A rj/^Q converts garden refuse, such as leaves, stalks, 

 cuttings, potatoes, beans and pea vines, etc., 

 into ARTIFICIAL MANURE, 



ADCO is a powder which, when mixed with almost any 

 non-woody vegetable waste and kept moist, gradually con- 

 verts the mass into real manure fully equal to the farmyard 

 product in fertilizing power, but free from foul odor, flies, 

 weed-seeds, etc. The process is perfectly simple and not at 

 all laborious. 



ADCO, in 150-lb. bags, each (enough for a heap 10 ft. 



X 10 ft. X 6 ft., making about 3 tons of manure) $10.50 



ADCO, in 25-lb. bags, each (enough for 12 wheelbar- 

 row loads of garden waste, making Vz ton of

Land Plaster. (Ground Gypsum) Should be more widely 

 used for deodorizing manure piles. When spread on fresh 

 manure it unites with the ammonia as it is given off, thus 

 preventing the loss of this most valuable material, and at 

 the same time keeping down the odor. When spread on 

 the land, manure so treated has extra value in the calcium 

 and sulphur thus added to the soil. 



Plaster is also widely used for mixing with insecticides 

 for dusting plants, having been used for many years with 

 Paris Green on potatoes. 50-lb. paper sack, 60c; 100 lbs.,

HYDRATED LIME. Unexcelled . for sweetening sour land 

 and soil. Can be broadcast and harrowed in or mixed with 

 the soil. For dusting of plants and trees, Hydrated Lime is 

 one of the best materials to mix with the insecticide. It 

 is used also as a deodorizer and for making whitewash. 10

 and such as is generally the case in virgin forests where 

 these shrubs grow wild. Lb. 15c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c.

Planiabbs 



made this 

 difference 



PLANTABBS are small, white odorless tablets. A com- 

 plete, properly balanced fertilizer guaranteed the high an- 

 alysis of nitrogen 11%, phosphoric acid 15%, potash 20%, 

 are water soluble, dissolves quickly, giving immediate fer- 

 tilization. Ideal for house plants where smelly fertilizer 

 cannot be used but equally good for all garden planting, 

 especially roses. We highly recommend Plantabbs because 

 there is no waste, no weeds, no run-off. They are clean, 

 odorless, easy to use, and we do not know of a single dis-

 of which is soluble and easily available for rapid sturdy 

 growth. 



A little Nitrophoska fertilizes a great deal of ground. Five 

 to ten pounds of Nitrophoska (depending upon the natural 

 richness of the soil) is enough to fertilize 1000 square feet of 

 lawn or garden. It may be spread broadcast by hand; dis- 

 solved m water and applied with a sprinkling can; or mixed 

 with such materials as peat moss and humus before applying.
