LIQUID FERTILIZERS 
And What You Should Know About Them 
You have heard a lot of extravagant claims for “New Fertilizers” in the last few months. 
If you will analyze them, most have been for “liquid” types, and most have laid claim to a 
newness which has little basis in fact. 
There is no such thing asa NEW FERTILIZER. They are all as old as agriculture. But 
in recent years it has been possible to make fertilizers in such form as to be easily dis- 
solvable in water, and thus more readily available to plants. As a result much talk (adver- 
tising talk) has been about “foliar feeding” and. ‘concentrated feeding.” Even this is not 
very new. 
We Have Two Best 
We have handled RA-PID-GRO for many years. We also handle GRO-STUF. Both are 
excellent fertilizers. Both are dissolvable in water and so are liquid fertilizers. Both con- 
tain a near maximum of available nutrient materials, plus hormones and trace elements. 
More important they are both produced by manufacturers who have been in business in 
our field for many years. 
As growers in the seed and nursery industry, who should know about such things, we 
entreat our friends and eustomers to be wary of extravagant claims, with the correspond- 
ingly extravagant prices of so called “NEW” fertilizers. 
We recommend the following in the sure knowledge that they will do well for you; in 
fact, we use them ourselves.
