For Remaking Old Lawns 



Or Building Up New - - Use Alphano Humus

k ON'T put off until next Spring the remak- 

 ing of your old lawn or the building up 

 of a new one. A top dressing of odorless 

 Alphano Humus raked into your old lawn 

 now, will in a surprisingly short time, start 

 the tops growing, and promote strong, sturdy 

 root growth. 



Starved, shallow roots have a hard struggle 

 against the hot sun of August and the cold of 

 Winter. Now is the time to fortify them against 

 both, so that the rest of the Summer and all this 

 Fall, your lawn will be a deep, rich green, the 

 sod thick and mat-like. Then 

 next Spring it will have the 



strength to start up early and / V^\ \ R \\C ^1/ ~f 

 continue strong throughout the \ m J]/D/\\VIiJX 

 season without further enrich- 

 ment. You could not consider 

 for a moment putting barnyard fertilizers on your 

 lawn at this time of the year, and as for chemical 

 fertilizers, they are but temporary stimulants at 



best, contain no humus, quickly leach away, and 

 are far from odorless. 



Alphano Humus is the ideal material for the 

 purpose, it being inexpensive, odorless, rich in 

 humus and plant foods. Because of its powdered 

 form it can be easily spread on old or new lawns 

 and raked in, quickly becoming a part of the soil. 

 Unlike other fertilizers it lasts for several years. 

 With shrubs and trees the results from Alphano 

 Humus are decidedly pronounced. 



For greenhouse purposes it is most satisfactory 

 — giving surprising returns. 



Send for the Humus Book. It 

 tells all about Alphano Humus 

 — what it is and its various 

 valued uses. In it you will 

 find complete directions for 

 lawn making and building.
