Vital Helps for Your Lawn 



Your Garden, Shrubs and Trees 



Secured by Using Alphano 



YOL' must not think that, just because 

 \i)U had some fertihzer spread on >our 

 garden and spaded in, you can let it 

 go without giving the plants further food; 

 and expect anxthing like top notch results. 

 In the first place hut a very small 

 portion of the foods in the fertilizer actually 

 reaches the roots, because it is next to im- 

 possible to mix fertilizer lumps and chunks 

 up thoroughl\' enough with the soil. Besides 

 after a few rains, most of the food value 

 has been carried down in the soil helo-iU X\\t 

 roots and for all the good done, it might 

 just as well not be there. 



Alphano, if sowed in the drill with the 

 seeds, is right there where the roots are. 

 Being finely granulated, it becomes a direct 

 part of the soil and is readily available to 

 the roots. Or as a boost to 

 the plants, it can be dug 

 around the plants once or 

 twice during the season. 

 The results will be a gratify- 

 ing surprise to vou. 



Then there are your 

 shrubs, Rhododendrons and

\oung trees; see that some is dug around 

 them, and just witness the gladsome re- 

 sponse. 



On \our lawn, more than Iikel\' \ou put 

 the usual fertilizer and then had the best 

 part of it raked off because of its unsight- 

 liness and choking of the grass. This being 

 so, onlv the top roots were temporariJ\' 

 stimulated and when hot, dry weather 

 comes, the grass will thin out and brown up. 

 What it needs right now is a good top 

 dressing of .'Hpha}w. well raked in. 



It will furnish food for the roots all 

 summer long. 



It will fortif\- your lawn and \our garden 

 against dry weather, because it absorbs 

 five limes its weight in moisture, acting 

 like a huge sponge. 1 1 is odorless, so you can 

 use it without any objec- 

 tion, an\time, an\where. 

 It's low cost and long en- 

 during benefits make it 

 practical to use freely. Order 

 some. Give it a fair trial. 

 For further facts, send for 

 the .Alphano Book.
