This year — more than ever before — re- | 
turns from the garden count! For best 
results, constant fertilization is just as jj 
essential as cultivation. If, when ferti- 
lizing, you supply plant-food that plants 
can absorb quickly, bigger crops are 
sure to follow. 
Natural Humus | 
is nature’s own plant food. Scattered along 
the rows in liberal quantities and “hoed in,” 
it will stimulate development of vegetables, g 
hasten their maturity. Sow it in the rows of 
July-made gardens! Before replanting ex- 
hausted rows, replenish their fertility with jj 
Commercial Humus. Its effect on trans- 
planted plants like lettuce, beets, celery, 
cabbage, etc., is most remarkable, at low cost.

This shows what happens shortly after weeding by hand. The weeds have 
been only temporarily checked and soon grow again. Just one application of 
Atlas and all those weeds would disappear permanently — for the whole year.

Kill the Weeds 
Now is the time. Weeds mar 
the appearance of drive-ways, 
paths, walks, gutters, tennis 
courts — everywhere. 
Hand -weeding is costly and 
must be done over and over again. 
Besides, labor should be put to 
more productive work. 
The answer is Atlas Chemical 
Weed-Killer. It comes in highly 
concentrated liquid form. You 
mix it with 20 parts water and 
apply in sprinkling can. Atlas 
enters the plant at the surface and 
soaks down to the deepest root. 
Weeds die in a few days and the 
ground round about is sterilized 
for all season. 
One gallon of Atlas Weed-Killer 
keeps 600 sq. ft. clean for the 
whole year. 
Sample offer 
We will furnish you a trial 2 qt. 
can of Atlas Weed-Killer on receipt 
of $1.00 and this coupon, prepaid 
if you mention your dealer’s name.
