ALPHANO HUMUS 

 Made This Sod in Eight Weeks 



BUT the fact that such thick sod 

 was grown in eight weeks is 

 only half the story. The other half 

 is that it was grown on regular 

 white sea sand soil made by mixing 

 half such sand with half Alphano 

 Humus. It was a test case made by 

 the management of one of the big- 

 i.'est Golf Clubs in the country. 

 Various mixtures of fertilizers, wood 

 soils, top soils and animal manures 

 were used in an endeavor to put 

 .\lpliano Humus out of the running. 

 .■\lplmno Hunuis not only grew the 

 best grass and grew it quickest ; but 

 it continued to keep thick and green 

 long after the others had yellowed 

 up and grown spindley. Based on 

 this result several carloads were or- 

 dered. 



If Alphano Humus will give results 

 like this when mixed with absolute- 

 ly sterile white sand, think what it 

 will do for that lawn of yours with 

 its half way good soil. 



Furthermore, it it is good for grass, 

 it's equally good for all kinds of 

 gardening uses, as well as for 

 shrubs and trees. 



Being odorless and absolutely sani- 

 tary you can put it on any part of 

 your lawn at any time. Being in 

 powdered form, it can easily and 

 quickly be mixed with your garden 

 soil or dug around your shrubs and 

 trees. 



Not only does Alphano Humus give 

 tonic to the soil but its effects last 

 for years. It does not leach away. 

 It absorbs fourteen times its weight 

 in moisture. Think what that means 

 when the dry, hot winds of summer 

 come. Besides being a plant food 

 you see it also acts as an internal 

 mulch. 



Send for the Humus Book, it tells 

 about Humus iu general and Al- 

 phano Humus in particular.
