{ What Users say about RA-PID-GRO 
Gentlemen: 
My small garden has improved so much under the RA-PID-CRO treatment 
that I no longer use other fertilizers except for digging in peat moss and 
rotted manure in the fall, and my plants are stronger and have more blooms 
than ever before. Wm. C. Butler 
1810 Newton Avenue North, 
Minneapolis 11, Minn. 
Dear Sirs: 
Lact year I foolishly tried a different growing product, and had-a garden 
and flowers that I was truly ashamed of. So | am going back to old reliable 
RA PIDGRO. I had used this for several years, and everyone admired 
my yard and garden. Sincerely, 
Mrs. O. W. Howe 
Dear Sirs: 
I think it (RA-PID-GRO) is the most wonderful plant food in the world. 
I had sickly, scrawny plants, especially my Roses, and after treating them 
with RA-PID-GRO, they are thick with lovely green leaves and twice as high, 
and they are really beautiful. Sincerely, 
Mrs. Charles Cohan 
24 Edgemont Road, 
East Braintree, Massachusetts 
Dear Sirs: 
I would never think of having a garden without it (RA-PID-GRO). Last 
summer in spite of a severe drouth, we grew Sweet Peas over seven feet 
tall, loaded with bloom until frost, late in October. Sincerely, 
Mrs. Katherine Chapin
