food research. Made by a 
patented process from an ex- 
clusive combination of new 
ingredients. WON'T BURN 
GRASS when used in recom- 
mended amounts, NEEDS 
NO WATERING OR RAK- 
ING IN, and ONE FEEDING 
LASTS AN ENTIRE SEA- 
SON. This is the Lawn Food 
you have been waiting for, 
it contains all the nutrients 
needed to develop the finest 
deep rooted grass. Scientifi- 
cally compounded to make 
the law of osmosis work for 
you, instead of against you 
as it does even with organic 
preparations. The nutrients 
are thus released at_ the 
critical times the grass is in 
need of them, maintaining 
abundant available nitrogen : 
in the soil throughout the season, whereas organic 
sludge compounds release it all too early when the 
turf is not ready for it. New Golden Vigoro will 
solve your lawn feeding problem with only one 
application. Use 1 to 3 pounds per 100 square feet.
