Flowers—Fruits—Leaves 
INCREASES YIELDS 
FRUITONE, the hormone spray, helps pollina- 
tion, thus produces better set of fruit. Some va- 
rieties of fruit trees and berry plants that ordi- 
narily do not set fruit unless a male plant is near 
to fertilize the flowers on the female plants, can 
be made to set fruit without the use of pollen, by 
Spraying with FRUITONE when plants are in bloom. 
Spraying with FRUITONE has given as much as 
a 30% increase in yield of Beans; 35 to 50% in- 
crease of Cotton; and 12 more bushels of corn per 
acre. 
FRUITONE stops premature drop of apples and 
other fruits. Contains the same chemicals found by 
the United States Department of Agriculture to be 
most effective. Holds apples on the tree to ma- 
turity of size and color.

ROSETONE 
Helps Roots Start Growing 
Promotes Earlier Blooms 
ROSETONE is a formulation that is carefully bal- 
anced to increase your suc¢ess in planting roses. It 
contains the plant hormones known to be most effec- 
tive in forming new roots, as well as other chemicals 
to encourage their continued growth, 
The roots of a dormant rose plant are inactive. 
Rosetone helps start those roots growing actively and 
producing the feeder roots essential for the life and 
erowth of the plant. Sturdy Rosetone-treated plants 
that start growing more quickly and with more 
feeder roots produce more luxuriant growth and 
earlier blooms than untreated plants.
