Vital Helps for Your Lawn 
Your Garden, Shrubs and Trees 
Secured by Using Alphano 
Y OU must not think that, just because 
you had some fertilizer spread on your 
garden and spaded in, you can let it 
go without giving the plants further food; 
and expect anything like top notch results. 
In the first place but a very small 
portion of the foods in the fertilizer actually 
reaches the roots, because it is next to im- 
possible to mix fertilizer lumps and chunks 
up thoroughly enough with the soil. Besides 
after a few rains, most of the food value 
has been carried down in the soil below the 
roots and for all the good done, it might 
just as well not be there. 
Alphano, if sowed in the drill with the 
seeds, is right there where the roots are. 
Being finely granulated, it becomes a direct 
part of the soil and is readily available to 
the roots. Or as a boost to 
the plants, it can be dug 
around the plants once or 
twice during the season. 
The results will be a gratify- 
ing surprise to you.

young trees; see that some is dug around

On vour lawn, more than likely you put 
the usual fertilizer and then had the best 
part of it raked off because of its unsight- 
liness and chokingof the grass. This being 
so, only the top roots were temporarily 
stimulated and when hot, dry weather 
comes, the grass will thin out and brown up. 
What it needs right now is a good top 
dressing of Alphano, well raked in. 
It will furnish food for the roots all 
summer long. 
It will fortify your lawn and vour garden 
against dry weather, because it absorbs 
five times its weight in moisture, acting 
like a huge sponge. 1 1 is odorless, so you can 
use it without any objec- 
tion, anytime, anywhere. 
It’s low cost and long en- 
during benefits make it 
practical to use freely. Order 
some. Give it a fair trial.
