PoKON 
PLANT FOOD 
“Imported direct from Holland” 
DOES NOT CONTAIN CHLORIDE 
WHICH BURNS THE ROOTS 
We use Pokon in our African Violet greenhouses regularly. 
Our customers who have used this product from Holland for 
eight years send us unsolicited testimonials like this one, received 
in August 1952, from Mrs. H. B., of Greensburg, Indiana — 
“I just had to drop a line about Pokon. I have had wonderful 
results. All my neighbors just “Oh” and “Ah” about the large 
and many blooms on my violets. Some of them are common 
kinds but they surely don’t look it when I use Pokon.” 
If YOU have had trouble getting your African Violets to 
bloom, the trouble might lie in the fertilizer you have been using, 
for violet roots are tender and chloride and wrong fertilizer can 
ruin your collection in no time at all. 
Here’s what you should do. Compare the analysis of Pokon 
(16-21-27) with whatever you’ve been using, and notice the high 
concentration of nutritive elements which has made Pokon world 
known. Pokon dissolves instantly and completely. Odorless. Simply 
dissolve a teaspoon of the crystals in a quart of water, use this 
every other week. Left over solution can be saved till used up. 
Here’s what Pokon costs: Just 4 cents a plant a year! You 
must feed your plants for biggest flowers, and you will notice 
the difference at once, for Pokon promotes stronger root systems 
and richer darker foliage, PLUS longer lasting flowers!
