DAHLIA — GLADIOLA — LILY 
HYACINTHS, IRIS, PEONIES, 
DAFFODILS, NARCISSUS, ETC. 
AMERICA’S ONLY 15% POTASH 
DISEASE RESISTANT FORMULA. 
Five National Dahlia prizes won in one year 
where only this formula was used. Match 
that record. 
Just as in the case of Roses and the acid loving plants that 
must have that certain “something” commercial garden 
fertilizers can’t possibly provide, here we have Bulbous 
plants that go “crazy” for excess Potash. 
The leading Dahlia growers demand at least 10% ot 
Potash, so just compare that requirement with these “do 
everything” market grades of 4%—7% and 8% Potash— 
totally inadequate. 
Our Food is 5% Nitrogen, 6% Phosphorus and 
15% POTASH, and this 15% Potash with our 
“Glad” and DAHLIA prizewinning amateurs is 
known to dozens of societies who hold their Autumn 
Shows, including National winners. 
A tablespoonful per plant of this Food in Spring, July, 
and again in August has meant many a prize and all due 
to that excess Potash. 
Prove it on a row of Tulips, Hyacinths, Daffodils, etc. 
Like humans and animals there are certain 
groups of plants that just can’t and won’t produce 
on food that is deficient in particularly needed ele- 
ments not found in commercial foods. It’s just com- 
mon sense.

You can definitely make them bloom beyond fondest hopes with “HIGH ACID” 
Look at most of these plantings in any section and, to say the least, most of them, whether 
Hybrids or wild grown, look scrawny and they rarely bloom. 
We consider them as beautiful as any “ornamentals” ever grown so began work 20 years 
ago to find the answer. 
Try as little as 5 pounds. Apply in April, again in early June and again in September. Four 
cupfuls to a plant 3 feet high with a 3 to 5 foot spread. Work it in 2 inches and soak down 
with water. 
“You'll wonder where all the new, dark green foliage came from and why those same buds 
never before opened into beautiful big flowers. Our 3-20-3 (highest of all Acid food) has 
been responsible for more prize-winning big specimens at the largest Flower Shows. Not 
unusual for us to get mail orders from ordinary home growers for ton quantities after a 
trial with as little as 25 pounds. These beautiful decorative and screening plants needn't look 
like “skeletons” any more. 
A heavy acid soil is nearly the whole answer to satisfactory plants in this group. 
Acidity is expressed in terms of pH. A 7 pH soil is considered neutral in re- 
action. Above 7 pH is alkaline and below is on the acid side. Some growers like 
a pH of 6.5 but try for around 5 pH and notice the amazing difference. That’s 
where our 3-20-3 counts every time. Vs. so-called formulas with only half the 
actual element required. | 5 
Try this, too—Save apple parings and tea leaves and we especially recommend TOBACCO 
POWDER (page 11) worked into the soil all around these plants for three good reasons: 
(1) The pH goes down; the acidity goes up. 
(2) The soil is made friable and “woodsy” (like forest soil). 
(3) Those white root maggots are controlled. 
1—DO THIS BEFORE END OF APRIL: Prong up the already planted beds to a depth 
of 2” to 3” being careful not to tear surface roots too much. Now apply 5-10 lbs. of 
G&O Tobacco Powder (not coarse or flake tobacco) to 100 sq. ft. of soil. Soak with water. 
2—A MONTH LATER: For plants about 3’ high and the same size spread, broadcast by 
hand two glassfuls (tumbler size) of G&O 3-20-3 Acid Food (page 8) evenly over 
earth from stalk or trunk, all around and out to the spread of the branches. Prong it in 
and flush with water. If any roots are exposed by reason of “wash” or erosion, cover up 
and level earth off. 
3—DURING AUGUST—Repeat No. 2. 
SPRAYING ALL THESE PLANTS is almost as important as feeding. Just stick to a simple, 
non-poisonous utility product like G&O PLANT SPRAY (page 27) that kills about every 
bug and type of scale ever infesting a garden of flowers, vegetables, shrubs, etc. When Black 
Spot, Blight, Mildew, Rust, etc., comes along, add either Wettable or Dusting Sulphur and 
you’ve done a perfect job, 9 out of 10 times. (See page 14).
