil; use about 3 pounds per 100 running feet 
for this, repeating every month. When planting beans, cucumbers, 
etc., in hills, a handful worked into the soil under the hill will be a 
great help, and the same thing may be done when planting tomatoes, 
cabbages, peppers, peonies, etc. Before sowing seeds in rows a little 
General Garden Fertilizer may be placed in the drill and the soil 
stirred to mix it thoroughly. 5 Ibs. 60 cts., 10 Ibs. $1, 25 Ibs. $2, 50 Ibs.

THE BALANCED 
PLANT F000 
THE TRACE ELEMENTS 
Plants need the “big four’ chemical elements—lime, nitrogen, 
- phosphorus and potash. In addition, they must have the “trace’’ 
elements, also essential for normal growth, but required only in 
small (or trace) amounts. They include magnesium, sodium, sulphur, 
iron, manganese and many others. There are enough trace elements 
in most fertile soils, but the short supply of one or more of them may 
account for sickly, stunted plants. 
_ NEW YORK 8, N.Y. 
Shortage of trace elements means “hidden hunger.” Hidden hunger 
affects plants in many different ways such as by fired corn, tomato 
blight and die-back. 
ne way to add trace elements is to use organic manures like 
Bonemeal and Sawco Fertilizers, which contain a high proportion of 
organic ingredients mixed with the “big four’? chemicals. A second 
way is to water your plants with a solution of Trace-L offered ahove.
