FOOD FOR THOUGHT—As Well as For Your Flowers 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food, not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts those things that make 
plenty of strong roots, produce sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage and an abun- 
dance of good sized blooms. That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we 
use at Wayside. Much of our success in growing such unfailingly fine 
plants is due to it. Turn to page 185 and get the full facts about it.
