OS^gQ 



Mr. W. E. Hartman 

 of the National Acad- 

 emy of Sciences says : 

 "I believe that Hyper- 

 Humus is responsible 

 for the general excel- 

 lence of both lawn and 

 plantings." For many 

 years the U. S. Gov- 

 ernment has used 



Hyper-Humus in the landscaping and planting of many 

 of its Public Buildings, Post Offices, and Parks. It meets 

 the Government's standard for landscaping, and is ap- 

 proved for Government plantings in Washington and 

 throughout the East. 



FIVE HYPER-HUMUS VALUES 



1 Hyper-Humus is literally a workshop for bacterial con- 

 version. The millions of beneficial bacteria in Hyper- 

 Humus gives life and fertility to your soil. 



2 Hyper-Humus is a storage-house of soil organics . . . 

 plant food awaiting plant call. 



3 Hyper-Humus is a reservoir of normal moisture, assist- 

 ing food conversion, and coming to the aid of your 

 plants when they need it. 



4 Hyper-Humus is a regulator of temperature and air 

 ... so vital to plant life. 



5 Hyper-Humus has perfect friability ... it is easy and 

 pleasant to use ; absolutely free from odor and from 

 weed -seeds. 



Humus makes rich 

 loamy garden soil out 

 of common dirt. Added 

 in sufficient quantity it 

 will give the soil the 

 proper texture, help 

 hold the right amount 

 of moisture, and retain 

 plant foods for natural 

 plant stimulation.
