WHAT NEXT... 
The next best thing is a fertilizer or plant 
food as nearly as possible composed of organic 
materials such as we use at Wayside and is sold 
by us under the name of ‘’Wayside Gardens 
Plant Food.’’ We use tons of it ourselves. 
LIQUID FERTILIZER 
How often problems present themselves in a 
garden where a quick-acting fertilizer may save 
the day. This would be particularly the case in 
feeding something which must make a quick or 
faster growth to perform properly before the 
fertilizers have their use and are very he’ 
ot he USE of 
(Water Soluble FERTILIZER 
First of all, there are no miracle fertilizers which perfom: miraculous results. Water soluble 
Ipfui if properly used. When quick, seasonable growth 
is desired but cannot otherwise be obtained because of poor soil conditions, water soluble 
fertilizers supply a quantity of fast acting food elements that are quickly dissipated or 
gradually leach through the soil. } 
We must remember—plants are living things and like humans require a constant supply 
of food and drink to remain strong, healthy and able to resist disease. The only correct way 
to grow good, rugged, winter-hardy plants, Roses and shrubs which are! considered permanent 
garden subjects is in good soil properly prepared in the beginning. Through the years fer- 
tility is best and safest maintained by the application of well rotted barnyard manure. The 
trouble is, this is hard if not impossible to obtain and in addition, difficult to apply. It also 
unavoidably presents a weed problem. 
FAST ACTING 
Wayside Gardens Water Soluble Fertilizer goes 
to work at once feeding plants and trees—sup- 
plying all the essential food elements for a 
quick pickup; thereby, enabling plants, trees or 
shrubs to perform satisfactorily for that ‘season. 
ODORLESS—EASY TO USE 
This liquid fertilizer is a highly efficient and 
super-active plant food. Merely dissolve one 
tablespoonful of water soluble fertilizer in one 
gallon of water then apply in accordance with 
OR 
Mix one table- 
spoon of Water Sol- 
uble Fertilizer with water as indicated on the 
Fertl-Rain Sprayer bottle and shake well. Attach 
Fertl-Rain Sprayer to the garden hose and ap- 
ply as a spray to the foliage as well as the soil. 
Nutriments will be taken up by the leaves and 
will not burn foliage or flowers.
