 and after the crop has been harvested the soil is removed from tlie beds. 

 It is then an excellent compost for dressing lawns, flower beds, vegetable 

 gardens, etc. 



When applying to gardens, spade up the ground, level, and apply 

 about 1 inch of Henderson's Prepared Compost over the surface, and 

 thoroughly i-ake into the soil. 



For lawns, use 400 lbs. per 1,000 square feet, broadcast evenly and 

 rake well into the soil. If properly done, the growth of the grass will 

 be tremendously stimulated. When repotting ijlants this product is 

 indispensable in the preparation of the soil.

Hyper Pulverized Humus 



Nature's Product for Enrichinii Lawns and Gardens 



Hyper Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply, and 

 serves many functions in the soil. It loosens heavy clayey soils, and pro- 

 motes aeration. It increases the moisture absorbing power of light 

 sandy soils and corrects the mechanical condition of medium soils. 

 Unless there is a supply of humus in some form in the soil it is impossible 

 to obtain satisfactory crops of either grass, vegetables or flowers. 



Hyper Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and is therefore very 

 desirable for using in flats for starting seedlings indoors, also for potting 

 bulbs and other house plants.
