HYPONEX 
Hyponex is a clean, odorless and soluble 
powder, using only one teaspoonful 
with one gallon of water. One pound 
makes 100 gallons of liquid plant food 
complete and balanced; yet because 
it is a powder it can be stored or trans- 
ported easily and there is no spoilage, 
for it keeps indefinitely. 
Hyponex is extremely valuable for 
growing plants in the house. It does 
not matter if the soil around your 
plants may be impoverished, for Hypo- 
nex will grow your plants in sand, cin- 
ders or even the poorest soil. 
With Hyponex and water, plants grow 
luxuriantly, flower abundantly and 
develop sturdy growth regardless of 
the poorness or sterility of the soil.

CARE AFTER PLANTING 
Cultivation: Keep soil loose on top to 
conserve moisture by hoeing shallow- 
ly until the first of August. After 
this time it is well to allow stock to 
harden and mature for wintering. 
Mulching: Grass clippings, straw man- 
ure, or marsh hay will serve instead 
of a dust mulch to conserve moisture 
and keep down weeds where culti- 
vation cannot be given. 
Watering: Water thoroughly rather 
than sprinkle lightly. Give the soil 
all the water it will take at one time. 
No more need be applied for several 
days as a rule when this is done. 
Fertilizing: Barnyard manure is one of 
the best mediums of enriching the 
soil. When this cannot be secured,

a balanced commercial fertilizer may 
be used with good results. 
Trimming: Generally, should be done 
immediately after the bloom fades. 
In this way no blooming wood for 
the following year is cut off. Hy- 
drangeas should be cut back severely 
each fall or spring to increase bloom 
size and general growth of the plant. 
Fruit trees should be kept open in 
the center and pruned yearly to el- 
minate excess wood. Remove all old 
wood on currants and gooseberries 
yearly after fruit is gathered. Rasp- 
berries and Blackberries should re- 
ceive similar treatment, leaving a few 
vigorous stems for the succeeding 
crop. Grapes require severe cutting 
back each spring, early in March be- 
fore the sap starts. Generally, it is 
well to pick first year blossoms on 
fruits to strengthen stocks.
