LAWNS AND GARDENS

- purpose ferti¬ lizers, you might say, because one plant -food formula was supposed to doanequally good job both on the lawn and in the garden . . . when every professional grower knows that for best results a fertilizer has to be formulated for a specific purpose.

That is why The American Agricultural Chemical Company — one of the world’s largest and oldest fer¬ tilizer producers — has introduced with great success two different plant-food formulas:

AGRICO FOR LAWNS, TREES & SHRUBS AGRICO FOR GARDENS

Agrico for Lawns is specially formulated to pro¬ duce a thick, rich growth of velvety, dark-green lawn- grass. With just the right balance of ALL the plant foods needed for this one very specific purpose. Backed by a generation of experience in producing fertilizers for the nation’s top-notch golf courses.

Agrico for Gardens, on the other hand, is spe¬ cially formulated to stimulate deep, vigorous root growth, stiff, sturdy stalks, and a generous production of firm, well-formed flowers and vege- tables. In flowers, Agrico brings out full beauty and richness of color... in vege¬ tables, Agrico develops full- flavored produce, rich in health-giving mineral nutri- ents.Try some Agrico this year — see the difference it makes.

FLOWER AND VEGETABLE GARDENS need a different fertilizer than lawns. Because grass is all roots and green growth/ while flowers and vegetables also have to produce abundance of bloom, or large, well- nourished vegetables. That is why Agrico for Gardens is specially formulated to do this one job, better. Try some Agrico — see the difference it makes.

AGRICO IS CLEAN, ODORLESS SAFE, EASY TO USE. COMPLETE DIRECTIONS, FULLY ILLUS¬ TRATED, IN EVERY PACKAGE

AGRICO FOR GARDENS

specially formulated for flowers and vegetables. Contains ALL the needed plant foods, with just the right proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash to stimulate deep root-growth, stiff, upstand¬ ing stalks, with an abundance of colorful flowers and delicious vegetables.

APPLY AGRICO, and almost before you know it, your lawn is transformed into a thick, closely-woven fabric of rich, healthy, dark-green growth . . . Apply Agrico, also, to shrubs and trees, as these require the same plant- food balance as lawns . . . This truly complete, thoroughly balanced plant food makes an amazing difference. Try some Agrico this season — and see for yourself.

AGRICO FOR LAWNS, TREES & SHRUBS

specially formulated for lawns, trees and shrubs. Provides ALL the needed plant foods, with just the right proportions of nitrogen, phosphorusand potash ...stimulating quick growth in early spring ... pro¬ viding slowly available plant food all season long.

FERTILIZER

Agrico Comes in TWO Grades, Specially Formulated (or the Home-Gardener

One Agrico for Lawns... Another Agrico for Flower and Vegetable Gardens

NO GOLF-COURSE greenkeeper would think of using a flower-garden fertilizer for his greens and fairways. No more than a professional greenhouseman would use a lawn fertilizer to grow flowers! For the good and sufficient reason that it takes a different combination of plant foods to do each job well. That explains why Agrico produces such truly remarkable results.

Because, instead of a single all-purpose plant- food formula, Agrico comes in TWO grades, each grade specially formulated to do its own job and do it better. It’s the difference between a man-of-all-work and a specialist — the differ¬ ence between an amateur and a professional. And, believe us, that difference is mighty important!
