From Metarie Club Gardens, New Orleans, Louisiana—‘‘Our camellias and azaleas, 
roses and shrubs have grown so wonderfully well that there is considerable talk about 
the kind of fertilizer we use, I think you will receive a lot of orders from New 
Orleans soon, as 1 have never seen such new growth on camellias.”

You can definitely make them bloom beyond 
fondest hopes with “HIGH ACID” 
The analysis is 3% of nitrogen, 20% of phosphoric acid (nearly twice as high 
as any existing formula today) and 3% of potash. These plants are “inebriates” 
for acid food. This formula is abundantly acid. Apply in April or May and 
again 3 weeks later. Four cupfuls (coflee cup size) to a plant 3 feet high. 
Proportionately more or less for varying heights. Chop it in 2 inches deep and 
soak down with water. That’s all there is to it and you’re due for a pleasant 
surprise. Just hefore the first frost give ’°em another feeding — same amount — 
and see how they open up the next spring. Make a “show” plant out of the 
average plant. FLOWER SHOW PRIZES FOR SPECIMEN PLANTS FROM 
THIS FORMULA. 
Try as little as 5 pounds. Apply in April, again in early June and again in 
September. Four cupfuls to a plant 3 feet high with a 3 to 5 foot spread. 
Work it in 2 inches and soak down with water. 
A heavy acid soil is nearly the 
whole answer to satisfactory plants 
in this group. 
Acidity is expressed in terms of 
pH. A 7 pH soil is considered neu- 
tral in reaction. Above 7 pH is alka- 
line and below is on the acid side. 
Some growers like a pH of 6.5 but 
try for around 5 pH and notice the 
amazing difference. That’s where 
our 3-20-3 counts every time. Vs. 
so-called formulas with only half the 
actual elements required. 
Try this, too—Save apple parings 
and tea leaves and we especially 
recommend TOBACCO POWDER 
(page 7) worked into the soil all 
around these plants for three good 
reasons: (1) The pll goes down; 
the acidity goes up. (2) The soil is 
made friable and “woodsy” (like 
forest soil). (3) Those white root 
maggots are controlled. 
1—DO THIS BEFORE END OF 
APRIL: Prong up the already 
planted beds to a depth of 2” to 
3” being careful not to tear sur- 
face roots too much. Now apply 
: 5-10 Ibs. of G&O Tobacco Pow- 
der (not coarse or flake tahacco) to 100 sq. ft. of soil. Soak with water. 
2—A MONTH LATER: For plants about 3’ high and the same size spread, 
broadcast by hand two glassfuls (tumbler size) of GSO 3-20-3 Acid Food 
evenly over earth from stalk or trunk, all around and out to the spread of 
the branches. Prong it in and flush with water. If any roots are exposed by 
reason of “wash” or erosion, cover up and level earth off. 
3—DURING AUGUST: Repeat No. 2.

From Wilton, Connecticut—“‘I have had some difficulty getting your dahlia

This year I would like to try it on peonies and put it on very early.

DISEASE RESISTANT FORMULA

TULIPS » NARCISSUS -« ETC. 
Since Gardeners have learned that they can get this 
“26 unit,” 15% Potash Formula for Bulbs (exclusively 
made by us) our tonnage output, all over the country has 
now multiplied about 30 times. Simply unbelievable. 
The analysis is 5% of nitrogen, 
6% of phosphoric acid and 15% of 
potash (nearly 3 times the potash 
content of any available “Do Every- 
thing” formula). How they love pot- 
ash. So why deprive them of pot- 
ash? Right today there are thou- 
sands of good professional and ama- 
teur growers of Dahlias and Glads 
who are “getting set” to take prizes 
at the Fall shows. Even to them we 
say give a few of your “hopefuls” } 
a tablespoonful of this formula in 
Spring, July and again in the mid- 
dle of August. The directions are 
on every package of each kind of 
food. You can’t err. 
The leading Dahlia growers 
demand at least 10% of Potash, so 
just compare that requirement with 
these “do everything” market grades 
of 4%—7% and 8% Potash—totally 
inadequate. 
From Virginia—‘“I am enclosing money order 
for 50 Ibs. of your BULB FOOD. The results 
of last year’s first use of your BULB FOOD 
were marvelous.” 
A tablespoonful per plant of this 
Food in Spring, July and again in 
August has meant many a prize and 
all due to that excess Potash. Full 
directions on package. 
From a ‘‘Champ”’ Long Island Grower—‘‘Three years 
ago I made my initial purchase of your products. 
The amount of the order was $10.00. Today’s order 
amounts to $81.59, an increase of 800%. There must 
be a reason. My 300 azaleas, rhododendrons and 
evergreens have become a showplace on Long Island. 
Thanks to your wonderful formulas. Needless to say 
that your products cannot be duplicated at your price 
anywhere.”
