The right amount of Dried Blood, Meat Tankage, Bone, Fish Scrap, 
Vegetable Meal, etc., Trace Elements, Neutro Phorphorous and a 30-day 
“starter” of Nitrogen to feed gradually so that the April feeding carries into 
August and the latter month dose to late November. All this means better 
and larger blooms, stock, foliage, color and even smell. 
We are making it possible for those who only have a half dozen Rose 
bushes (Hybrids, Climbers, etc.) but who really love them, to buy as little 
as one (1) pound. 
Feed them the G&O way and you can develop an “anemic” bush into 
something you really admire. Full directions on each package. 
Probably the best assurance we can give you for the use of G&O Rose 
Food is that we have Commercial Grower customers who buy carloads of 
this formula and then voluntarily publicize its unusual performance as 
speakers at Rose Conventions. You probably admit with us that no one 
spends $1,500.00 to $3,000.00 for anything, unless it pays them well to do it. 
Millions of readers of Garden literature know its merits so well that even 
when it has been somewhat “buried” in our general publicity, its demand 
multiplies each year, not only on direct mail business but in the thousands 
of stores and millions of catalogues. 
WHY—BECAUSE. It’s nothing short of an outright insult to any 
Rosarian (with 3 or 300 Roses) to offer a general chemical food claimed 
to be just as good for trees, grain, cabbage, camellias, spinach, lawns, etc., 
as for Roses. 
ISN’T THIS ENOUGH PROOF? 
We shortly expect to publish a story and picture of what one feeding of 
G&O ROSE FOOD did for a large arbor of PAUL SCARLETT climbers 
owned by a western Pennsylvania Doctor. 
As he voluntarily reported “Hardly ever saw a bloom in seven years after 
planting. I gave them ONE feeding of G&O see FOOD and they literally 
went crazy with a mass of solid, firm, true colored and magnificent Roses so 
outstanding, in fact, that a Kodachrome Photograph of this Arbor in bloom 
was selected from sixty other and varied photos to go on tour of Photographic 
Societies all over the U.S.A.” 
We could actually fill all 32 pages of this F.S.B. with unbelievable and 
entirely voluntary praise of G&O ROSE FOOD and ALL THIS, believe it 
or not, in face of the fact that G&O ROSE FOOD sells for about 15% less 
than competitive store prices. That’s what “biggest production” can do. 
Rose Foods. combined and HERE IS THE EVIDENCE. 
And Then HOW TO PLANT 
AND FEED A ROSE BUSH. 
We are asked right along for our ideas of Planting and Feeding Roses, also 
Rhododendrons, Azaleas and other acid plants. The only sure way of knowing 
the value of such information is to “put it to work” for a few selected plants 
and determine results for yourself. 
ROSES (Already Planted) 
1—Love a friable, dampish (not wet) soil. Work into the soil 3” deep two (2) 
cupfuls of finely powdered Tobacco Powder (page 11) all around the bush 
and 6” from it. Do this during April or May or when bud leaf first appears. 
Wer down. 
2—During early May (regardless of when the Tobacco Powder is applied) 
apply one (1) cupful of GkO ROSE FOOD to a 2 year and older bush, 6” 
from stalk and all around the bush in a circular trench 3” deep. Place 
a thin layer of grass clippings on top of the Food in the trench and then 
twice fill trench with water and let it soak in before replacing earth in 
trench to ground level. 
3—All during the Summer, work the lawn clippings into the Rose bed earth 
as deep as possible. 
4—During early July—Repeat No. 1. 
5—During early August—Repeat No. 2. 
NOTE: If the above seems like too much work, just remember—it isn’t. Roses 
need a lot of attention but they respond beautifully to that attention. 
PLANTING A NEW ROSE BUSH 
Dig the hole wide enough to 
accommodate the longest root. 
Deep enough to bring the graft- 
ing bud to greund level. Put a 
few flat stones at the bottom of 
the hole and cover with 3” of 
grass clippings, straw or peat 
moss and then 2” of sifted earth. 
Sift the balance of the earth dug 
from hole and with this mix two 
(2) cupfuls of G&O 
ROSE FOOD and the 
same amount of fine 
Tobacco Powder. Fill 
the hole half way up. 
Use enough water at 
this point to almost 
make a mud of the 
earth in the hole. Finally com- 
plete the filling of the hole and 
wet down again, using half as 
much water this time. 
Always insist on the package with the 
big red rose pictured thereen and the 
No-Filler & Ingredient statements. Never 
accept a substitute.
