New Supergrow from Eastern lets you put more money in the bank and less money in the ground. Only one plant food formulated in North or South Carolina lets you apply exactly the nutrients your crop, field and yield call for - and nothing more. It's SUPERGROW, the prescription plant food that never adds anything you don't need to soil. You can be sure of that because SUPERGROW is based on our in- house computer analysis of your soil and your need. If you've known us up to now mainly as distribution experts, SUPERGROW wiU change that. You'll look to us from now on as plant food speciahsts who provide you with the exact formula - out of 160,000 possibilities — that makes every crop a money crop! GREENVILLE- SPARTANBURG AREA farmers and dealers are served from our plant just off 1-85 at Greer. These Steps Make Every Plant Food Penny Pay Off: 1^ Using one of our four-wheel-drive vehicles equipped ^ for automated soil sampling, trained personnel takesoil samples for independent laboratory analysis. The on-site computer at our nearest plant uses this analysis to select from 160,000 possibilities the one nu- trient combination that gives you only what you need. Automated controls at each location precisely meter out those nutrients for the plant food "prescription" that feeds your crop with no waste. This means you spend money only for the plant food you need for the yield you want — never for nutrients already present — and you bank the rest.
