Long Island soil is sandy, and lawns dry out easily, be- 
coming shabby and thin like the grass in the circle at the 
left. Lawns into which enough Alphano has been raked, 
hold their moisture, and the grass, throughout the usual 
seasons, stays thick and green like that in circle at right 
Alphano Humus 
The Ideal Soil-Enricher for Lawn and Garden 
j 
mm 
In planting your vegetable or 
flower seeds, sow some Alphano 
right in the drills. It gives the 
young plants plenty of the ready 
food they need for quick, strong 
growth. 
Here at last is a perfectly balanced 
soil ration that unfailingly produces 
both immediate and long-enduring fer- 
tility. No odor; no weed seeds; no con- 
tagious disease germs. This cannot be 
said of manures. 
It gives the proper tilth to the soil; it 
loosens up compact ones and binds to- 
gether loose ones. Defying dry weather, 
it acts as a soil-moistening sponge. Pre- 
vents soluble plant-foods from leaching 
away before benefiting the roots. 
It contains all the essential, soluble, 
mineral plant-foods, all of which are 
now so prohibitively high. The potash 
it contains would alone cost you 
several dollars, to say nothing of its 
phosphates and nitrogen. 
It is also liberally inoculated with Al- 
phano Inoculant, filling it with teeming- 
billions of all the nitrogen-gathering 
and -fixing bacteria for the legumes, 
such as alfalfa, clovers, peas, beans, and 
the like. 
Alphano is cheap to buy, easy to use, 
gives quick results the first season, and 
continues its benefits the next. 
It is sweet, dry, and finely granu- 
lated. 
Don't confuse it with the unprepared, 
often sour, water-logged humus sold 
under various names.

is frequently an important point to 
consider when choosing soil-en-
