In most cases, it will be found, the chief cause of their failure or lack of complete success has been poor soil —in_other words, soil deficient in nourishment. For they haa forgotten that all plants are like human beings — that they areliving things and must be fed. Without plenty of nourishing food they cannot thrive any more than we could. And like ourselves, they must havea “balanced diet.” Professional gardeners and nursery- men give special care to that point. For years they have used Vigoro, a scientific, complete plant food, spe- cially formulated for their use. Thousands of home owners have discovered it within thelast few years. And with it they are getting a profes- sional degree of success. With this plant food, Vigoro, com- 1. LAWNS: As soon fore seeding; or for plants appear. For Swift & Company, - Mills, 400 Ma .
