HYPONEX Brings Amazingly Q 
Healthy Plant Growth... 
Here are reproductions from a few of the hundreds of photo- 
graphic records made of HYPONEX results. A study of com- 
parative plants, revealed by the insets, shows the remarkable 
effect of HYPONEX feeding. Quick, sturdy growth comes to 
plants raised in soil, sand, water (hydroponics) and even 
cinders because HYPONEX is ALL FOOD properly balanced 
to nourish correctly every part of the plant — root, stock, 
foliage and fruit. With seedlings and cuttings in sand culture 
tests have shown HYPONEX feeding gives highest percentage 
of seed germination and virtually eliminates damping off; it 
produces quicker, healthier root growth with resulting plants 
less liable to various ills. With HYPONEX no tank storage of 
fertilizer is required. It is not hydroscopic and never becomes 
pasty or damp in the humid conditions of the greenhouse. It 
is clean and odorless, dissolving without sediment when added 
to water. It is economical because normal feeding requirements 
call for but one ounce of HYPONEX to 6 gallons of water. 
Growers and Horticultural Magazines 
Praise HYPONEX ... 
Many articles have appeared in such magazines as Florists 
Exchange telling of the remarkable experiences growers have 
had with HYPONEX. Growers themselves have written in 
telling of HYPONEX value to them in the production of 
seedlings and plants. One such report given by Thimm 
Brothers, Inc., Roslyn, N. Y., and which appeared in a maga- 
zine article, says in part: “Benches were filled with clean, 
washed sand. Seeds were sown in rows and watered 
with HYPONEX at the rate of one teaspoonful to 
4 gallons of water. With every item sown the ger- 
mination was practically 100% with no damping 
off .. . Feeding solution of HYPONEX was applied 
3 times weekly after seedlings had started. Such 
feeding actually produced far heavier root systems 
than in soil . . . Millions of plants have been 
produced in Thimm’s greenhouses by this system.” 
These Mums shown growing in Thimm Brothers’ Greenhouse 
Roslyn, Long Island, were raised entirely by HYPONEX 
feeding in soil that was not changed nor sterilized. Mr. Curt 
Thimm reported that these plants were better than average 
and produced a heavy cutting of excellent flowers. 
Comparison 
of Peanut 
Growth... 
Showing excellence 
of root growth and 
heavier yield, this il- 
lustration of peanut 
plants gives positive 
proof of HYPONEX 
value. Plant shown 
at left was grown in 
sand and fed exclus- 
ively with HY PONEX. 
Plant at right, same 
age, was grown in 
soil and fed with a 
commercial fertilizer. 
HYPONEX fed plants 
show the results of 
proper feeding 
through better devel- 
oped root systems. 
Such root systems 
produce better stocks 
and foliage and thus 
make the plants more 
prolific in blossom 
and fruit bearing.

entlemen: 
In reply to your inquiry regarding the results we have obtained through the use 
of your product HYPONEX, we are pleased to report as follows: 
We find that HYPONEX gives us better results than any other completely soluable 
plant food we have used. Prior to government regulations restricting the use of HYPONEX 
for vegetables only, we were using it on plants from the seed planting period through the 
entire life cycle of the plant, including seedlings, cuttings, transplanting and yenersl 
feeding. However, during this past spring we have confined the use of HYPONEX to versetable 
seedlings and transplants. 
SEEDS— Instead of using soil as a medium for growing seedlings and using plain 
water to furnish moisture and to release the food elements from the soil, we now use clean 
sand (washed free of soil or clay) and feed HYPONEX to the plant according to your diract- 
ions—one quarter teaspoonful per gallon of water. This sand culture method has several 
advantages over the old soil culture method. In the first place clean sand is free from 
disease elements, permits ample air penetration, therefore retains no excess moisture 
which eliminates dampening off. By this method we are consistently getting one hundred 
percent germination of all types of seeds. 
SEEDLINGS- After seeds sprout we increase the concentration of HYPONEX to two 
teaspoonfuls per gallon of water and feed three times per week using plain water in the 
meantime. Due to the constant and immediate availability of nutrient elements in proper 
balance, the root system is better i.e. are longer and many times more feeding roots are 
produced, which of course makes a sturdy well balanced young plant. If we use soil and 
eliminate HYPONEZ, the young seedlings grow with one main tap root with very few feeding 
roots. We find also that by using the sand cult re method and feeding with HYPONEX, we 
can control the growth of the seedling. If moisture is withheld plants momentarily stop 
growing. This often is necessary due to labor shortage, etc. On the other hand it is 
difficult to control young plants growing in soil. We find also that seedlings grow more 
uniformly in size by sand culture method than by the soil culture method.  ~— 
TRANSPLANTING- After transplanting we give an application of HYPONEX which 
starts the young plant growing at once. This eliminates the shock of transplanting which 
was usually encountered before we started using HYPONEX. Due to the fact that HYPONEX 
is soluable and contains all of the elements needed by the plant, roots begin to take hold 
without waiting for food to be made available from the soil, providing it is there at all. 
In summation of this letter we want you to kmow that we are extremely pleased 
with the product. By the use of HYPONEX inside of the greenhouse, or outside in the fields 
we save time, grow better plants, and the farmers and Victory gardeners we sell to are suat- 
isfied. We have had four years experience with the use of HYPONEX on all varieties of 
plants, and we find that it really does the work. In fact next year instead of growing 
approximately 1,000,000 transplants, we expect to double the production and uge HYPONLX 
for growing all of them. 
Very truly yours,

“We find that HYPONEX gives us better results than any other completely 
soluble plant food we have used,” says Curt Thimm, Jr., President of Thimm 
Brothers, Inc., in the letter reproduced above. This letter is one of hundreds 
received telling of amazing results from HYPONEX use. 
4) HY PONEX Does Not Burn e e e Feeding 
plants with HYPONEX is relatively simple because of its safety. It is 
readily soluble and may be applied with sprinkling can, or by a “HOZON” 
applicator where large areas or beds are to be fed by means of the regular 
=) 
watering system. It is equally effective on lawns, shrubs, trees and various 
types of plants. It can be used indoors or outdoors. It has no odor and 
remains in dry powder form until mixed with water in feeding solution.
