ROSES: For perfect 
bloom and growth, Roses re- 
quire special plant food. 
AGRICO ROSE FOOD pro- 
vides a just-right combina- 
tion of all essential elements, 
both organic and inorganic. 
] Insist on healthy, field-grown plants. 
y) Plant in well-drained soil. Dormant plants should be 
planted in early Spring or late Fall. 
3 Feed with AGRICO ROSE FOOD Spring and Fall, 
following directions on bag for new and old plantings. 
4 Spray regularly to prevent insect and fungus diseases. 
5 Bulbs, too! Agrico Rose Food is better ‘n bone meal 
because it contains potash, so necessary for bulbs, 
which bone meal doesn’t contain. 
TREES: Apply AGRICO FOR LAWNS, TREES 
AND SHRUBS twice a year—in Spring and late 
Fall after the leaves have fallen. Follow these 
directions: 
] Draw an imaginary circle 
around the tree, just beyond 
outside limit of branches—and 
another circle two-thirds of way 
toward the trunk. The area be- 
tween these two circles is the 
portion to be fertilized. 
2 Make holes about two feet 
apart and 18 inches deep with 
a soil auger or crow bar. 
Feeding trees 
3 Pour AGRICO into these holes. For young trees use 1 
to 2 lbs. (1 pt. to 1 qt.) for each inch of tree diameter, 
at its base. For older trees, increase amount up to 3 to 4 
lbs. for each inch of tree diameter. Divide fertilizer so that 
equal amount is placed in each hole. 
VECETABLES : Feed vegetables the same 
way as flowers. AGRICO FOR GARDENS helps 
produce crisp, tender, delicious vegetables, rich 
in health-giving minerals and vitamins. 
SHRUBS: 1 When planting or transplanting, mix 
e 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of AGRICO FOR 
LAWNS, TREES AND SHRUBS thoroughly with soil in 
bottom of hole. Cover with one inch fine soil; also mix 1 
tablespoonful with each gallon of filling soil. 
y) Feed established small shrubs 1 tablespoonful AGRICO 
per square foot one week before growth starts and 
again in early Summer. Apply in area 11/4 times spread of 
branches. Work lightly into soil. 
3 Feed large shrubs and lilacs one week before growth 
starts—again in late June. Make holes 8 to 10 in. deep 
and 2 ft. apart in a circle, under tips of branches. Place 
one handful of mixture (half AGRICO, half soil) in each 
hole. Fill holes with soil, then water. 
For hedges: Apply 3 lbs. AGRICO per 100 running 
4 feet, half on each side, several inches from base. Work 
in lightly. Water thoroughly. 
RHODODENDRONS, AZALEAS: 
Rhododendrons, azaleas, laurel, dogwood, cam- 
elias, andromedas and other acid-loving plants 
require a fertilizer that does two things . . . sup- 
plies a correct balance of plant foods and also 
builds up soil acidity. AGRICO FOR BROAD- 
LEAF EVERGREENS is especially formulated to 
do both jobs properly. 
1. Apply AGRICO FOR BROADLEAF EVERGREENS in 
early Spring, at rate of 3 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. Sprinkle evenly 
over entire area from trunk of plant to beyond spread of 
branches. 2. Make a second application of 1 to 2 lbs. per 
100 sq. ft. during the Summer after flowering season is 
over. 3. Do not cultivate broadleaf evergreens. Their roots 
grow close to the surface. Mulch with leaf mold, oak leaves 
or peat moss, to retain moisture and keep out weeds. Do 
not use manure. 4. Be sure plants are supplied with 
plenty of moisture in the Fall. Do not let them go into 
Winter in a dry condition. 
LiQUID AGRICO — EASY T0 MAKE 
Mix 3 tablespoons of AGRICO with 1] gal. water and 
agitate thoroughly to dissolve the plant-food. Mark the 
row with a rake handle and pour 1 cupful of Liquid 
AGRICO over each 18 in. of row before planting seeds. 
Then place seed and cover with fine, dry soil. In setting 
out vegetable or flower plants, pour | cupful of Liquid 
AGRICO over roots of each transplant after it has 
been placed in soil. 
For side-dressing, use 2 cupfuls of Liquid AGRICO 
per 18 in. of row, alongside of, and 2 to 3 in. away from 
plants—1 cupful on each side. For side-dressing plants, 
use 1 to 4 cupfuls per plant, depending upon size, applied 
in ring around plant. Also use Liquid AGRICO for 
house plants, 1 teaspoonful dry AGRICO to 1 qt. water 
every 30 days.
