WAYSIDE GARDENS “EXCLUSIVE” 
ORGANIC PLANT FOOD 
For Bulbs, Lawns, Flower Gardens. Used at WAYSIDE in the production of millions of 
fine plants. It is whole-heartedly endorsed for our customers. 
Thousands of customers and strangers alike have visit- 
ed WAYSIDE GARDENS. They have marvelled at our 
nursery plants. They have been known to actually gasp for 
breath at the sheer beauty of 400 acres of flowers 
brought to such a high degree of perfection. Invariably, 
they ask us the same question: 
“To what do you attribute the superior qualities of 
your flowers?"’ 
And invariably our answer is the same: ‘‘The chief 
reason for the high quality of WAYSIDE products is due 
to the fact that we use only the very finest Plant Food 
that skill and money can produce!”’ 
You will agree that we have entirely too much at 
stake to afford to use any other kind. In addition to the 
enormous investment represented by our nurseries, we 
have a reputation to maintain among thousands of the 
most critical floral customers in the land. We prize and 
guard very jealously such possessions. . . . Contented 
only with the best we advise our customers to adopt the 
same attitude, in order that the fine specimens grown at 
WAYSIDE may be duplicated in your own garden. We 
recommend only that which we ourselves use. 
We Learn from the English 
We are indebted to a noted English gardener for the 
Exclusive Organic Plant Food we use in growing millions 
of plants of superior quality. Among other things, he said: 
‘A lawn should not be treated like a hayfield, but like 
a permanent garden. Therefore, | object to chemical 
fertilizers for lawns. It is not the QUANTITY of grass 
cut from the lawn each week, ‘but the DENSITY AND 
LUXURIANCE OF THE GRASS which produces the ef- 
fect of walking over a thick velvet carpet that counts. If 
you want a thick lawn in which there is no room for 
weeds, it is essential that you use a properly balanced 
ORGANIC Plant Food—one that sinks deeply into the 
soil for the grass or plant roots to go after. That is where 
the moisture is, and you will find it unnecessary to water 
so much in summer.” 
WAYSIDE’S exclusive organic Plant Food is made 
from bone meal, dried blood, ground fish, and muriate 
of potash, in proportions recommended by the ‘‘old 
country’’ expert. These long-lasting ingredients, heavy 
with life-producing qualities, give your flowers a well- 
balanced diet, containing in just the right amounts those 
things that go to make strong roots, sturdy stalks, bright 
green leaves, a profusion of foliage and an abundance 
of large and healthy blooms year in and year out. It does 
not stimulate, but nourishes any and all plants and im- 
parts to them a youthful and lusty vigor. It disintegrates 
slowly. It is excellent to use in bulb plantings as well as 
in Rose beds, or hardy plant borders. Use it consistently 
year after year, and your garden will be among the most 
beautiful. 
Ideal for Rose Beds and Bulb Plantings 
Also it is excellent for spading into the Rose bed when 
you are preparing the Rose bed for winter. Use it gener- 
ously in your bulb plantings and in any hardy flower 
border. 
In late summer and autumn your soil is in better con-

prior to the approach of winter, you will have more leisure 
to enjoy its greater beauty—the satisfying rewards of 
your efforts—when Nature reanimates your bulbs and 
Roses next spring. 
How to Use Wayside Organic Plant Food 
Nor do we need to use much of it to 
obtain the lasting magical results it pro- 
duces. Furthermore, it is easy to use and 
apply it. If your garden is an established 
one, apply twice a year, March first and 
October first. Use 15 to 25 pounds for top 
dressing a space 500 square feet for Hardy 
Piants, Rock Plants, Roses, Annuals, and 
other Flowering Plants, Shrubs and Bulbs. 
In making a new garden, double the 
amount and mix with the soil. Planting 
may be done at once. No burning is pos- 
sible. For old lawns, use 10 to 25 Ibs. for 
top dressing 500 sq. ft. For potted plants, 
a 3-inch potful mixed with a bushel of 
soil will give you splendid results.
