‘‘FERTILE’’ 
These famous manure pots assure a steady, 
even growth of plants as they feed on the pot 
as they grow. Plants raised in them can be set 
out in the field, pots and all, without any 
check in growth. The pot disintegrates and 
furnishes just the right plant food for best 
growth. These pots save time and labor, and 
actually produce earlier fruit and _ better 
yields of early cabbage, egg plant, peppers, 
tomatoes, melons, etc. 
These pots are carefully packed in strong 
divided cartons to prevent breakage.

TAKE-HOLD — Starter Solution 
10-52-17—Soluble—Economical 
This high-analysis, low cost starter solution 
is the best buy in its field, we believe. High 
phosphates are essential to reduce transplant- 
ing shock, and give plants a strong start.

add it to the transplanting water. It promotes 
rapid early growth, quicker ripening. We use 
it on all our transplanted crops—cabbage, 
cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, melons, etc. 
3 Ibs. to 50 gal. of water.
