THE WORLD’S FINEST PLANT FOOD 
So declared by experts. For Bulbs, Lawns, Flower Gardens. Used exclusively at WAYSIDE 
in the production of millions of fine plants. It is whole-heartedly endorsed for our customers. 
Thousands of customers and strangers alike 
have visited WAYSIDE GARDENS. They have 
marvelled at our 600 miles of plants. They have 
been known to actually gasp for breath at the 
sheer beauty of 400 acres of flowers brought to 
such a high degree of perfection. Invariably, they 
ask us the same question: 
“To what do you attribute the superior qualities 
of your flowers?” 
And invariably our answer is the same: ‘The 
chief reason for the high quality of WAYSIDE 
products is due to the fact that we use only the 
very finest Plant Food that skill and money can 
produce!” 
You will agree that we have entirely too much 
at stake to afford to use any other kind. In addi- 
tion to the enormous investment represented by 
Our nurseries, we have a reputation to maintain 
among thousands of the most critical floral cus- 
tomers in the land. We prize and guard very jeal- 
ously such possessions. . . . Contented only with 
the best we advise our customers to adopt the 
same attitude, in order that the fine specimens 
grown at WAYSIDE may be duplicated in your own 
garden. We recommend only that which we our- 
selves use. 
We Learn from the English 
We are indebted to a noted English gardener for the 
Exclusive Plant Food we use in growing millions of plants of 
superior quality. Among other things, he said: 
“A lawn should not be treated like a hayfield, but 
like a permanent garden. Therefore, | object to chem- 
ical fertilizers for lawns. It is not the QUANTITY of 
grass cut from the lawn each week, but the DENSITY 
AND LUXURIANCE OF THE GRASS which produces 
the effect of walking over a thick velvet carpet that 
counts. If you want a thick lawn in which there is no 
room for weeds, it is essential that you use a properly 
balanced ORGANIC Plant Food——one that sinks deeply 
into the soil for the grass or plant roots to go after. 
That is where the moisture is, and you will find it un- 
necessary to water so much in summer.” 
WAYSIDE’S superior Plant Food is made from bone meal, 
dried blood, ground fish, and muriate of potash, in propor- 
tions recommended by the “‘old country’’ expert. These long- 
lasting ingredients, heavy with life-producing qualities, give 
your flowers a well-balanced diet, containing in just the right 
amounts those things that go to make strong roots, sturdy 
stalks, bright green leaves, a profusion of foliage and an 
abundance of large and healthy blooms year in and year out. 
It does not stimulate, but nourishes any and all plants and 
imparts to them a youthful and lusty vigor. It disintegrates 
slowly. It is excellent to use in bulb plantings as well as in 
Rose beds, or hardy plant borders. Use it consistently year 
after year, and your garden will be among the most beautiful. 
Ideal for Rose Beds and Bulb Plantings 
Also it is excellent for spading into the Rose bed when you 
are preparing the Rose bed for winter. Use it generously in 
your bulb plantings and in any hardy flower border. 
In late summer and autumn your soil is in better condition
