GREEN THUMB Liquid PLANT FOODS 
Easy to Use—Just Like Watering 
Since we listed Green Thumb in our 
catalog six years ago, we have received 
hundreds of letters from our customers 
telling us how clean and easy it is to 
use, and how much good it did their 
lawn and shrubs and trees and flowers 
and vegetables and house plants.

Costs Less 
One package of 16 ounces makes 30 
gallons of liquid fertilizer. Directions 
on container tell how much to. use for 
various plants, and your lawn, and you'll 
be surprised how little it costs to fer- 
tilize with Green Thumb. 
Goes to Work Right NOW! 
You just mix 1 tablespoonful with a gallon of water and you 
have liquid plant foods—a clear, green liquid—odorless and 
non-poisonous—and it contains the nutrition growing things 
need. And, being liquid, it goes directly ; 
to the roots so the plants perk up right 
away. 
oa Faewe 
No Mess—No: Mixing—No Digging 
If your plants get hungry and sickly, 
with yellowish leaves, stunted growth, 
small fruit and colorless flowers, they 
need food and water and cultivation. 
Now you can spend hours fertilizing 
these hungry plants, or you can use 
Green Thumb and do a good job in a 
short time. And we don’t know of 
anything better for starting newly 
planted things off right.
