HYPONEX PLANT FOOD 
Most house plants suffer from improper 
feeding. Plants should be fed continually 
just as house pets are. Even if the pot 
soil did contain all the necessary fertilizer 
when potted, it is continually consumed by 
the plant during its growth. Sooner or 
later, according to the type of plant, the 
pot soil is depleted of all plant food. 
Starved plants show different symptoms 
in different plants. Some stop growing. 
Flowering plants stop blooming or drop 
their blossoms before fully developed. 
Some plants become spindly, the leaves of 
others turn color and drop off. More sun 
will usually hasten the plant’s death— 
more water induces rot. When the soil is 
exhausted the plant too will soon become 
exhausted and die. 
Hyponex is a plant food for your house 
plants, flower or vegetable gardens, trees, 
lawns, greenhouses, etc. Hyponex is a 
powder; when mixed with water it is a 
complete and balanced plant food. Plants 
fed with Hyponex may be grown without 
soil in such materials as stones, cinders, 
white sand, etc. Hyponex is economical 
and clean to use. No weeds or harmful 
epee are planted with this type fer- 
tilizer. 
A teaspoonful of Hyponex makes a gal- 
lon of liquid plant food. A 1-pound can 
is sufficient to make 100 gallons. Available 
in 25c (3 oz.) and $1.00 (1 Ib.) size cans. 
MEDICINE ALOES 
This plant is better known in the tropics 
where it has been used since remote ages 
for its medicinal properties. The virtues 
are contained in the very thick leaves 
which have a clear salve-like juice. The 
fresh juice is applied directly for skin 
rash, insect bites, sunburn, chapped hands, 
ete. For minor burns the aloe leaf is sliced 
and the juicy part applied directly to the 
burn. Bandage to keep aloe in place. Re- 
new as often as desired. This has a very 
soothing and cooling effect. For sore gums 
caused by false teeth plates, apply aloe 
juice directly to the gums. Aloe may be 
taken internally by the following method. 
Slice a section of the leaf and place in cold 
water, allowing it to remain in water 10 
minutes or longer. Strain and drink wa- 
ter. Aloe is easily grown in tropics. They 
make excellent house plants, requiring lit- 
tle care and very little watering. A leaf, 
removed from the plant, may be kept for 
weeks. The severed end seals itself, but 
leaves are best kept hanging in a dry 
location.
