Shrubbery, Vines, Fruit and Ornamental Trees — IVlix one-third 

 COMMERCIAL HUMUS to two-thirds fertile loam and place this about

 work it thoroughly into the earth; then plant. As a summer mulch 

 spread COMMERCIAL HUMUS about growing crops.

 inch on the grass in the Fall. 



Potted Plants — Make a compost of one part COMMERCIAL HU- 

 MUS and three parts fertile, loamy soil. For plants already potted, 

 replace an inch of tlie surface soil with COMMERCIAL HUMUS. Plants 

 like ferns and others requiring large amounts of leaf mold should have 

 the quantity of COMMERCIAL HUMUS increased. Use it in the soil 

 of greenhouse benches and as a mulch. 



If you use COMMERCIAL HUMUS on your land and in all of your 

 plantings, the needed organic matter will be applied, plant food supplied
