Since Gardeners have learned that they can get this “26 unit,” 15% 
Potash Formula for Bulbs (exclusively made by us) our tonnage output, all 
over the country has multiplied about 200 times. Simply unbelievable. 
From Virginia: —Am enclosing my order for your BULB FOOD. The 
gesults of last year’s use were marvelous.” 
From New Jersey: —‘“I bought your BULB FOOD. Results were amazing. 
_No other formulas ever again for me—just yours.”

AMERICA’S ONLY 15% POTASH, 
DISEASE RESISTANT FORMULA 
Five National Dahlia prizes won in 
one year where this formula was 
used. Must be pretty good. 
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% of Potash, so just com- 
pare 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. Full directions on pack- 
age. 
Prove it on a row of Tulips, Hya- 
cinths, 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 elements not found in commercial foods. It’s 
just common sense.

WHAT DOES THIS VOLUNTARY REPORT mean to YOU :—“All my 
Azaleas and acid plants cost 50e 
and were only 5”-6” high five years 
ago. Now my Florist says my oldest ones are worth $25.00 to $50.00 
apiece on the commercial market. I can only thank G&O for all this.”

AMERICA’S HIGHEST ACID FOOD 
You can definitely make them bloom beyond fondest hopes witb 
“HIGH ACID.” 
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 prize-winning big speci- 
mens 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 reaction. 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 enly half the actual ele- 
ments required. 
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 Ibs. of G&O Tobacco Powder (mot 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 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 a 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 feed- 
ing. Just stick to a simple, non-poisonous utility product like G&O 
PLANT SPRAY (page 17) 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).
