 Meal is so very desirable for fertilizing all hard wooded plants, 

 including flowering shrubs, fruit bushes, trees, and the like.

 bulbs, including Tulips, Hyacinths, etc., a liberal application of Bone 

 Meal mixed into the soil before planting them will be amply repaid for 

 by the remarkable size and brilliancy of the flowers obtained.

 elements that grass requires. It may be broadcast as a top-dressing

 quantity for renovating an old lawn. Apply broadcast with machine 

 or by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet day and preferably just

HUMUS ^^- 



Pulverized 

 Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 



Humus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance 

 consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have 

 been accumulating for countless ages. 



Our supply, which is obtained from a prehistoric lake basin, is dug 

 aerated and pulverized by specially designed machiner\-. 



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 promotes 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 

 ver>' desirable for using in flats for starting seedlings indoors, also 

 for potting bulbs and other house plants.
