GROUND TOBACCO STEMS 



A finely ground, organic fertilizer material. An ideal and 

 readily available source of necessary elements for your 

 lawn, flowers, truck, market garden, and green house crops, 

 and fruit. Better than stable manure, and makes a superior 

 compost. Adds humus. Thoroughly sterilized, therefore free 

 of weed seeds. Supplies ORGANIC Nitrogen and ORGANIC 

 Potash. Does not burn tender roots. Economical, easy to 

 use, and safe for every purpose. Guaranteed 1.25% Nitro- 

 gen, 4.50% Potash. Being a "natural" fertilizer carries nearly 

 all of the minor elements that a plant demands, particularly 

 Magnesium for flower and leaf color. Apply at rate of 5 to 

 10 pounds per 100 square feet, or 1000 to 2000 pounds per 

 acre for all truck crops, tobacco, fruit, tomatoes, potatoes, 

 etc. 10 lbs., 25c; 25 lbs., 50c; 100-lb. bag, $1.50; ton, $21.00.

 Regulating Supply of Moisture 

 Investigate its Many Advantages 

 Granulated Peat Moss has rapidly come into general use 

 for horticultural purposes, and large commercial growers 

 recommend it highly as a moisture retaining humus, unsur- 

 passed for mulching. It is excellent for clayey, light, sandy 

 or gravelly soils, beds, hotbeds, coldframes, greenhouse 

 benches, in potting soil and as a winter protection for lawns. 

 Also as a mulch on strawberry, perrenial beds, roses, rhodo- 

 dendrons, azaleas, evergreens, ferns, etc.
