By Following these Suggestions this 

 Fall Your Lawn, Shrubs and Flowers 

 Will be Better and Earlier Next Spring 



SPRINGTIME means rush time. The later the 

 Spring, the more the rush and the more things 

 you must slight. Good help is almost impossi- 

 ble to get then, but easy enough to secure this Fall. 



Every year our Springs are growing later, but for- 

 tunately our Falls are longer. So the sensible 

 thing, is to do all possible gardening, lawn making, 

 and shrub work in the Fall. Trees, Shrubs, and 

 hardy flowers can just as well be transplanted then. 

 Many of the leading nurserymen claim that Fall is 

 even better than spring for such work. One thing 

 is certain — one of the main essentials of successful 

 growth is a rich soil. All such enriching, with 

 Alphano Humus for example, might just as well be 

 done this Fall, as next Spring. Not only will you be 

 that much ahead on your Spring work, but your results 

 Will be much earlier and in every way, far better. 



Don't hesitate to use Alphano now because you 

 are afraid " the good of it " will leach away during 

 the Winter. It won't. As a matter of fact, the 

 freezes and thaws of Winter (as every good gardener 

 knows) act as a mixing process that makes the 

 plant foods more readily available next Spring. It's 

 sort of a predigestive action of nature. 



Fall is unquestionably the ideal time to make a 

 new lawn or repair an old one. The dry hot winds 

 are over. The cool nights and 

 heavy dews are highly conducive 

 to making strong, sturdy roots. 

 The stored up warmth of the 

 ground will promote continued 

 root gTowth long after the topt 

 have been frosted.

 F. 0. B. ALPHANO, N. J. 



With your hardy flowers, Fall is the time to sep- 

 arate and transplant old ones, as well as add new. 

 While the plants are now plain to be seen, it is the 

 very best time to dig enrichment around their roots 

 without fear of harming them, as is the danger in 

 Spring. 



Delayed enriching means delayed results — there 

 is no getting around that fact. 



How many times you have been unable to spade 

 up both your flower and vegetable gardens, because 

 of the delay in getting the manure enrichment you 

 wanted. By building up your soil with Alphano 

 Humus this Fall, you will overcome all that. 



The Fall digging around and enriching of your 

 shrubs and trees stimulates a new growth of fibrous 

 roots, which means an earlier start and better results 

 next Spring. 



For all this Fall work, Alphano Humus, in its 

 granulated, odorless form, comes pretty close to being 

 the ideal soil builder. It contains all the enriching 

 foods of the animal manures with none of its offensive 

 unsanitariness. One of the strongest points in its 

 favor is lasting qualities. 



If you want to know exactly what this Alphano 

 Humus is, where it comes from, and how prepared 

 for your use; then send for our Convincement 

 Book. In it you will also find 

 ample evidence of what Alphano 

 will do for you as proven by 

 what it has done for others. 



When writing, kindly state size 

 of space you want to use it on, so 

 we can advise the amount needed.
