Dear Gardener,

Whether you have an experienced green thumb or are just discovering how to use yours, we are here to help. Our family has been digging in the dirt for several generations and we love to share our passion and knowledge with you.

Bill started with his love of gardening and combined it with his technical knowledge and education as a chemist and voila! Spray-N-Grow! After more experimenting, Bill added two more products many of you have grown to love – Bill’s Perfect Fertilizer and Coco-Wet.

If you always wanted to try our own Spray-N-Grow products but were afraid they were too good to be true, check out the photos in this catalog. All of them were taken by real gardeners who think a picture is worth a thousand words. Especially if it is a picture of a 258 pound watermelon or the most stunning roses you can imagine.

Did you know that every product we offer is tested repeatedly before we’ll even consider adding it to our catalog? Each product must meet our high standards for being effective as well as being “safe for people, plants and pets.” So, if you are in search of natural, organic or non-toxic gardening products, you’ve come to the right place.

As picky as we are about new products, we are pleased to tell you this catalog includes more than 50! Our staff has worked overtime to make it happen. Many were added because you asked for them. While our exclusive Spray-N-Grow products are what make us unique, we continue to expand our selection of safe products that add to your gardening enjoyment. As you know, it’s never too early to start planning for spring. We hope you start planning with us.

Happy gardening,

Bill, Ethel, Melanie and Natalie

This Birthday Bash Couldn’t Have
Happened Without You!

Twenty-five years! A quarter of a century! Wow, that’s a really long time. Yet, it seems like only yesterday when Bill & Ethel sold that first little bottle of the amazing product they named Spray-N-Grow. And yet so much has happened since that important day.

Today gardeners in all 50 states and in 15 countries have more flowers, bigger vegetables and better, healthier plants because of the product Bill and Ethel say is “like vitamins for your plants.” That first sale followed a year of intense research conducted by the Muskopfs. Bill, a chemist, was familiar with the ingredients in the product but even he underestimated the almost unbelievable effect Spray-N-Grow would have on plants.

The passion and excitement gardeners exhibited for their Spray-N-Grow treated plants amazed Bill. “Customers, even novice gardeners, had flowers and landscaping with many more blooms, amazingly large and tasty vegetables and healthy vibrant houseplants. They were so proud and excited, they took photos and shared them with us”, explains Bill.

Those early Spray-N-Grow customers started something – the company continues to get letters and photos of gardening success stories almost every day. “People love the results they get with Spray-N-Grow and enjoy the bragging rights it gives them,” says Bill. To date, Spray-N-Grow has received more than 7,000 photographs and testimonials from gardeners who have experienced amazing results from Spray-N-Grow. Some of those photos are featured throughout the Spray-N-Grow catalog. The beautiful covers are even customer photos. According to Ethel, “our customers have always been the stars of our company. We celebrate their successes as our own.”
When asked what he thought had made Spray-N-Grow such a success, Bill replied, “The product just works . . . there is nothing like it.”

Spray-N-Grow Story

25 years ago when the very first little bottle of Spray-N-Grow was sold, our family business was born. We started selling Spray-N-Grow out of our home in Houston, Texas. We hired high school kids to work in the warehouse (really the garage!) after school. The office (an extra bedroom) was staffed by Ethel and a friend that we hired for a few hours a day. Although we both still had full time jobs, we worked a lot of hours in the evenings and on weekends to get the business going.

In 1985, the company had grown to the point of moving into a real office/warehouse and we took the plunge and quit our day jobs.

Gardeners soon learned what Bill had discovered. This new product promoted lush healthy growth, vibrant colors and earlier, larger, and more plentiful blooms and bigger, better, blooms, vegetables and fruits.

In time, independent scientific testing confirmed Spray-N-Grow’s astounding growth-promoting properties. Bill created his Perfect Fertilizer and revolutionary wetting agent Coco-Wet as perfect complements to Spray-N-Grow. The introduction of “Green Thumb Gardening,” the company’s gardening catalog filled with tips and testimonials, helped spread the word to new customers.

Along the way, our two daughters, Melanie and Natalie joined the company and Spray-N-Grow became a true family run business. Many of you may have talked with some of our grandkids. All four of them work at the company during summer vacations from school. Believe it or not, even the family’s dogs can be seen at the office sometimes!

The company continues to grow, and it all started with the sale of the first little bottle of Bill’s ground-breaking discovery. It could not have happened without our “extended family” of amazing employees and loyal customers. Warm thanks to each and every one of you!

Thanks to each and every one of you!
