WAYSIDE GARDENS each year. They have marvelled at 
our plants. They have been known to actually gasp for 
breath at the sheer beauty of 400 acres of flowers 
brought to such a high degree of perfection. Invariably, 
they ask us the same question: 
“To what do you attribute the superior qualities of 
your flowers?”’ 
And invariably our answer is the same: ‘The chief 
reason for the high quality of WAYSIDE products is due 
to the fact that we use only the very finest Plant Food 
We Learn from the English About Lawns 
We are indebted to a noted English gardener for the 
Exclusive Plant Food we use in growing thousands of 
plants of superior quality. Among other things, he said: 
that skill and money can produce!” 
You will agree that we have entirely too much at 
stake to afford to use any other kind. In addition to the 
enormous investment represented by our nurseries, we 
have a reputation to maintain among thousands of the 
most critical floral customers in the land. We prize and 
guard very jealously such possessions . . Contented 
only with the best, we advise our customers to adopt the 
same attitude, in order that the fine specimens grown 
at WAYSIDE may be duplicated in your own garden. We 
recommend only that which we ourselves use.

“A lawn should not be treated like a hayfield, but 
like a permanent garden. Therefore, | object to chem- 
ical fertilizers for lawns. It is not the QUANTITY of 
grass cut from the lawn each week, but the DENSITY 
AND LUXURIANCE OF THE GRASS which produces 
the effect of walking over a thick velvet carpet that 
counts. If you want a thick lawn in which there is no 
room for weeds, it is essential that you use a proper- 
ly balanced ORGANIC Plant Food—one that sinks 
deeply into the soil for the grass or plant roots to go 
after. That is where the moisture is, and you will find 
it unnecessary to water so much in summer.” 
WAYSIDE’S superior Plant Food is made from bone 
meal, dried blood, ground fish, and muriate of potash,
