- 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

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.
USE A
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!
