ADCO ARTIFICIAL MANURE. The scarcity 

 and cost of stable manure has made its ex- 

 tensive use impracticable, and the compost 

 pile, althoug'h of undeniable value, is a long 

 and tedious undertaking. The process of 

 making artificial manure consists of merely 

 making a heap of all garden trash, wetting 

 it thoroughly and adding the bacterial pow- 

 der Adco. In the course of three or four 

 months this heap is converted by action of 

 the growing bacteria into excellent manure.

Bulb Growing Accessories 



BULB FIBER A specially prepared fiber for 

 growing bulbs indoors, either in pots, bowls, 

 or jardinieres. It contains all the plant 

 foods necessary to the best growth of bulbs 

 and is clean and pleasant to handle. Soak 

 it in water over night before using. Squeeze 

 some of the water out and use the same as 

 soil. Pots will not require drainage and 

 bowls or jars that have no drainage holes 

 in the bottom may be used. When watering, 

 soak thoroughly, let stand for five to ten 

 minutes for the fiber to absorb all it will 

 hold, and then tilt the bowl and pour off any 

 excess water. Any bulbs that can be grown 

 in soil can be grown in fiber. V2 pk., 30c; 

 pk., 50c; bu., $1.50. Postage 15c per pk.
