2 to 3 ft. trees—one gallon liquid RA-PID-GRO. Add one-half gallon 
liquid RA-PID-GRO to every foot above this. On large trees, 4 inches or 
better in diameter, make holes around the base of tree, from 1 ft. to 2 ft. 
in depth, as far out as the spread of the branches. Fill these holes with 
liquid RA-PID-GRO. Do this each month during the growing season. 
LAWNS 
As soon as seed is sown, take a sprinkling can, use one teaspoonful to each 
quart of water. Sprinkle well until top earth is well dampened. Feed every 
ten days for two months, once a month thereafter. Old lawns, feed the same. 
Use Tri-Con Sprayer for speedy application.

TRI-CON FERTILIZING UNIT NO. 500 
For use with RA-PID-GRO on Lawns and for Foilage Feeding we recom- 
mend the TRI-CON Lawn Fertilizing Unit. 
The new TRI-CON method soaks the RA-PID-GRO fertilizer in as you 
apply it. Gardeners everywhere acclaim it as the best method ever devised for 
even, safe, effective distribution. Puts the stimulating, soluble material directly 
where it is immediately available. Embodies new principle in fertilizer appliers. 
No mussy pre-mixing is necessary. Fertilizer placed in jar according to manu- 
facturers instruction in dry, concentrated form; comes out in liquid form, auto- 
matically, properly mixed with plenty of water. 
After applying fertilizer, the patented reversible cap instantly converts gun 
into pistol grip hose nozzle. Sprinkler base also furnished for use as stationary 
sprinkler. 
The ratio of the amount of water to the fertilizer remains the same, re- 
gardless of water pressure. The pressure does not affect the strength of the 
solution. It does control the speed with which the jar is emptied—the higher the
