 tables, fruits, or flowers — with an as- 

 surance of sure results. 



You can use it in any climate — in any soil. 



NITRACO comes in finely granulated form. 

 It is smooth and velvety to the touch. It is 

 absolutely free from lumps. Equally free from 

 odor. 



It is a fertilizer in highly concentrated form. 

 No straw, sand or other useless filler mixed 

 with it. It is "all wool." 



NITRACO contains the plant foods that 

 all plants vitally need : Ammonia, Phosphoric 

 Acid, and Potash. Contains them in just the 

 right proportions. 



Part of NITRACO is immediately available. 

 The other part continuously becomes available. 



Not only boosts your plants at the start — it 

 keeps on boosting them. 



NITRACO is sold in units ranging from 

 1 lb. cartons to Ton Lots. You can get just 

 the amount that you actually need.

 If he can't we will sell you direct.

MOON'S Make This Possible 



MOON'S Evergreens and Plants are 

 making homes more attractive, more 

 delightful and more intrinsically valuable 

 every day. 



Yet just buying shrubbery does not make an attrac- 

 tive home. Thought in the selection and arrangement 

 of varieties is required. Success vitally depends upon 

 the healthfulness and vigor of the stock planted. 



Bybuying MoonVEvergreens you get a wide choice 

 of varieties — a quality that only intense culture gives. 

 You obtain the advantage of Moon's experience 

 and help in making your choice.
