soil ration. Its base is a rich nitrogen soil 
humus, thoroughly composted, lively with soil 
building bacteria, and heavily reinforced with plant 
foods. The high prices of nitrogen, phosphorus 
and potash in chemical fertilizers this year, gives 
Alphano, which contains them all, a remarkable 
value for the money.

For your lawn, Alphano is ideal. Being odorless, 
you can use it any time. Being in granulated form, 
ymi can easily distribute it evenly and raking it in 
thoroughly, it quickly reaches the roots. Being rich 
in both the quickly available and the gradually lib- 
erated l"i ids. it at once stimulates growth and con- 
tinues to sustain it fur a surprisingly long time. It 
absorbs live times its weight in moisture, protecting 
your grass against dry weatl er. 
FOR YOUR GARDEN 
Si i rich is Alphano in humus and plant foods that it 
will in niie season convert a compact, unproductive 
lumpy clay into a fertile, open, friable soil, easy 
tn work. Or it will bind together a light, loose 
sandy soil, and make it highly productive. For 
flowers and vegetables, it is equally resultful. Being 
sanitary and entirely free from the many 
dangerous infections carried by stable fer- 
tilizer its health side argues strongly for it.
