Fertilizers for the Farm, Lawn and Garden 



Armour's Lawn and Garden Grower 



The use of the right kind and quantity of fertilizer is as 

 essential as the use of good seed. In order to meet this need 

 the Armour Fertilizer Works has developed a properly bal- 

 anced plant food mix- 

 ture blended from those 

 chemical fertilizer in- 

 gredients, best suited 

 for the growing of 

 grass and gardens. It is 

 free from objectionable 

 odor and weed seeds 

 and is easily applied. 

 Its plant food is largely 

 soluble in water, yet 

 will not readily leach 

 from the soil from ex- 

 cessive rains. It con- 

 tains more pounds of 

 high grade plant food 

 than is generally used 

 in lawn and garden 

 fertilizers, having at 

 least 16 times as much 

 plant food as ordinary 

 farm manure. It con- 

 tains 6% of Ammonia, 

 8% of Available Phos- 

 phoric Acid and 6% of 

 Potash. The continued 

 systematic use of this 

 fertilizer will materi- 

 ally aid in eradicating 

 weeds from your lawn.

GIVE YOUR SOIL 



WHAT IT NEEDS 



TO MAKE 



THINGS GROW 



Use a Fertilizer 

 that combines nat- 

 ural humus and or- 

 ganic matter with 

 natural plant food. 

 One that actually 

 makes available 

 and useful a great 

 amount of fertility 

 lying dormant and 

 inactive in the soil. 

 WIZARD BRAND PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE AND 

 SHREDDED CATTLE MANURE is a particularly efficient 

 material for making up the compost supply. It is used in 

 this way by many florists who have limited space and who 

 cannot mix their compost in the old way. It acts quickly, 

 has a better effect on the soil, and is much more easily han- 

 dled. WIZARD BRAND is just this kind of a fertilizer. It's 

 all natural plant food and humus that makes better soil 

 and better crops. No matter what you grow — fruit, vege- 

 tables and grain, or just flowers and grass about the home — 

 WIZARD BRAND SHEEP MANURE "Makes Nature Hus- 

 tle," and builds up your soil at the same time. Price: 10 lbs. 

 50 cts.; 25 lbs. $1.00; 50 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs. $2,75; ton, $45.00.

 Roses, a tablespoonful to be sprinkled around the bush, about 

 one inch away from the bush, every two weeks. It is also 

 very valuable as a top-dressing in the vegetable garden, 

 flower garden, around house plants, trees and in hot houses, 

 1 lb. 15 cts.; 3 lbs. 40 cts.; 5 lbs. 60 cts.
