TAKE-HOLD — Starter Solution 
Fast-Acting, All-Soluble Fertilizer 
Very economical 10-52-17 analysis. The high 
phosphates are just what plants need to with- 
stand transplanting and promote early growth. 
Use it directly on the plants several days be- 
fore setting in the field and also add it to the 
transplanting water. We use it for all the 
plants we set out, with excellent results. It 
gives the plants a boost, stimulates rapid 
growth and helps them to ripen earlier. Rec- 
ommended for cabbage, cauliflower, peppers, 
tomatoes and other transplanted crops. 3 lbs. 
to 50 gal. of water. 
3 Lbs. $1.35; 12 Lbs. $3.75 postpaid to 5th zone. 
Not paid: 50 Lbs. $11.50. 
NUTRI-LEAF 
Soluble Fertilizer 
Feeds Plants through the Leaves 
This complete plant food has a 16-16-16 analy- 
sis together with all needed trace elements. 
Plants can actually absorb this fertilizer di- 
rectly through the leaves, and of course it is 
quickly available through the roots if applied 
to the soil. Simply dissolve in water (1 oz. to 
a gal. or 6 lbs. per 100 gal.) and spray directly 
on the plants. May be used repeatedly with 
excellent effect. Combines well with insecti- 
cide and fungicide sprays. In most cases 
where soil or weather conditions makes nor- 
mal growth difficult, foliage-feeding will 
greatly improve the growth, and this is the 
best material we have tried.
