Natures Own Combination 
for Lawns and Gardens 
United States Government Reports and New Jersey State 
Reports Prove Greensand Marl To Be a Wonderful Soil 
Rectifier That Gives Amazing Results Wherever Used 
N EW JERSEY has long been noted for its fine 
farms and bumper crops. Many authorities 
state that there is no finer farming section in 
the country than the southern part of New 
Jersey. And it is .certain that no finer gardens, 
flowers or grass can be found anywhere else in the 
State. It is no secret that the rich fertility of the 
soil lies in the fact that for generations past the 
people of this section have been spreading Green¬ 
sand Marl on their land, many hauling it in 
trucks for miles. r- 
all important fertilizing constituents, and it is accom¬ 
panied by Greensands which act as a carrier of the 
potash lime and phosphoric acid bases. These ac¬ 
companying Greensands are life-producing consti¬ 
tuents. They become a part of the soil, keeping the 
fertilizing properties from being washed away by 
storms. L-X-R Greensand Marl is entirely free 
from weeds, is dry and may be spread with any fer¬ 
tilizing machine. It need not be plowed under the 
heavier yield of healthy, full-sized vegetables. It is 
absolutely odorless; can be stored in any climate, 
room, cellar or warehouse without deterioration. It 
will not burn the sprouts. 
An Economical Way to Try L'X'R 
Greensand Marl

rectifying abilities of L-X-R Greensand Marl

ga test bag. 
nL This bag will prove what L-X-R Greensand 
Marl will do just as convincingly as would a 
in ton. We don’t want you to buy a quantity 
until you know, just as the folks in South 
H Jersey know, what a remarkable rectifier 
L-X-R Greensand Marl is. After you have 
wl 1 tested it in your own way—after you are 
completely satisfied with the results, then 
m you can make up your mind about using it 
u|f to treat all of your garden, lawns, and 
ga flowers. All that we want to do now is to 
” first convince you. 
Make any test with the lOO pounds that 
you care to—sprinkle it on any portion of your 
lawn, plant it with seed, or try it on vegetables or 
flowers in rows, using it in test with any high grade 
fertilizer. 
If you have any piece of ground that never 
produced, treat it with L-X-R Greensand Marl and 
check results. Try it on any barren lawn or spot 
on which it is difficult to grow grass, and be guided 
by the actual results.

Marl" Marl is composed chiefly of fossil 
remains of prehistoric animals, reptiles, fish, {__ 
birds and plants. It is wonderfully rich in 
potash, phosphorus and calcium, forming a 
natural fertilizer of extraordinary effectiveness. 
Marl is both a direct and indirect fertilizer. It 
improves the chemical and physical conditions of 
soils, corrects acidity, unlocks insoluble plant food, 
and promotes nitrification. It is very lasting in 
effect, one complete application often lasting for 
four years. The Annual Report of the New Jersey 
State Geologist. 1886, says: “The land in the vicinity 
of Holmdcl (N. J.) is a heavy loam, and has been 
brought up by the use of Marl, together with the 
barnyard manure, made on the place, from quite an 
ordinary condition, to as high a condition of fertility 
as any land in this State (N. J.) The Marl we have 
here seems beneficial to all kinds of crops or soil, 
especially potato crops.” 
Other Authorities Heartily Endorse 
Greensand Marl 
A United States Government Report, 1910, page 
761, reads: “New Jersey Marl has been of incal¬ 
culable value to the region in which it is found. It 
has raised this region from the lowest stage of 
agricultural exhaustion to a high state of improve¬ 
ment. 
“Lands which in the old style of cultivation had 
to lie fallow, by the use of Marl produce heavy 
crops of clover and grow rich while resting. Lands 
which have been worn out and left in common are 
now, by the use of this fertilizer, yielding large 
crops of the finest quality. Everywhere in the Marl 
district may be seen farms which, in former years 
would not support a family, making their owners

resisting qualities. 
soil. It can be “drilled” right in with corn or other 
seed requiring close contact with the fertilizer 
while germinating. 
The Phosphorus contained in our wonderful 
Greensand Marl is acted upon in the same manner 
as the potash. It becomes slowly soluble through 
chemical action and weathering. 
Greensand Marl increases crops of Potatoes, 
Clover. Hay, Buckwheat, Rye, Oats, Corn, Wheat, 
etc. 
For Gardens, Lawns and Flowers 
Greensand Marl is known as a remarkable grass 
grower. It is being used in city parks, by country 
clubs for golf courses, and on private estates where 
fine looking, sturdy grass that is full of rich green 
color is demanded. 
An ounce or two placed around the stem of bulbs, 
ferns, rubber plants, Easter lilies, and all varieties 
of flowers increases the growth and color of the 
plants, and produces filter blooms. 
It is ideal for the small garden, because one appli¬ 
cation will benefit for several years, and cause a

longer. Crops that never amounted to much with¬

30 -Bushel Increase From One 
Application 
Dr. J. C. Lipman, Director N. J. Experiment 
Station, writes: “Experiments carried out by the 
N. J. Station at Elmer, N. J., show that potash in 
Greensand Marl becomes available rather readily to 
the potato crop. A single application of Marl made 
in 1917, at the rate of two tons per acre, has given 
increases of 30 or more bushels per acre per year 
for four years, as compared with the check plot that 
had received an abundance of nitrogen and phos¬ 
phoric acid, but no potash.”

river bed and is • unipoo d of fossil remains
