World-wide Clinton Engine Service Station f IA STORAGE I I Handle stoiids I 1 N ewfs OKI im Vy n The most amazing lawn fertilizer ever developed! Transforms scrawny, food-starved lawns into velvety, deep green carpets of grass The difference is in the Pellet. Now from ORTHO comes a new lawn fertilizer: Each tiny pellet con tains a balanced meal for your lawn. Everything for fast green and growth plus steady, continuing nour ishment! And, because of a new Double-Strength formula, you actually use only half as much lawn fertilizer as before. In "mechanically-mixed'' fertilizers, nitrogen, phos phate and potash components often "settle-out." The result is uneven growth, underfed and overfed patches of lawn. But, an exclusive new process "locks in" balanced concentrates of these nutrients in each ORTHO Pellet. Your lawn gets a balanced feeding, which makes for uniform greengrowth. Economical! Use only half as much! Double-Strength formula means you use only half as much as most ordinary fertilizers. A 1-lb. coffee can holds the right amount of ORTHO Lawn and Garden Food pellets to cover a lawn 200 sq. ft Only ORTHO pellets provide balanced feedings to lawn roots' ORTHO Lawn and Garden Food pel lets are made by the exclusive PEC process. Each pellet contains 16 units of nitrogen, 16 units of phosphate and 8 units of potash. Every root gets a balanced feeding and even, uniform growth. Healthier plants and shrubs, too! Regular feedings can provide longer stems, larger blooms and resistance to diseases. (ORTHO I tarn I Gardes ) I ' FOOD I In each ORTHO Pellet DOUBLE-ACTION NITROGEN FOR QUICK GREEN AND LASTING GRGaTH Each ORTHO pellet contains two dif-, ferent kinds of nitrogen: 1) Fast action nitrate nitrogen that turns your lawn green fast 2) Amnionic nitrogen that stays in the soil and keeps your lawn a rich green for weeks and weeks. In ach ORTHO Pellet POTASH ACTS AS A BALANCE FOR VIGOR AND HEALTH This vital nutrient helps the plant build sugar and glucose so important to increased resistance to plant dis ease. It also helps produce strong stems and vigorous growth. In each ORTHO Pellet DOUBLE-ACTION PHOSPHATE TO DtTELOP STRONGER, STURDIER ROOTS Each ORTHO pellet contains two dif ferent types of this needed nutrient One is immediately available to the roots thus helps develop strong, sturdy root systems. The other is re leased from the soil gradually for long time feeding. ' ORTHO pellets made to be scattered by hand No need to use expensive mechanical spreaders. Becausa of the exclusive balanced formula in each pellet, they can be scattered safely by hand. Then, water well to start immediate dissolving action. Pellets have a special coat ing which makes them free flowing dust free. met u . California Spray-Chemical Corp.
