HUMUS Pulverized 



Nature's Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens 



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

 sisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have been accu- 

 mulating for countless ages. 



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. 



Pulverized Humus is absolutely odorless and is therefore very desirable 

 for starting seedlings indoors, also for potting bulbs and other house plants. 

 100 pounds of Hyper Humus will cover 100 square feet of area to a depth 

 of 1/3 inch.

A WONDERFUL SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY NOW MADE AVAILABLE 

 TO ALL GARDENERS IN THE JAPANESE BEETLE ZONE 



JAPIDEMIC (Milky Disease Spore Dust) 



Nature's Control Medium Which Destroys the Beetle Grub. 



Japidemic contains the living spores of the bacterium (Bacillus popilliae) 

 which causes the milky disease of Japanese Beetle grubs. After years of 

 study of a number of disease causing organisms 

 by the Bureau of Entomology of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, it was found that the 

 bacteria of the milky disease is the most effective, 

 as it multiplies rapidly in the beetle grub and soon 

 causes its death. 



Japidemic is distributed on top of the ground or 

 on turf in grub infested areas. It is not to be 

 used as a spray, as it has no direct effect upon 

 the adult beetle. One treatment under favorable 

 conditions will permit the rapid spread of the dis- 

 ease, and destroy the grubs within the area. The 

 bacteria remains alive for a long period, and is 

 ready to infect and kill successive broods of Jap- 

 anese beetle grubs as they move about in the 

 soil, feeding on plant roots. 



Japidemic is harmless to grass and other plant life, 

 and has no ill effects on human beings or warm 

 blooded animals. JAPIDEMIC is a biological prod- 

 uct requiring exacting laboratory equipment, which 

 of necessity limits the quantity in which it can be 

 produced. One pound will treat approximately 

 4,000 square feet. 



Price per pound $5.00 postpaid.
