 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.

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, ha\ing been used for many years with 

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

Plantabbs 



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 159p, 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 ro.ses. We highly recommend Plantabbs becau.se 

 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- 

 sati.sfied user. 30 Tablets 2.5c; 75 Tablets 50c; 200 Tablets
