The only and original nationally recognized highest organic 
food for all varieties of Roses. 
Probably outsells all other 
Rose Foods combined and HERE IS THE EVIDENCE. 
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 Novem- 
ber. 
larger blooms, stock, foliage, color 
All this means better and 
and even smell. 
ROSE FOOD) 
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. 
ORGANIC e NO-FILLER® LASTING 
G&O Rose Food had to be graduated with 
“cum laude” honors after four years of 
“change this” and “add that” with probably 
the largest Rose Grower in America, be- 
fore being marketed. 
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 vol- 
untarily publicize its unusual performance 
as speakers at Rose Conventions. You prob- 
ably admit with us that no one spends 
$1,500.00 to $3,000.00 for anything, unless 
it pays them well to do it. 
One of New Orleans largest handlers of Garden Products, including 
carloads of G&O ROSE FOOD, reported about a month ago that it was rumored his 
company was going to make their own Rose Food and he said, “I’m worried about that 
report because we have a very big ROSE SOCIETY down here whose members just 
won't buy any other kind of ROSE FOOD but G&O—your price is less and the blood, 
fish and cottonseed meal gets them results every year.” That same company, it might be 
added, will handle maybe up to ten carloads in 1954 with their big demand in G&O 
ROSE FOOD. 
We can reprint voluntary testimonials from Maine to California, but 
what's the use of all that even if space allowed. A purchase by you of a ONE POUND 
will settle the question regardless of who says what.

HOW TO PLANT 
AND 
FEED A ROSE BUSH. 
We are asked right along for out ideas of 
Planting and Feeding Roses, also Rhodo- 
dendrons, 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) cup- 
fuls 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. Wet down. 
2—During early May (regardless of when 
the Tobacco Powder is applied) apply 
one (1) cupful of G&O 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 beauti- 
fully to that attention. 
PLANTING A NEW ROSE BUSH 
Dig the hole wide enough to accommo- 
date the longest root. Deep enough to bring 
the grafting bud to ground 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 
complete 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 thereon and the No-Filler & Ingredient 
statements. Never accept a substitute.
