Tobacco-Stem Meal 
Used by itself, or in combination with ANY commercial chemical fertilizer, 
Tobacco-Stem Meal is a valuable fertilizer which has been used for years by 
practical growers. Growers who have been in the habit of using ANY chemical 
fertilizer will find by test that, when used with Tobacco-Stem Meal half-and-half, 
it will increase the value of that fertilizer by adding humus to the soil; also sup¬ 
plying organic potash and nitrogen. 
Tobacco-Stem Meal when used alone should be applied at the rate of one to 
two tons to the acre. For lawns and small gardens; five to ten pounds to the 
100 square-feet of surface. 
Both the Connecticut Valley and Lancaster County in Penna. are widely 
famed as rich farming sections. In the first mentioned "locality the raw, coarse 
tobacco stalks and stems from the tobacco crop have been used effectively for 
many years as a fertilizer on grass, hayland, potatoes, etc., to maintain fertility. 
Lancaster County is one of the most successful and prosperous farming sections 
in the country and, in this rich section, tobacco stalks and stems have been also 
used to produce heavy yields of potatoes and other crops, and with excellent 
success on wheat, grasses and fruit crops. 
Tobacco-Stem Meal, very naturally, has decided advantages over the use of 
coarse, raw, unground, non-sterilized tobacco stalks and stems. After processing, 
it carries an average analysis of \'A% to 2% of Ammonia, and V/ 2 % to 6% of 
water soluble Potash. 
Don’t Envy A Rich, Velvety-green Lawn; 
Plan N-O-W To Have One of Your Own 
Apply Tobacco Stem Meal at suitable intervals, two or three times a year, to 
lawns and golf fairways, 
CROW BETTER FLOWERS AND MORE OF THEM 
Use Tobacco-Stem Meal on your Rose beds, Dahlias and Annual Bedding 
Plants; use it in the Perennial Garden; feed your Evergreens and Flowering 
Shrubs. 
You will also find Tobacco-Stem Meal valuable in the home vegetable gar¬ 
den, as w'ell as for use on general farm and truck crops, small fruits, such as 
strawberries, raspberries and blackberries; apple orchards; grasslands; in the 
greenhouse; for composting, etc. 
Tobacco-Stem Meal offers you a natural plant food; easily and 
quickly applied, and at moderate cost. One ton of this material is 
considered the equal of about four tons of average raw manure. 
To those of our patrons who love beautiful 
home surroundings, and who have this ideal in 
mind, as well as to those who wish to produce 
more abundant and more profitable crops, we sug¬ 
gest that you give Tobacco-Stem Meal a thorough 
test for yourself this year, and that you send in 
a trial order NOW, while the matter is directly 
before you.

- BONE MEAL - 
Bone Meal h. a . s * on 8 ^ een recognized and used as a valuable Fer¬ 
tilizer for all purposes; safe and effective always. It 
is especially effective in the Rose Garden; amongst the Flowering 
Shrubs and on the Lawn. For Lilies it is ideal as they will not stomach 
animal manure. 
Being slow in its action, it is well to use Bone Meal as a supple¬ 
mental fertilizer along with a quicker acting sort; then you have the 
almost immediate benefit of the last mentioned and, when its effect 
has been utilized, by that time the Bone Meal will have decayed in 
the soil, thus releasing its fertilizing elements which become available 
food for your plants, greatly prolonging the feeding process and with 
enhanced results. 
BONE MEAL is unusually rich in nitrogen and phosphoric acid 
which are the two principal plant foods.

Domestic Peat Moss 
Peat MoSS ! s excellent for lightening heavy soils, and for increas¬ 
ing the water holding capacity of light, sandy soils. 
It is also valuable for adding humus to the soil. 
When planting new trees and shrubs it is an excellent idea to mix a 
liberal portion of peat moss with the top soil and apply this mixture 
about the roots of the new planting. 
While Peat Moss does not have the insecticide value of our Tobacco 
Mulch, described elsewhere on this page, it has otherwise much the 
same value when used for mulching around plants and is in great de¬ 
mand for heavy mulching around Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Evergreens, 
Flowering Shrubs, etc. Its property is to give protection from frost in 
winter and to keep the soil cool and moist in summer; also keeping 
down the growth of weeds. 
Flower beds will be found to be much improved if given a liberal 
coating of Peat Moss before digging. Dig this material well into the 
soil before making your plantings

- Tobacco Mulch - 
A ‘WONDER WORKER” IN THE CARDEN 
I his valuable product is made from the tobacco stem of the cigar leaf, 
chopped into rather coarse pieces and with its nicotine content intact. There¬ 
fore “ ls not only valuable as a fertilizer but as an insecticide as well. It is 
a product that can save you from much unpleasant and arduous labor in your 
gardening operations if used amongst your flowers, shrubbery and evergreens. 
Annual sales of Tobacco Mulch are .very large, and continually increasing as 
more and more people learn of its uses. Briefly stated, here is what Tobacco 
Mulch may-be^xpected to do for you. 
1. It saves you much hard labor for, after the ground has been hoed or 
dug in the spring, no further cultivation is necessary for the balance of the 
season if you apply a mulch or coat of tobacco stems an inch or two deep. 
2- Keeps down weeds and, if one does succeed in straggling through here 
and there, it is but the work of a moment to quickly remove it by hand. 
3. Conserves moisture by retarding evaporation from the soil and conse¬ 
quently. 
4. Keeps the soil cool and moist in even the heated days of midsummer. 
5. Keeps down insect pests and drives out ants, moles, worms, snails, etc. 
6. Provides humus or organic matter in the soil when dug into the ground 
the succeeding season before applying a new mulch. 
7. A valuable fertiliser. 
8. Gives a neat, orderly appearance to the beds and borders by hiding the 
stark, Ifiare earth and providing a neat warm appearing blanket of tobacco- 
brown. , 
9. Valuable as a winter mulch if applied two to four inches deep; then 
lightly covered over with stalks, leaves or other coarse material in excessively 
cold sections. 
Tobacco Mulch is a "wonder worker” in the garden. It will very materially 
lighten the labor and, at the same time, vastly increase the joys of gardening. 
After the first spring work is done you can put the hoe away and forget it 
entirely! until the succeeding season.

Mood and Bone 
This fertilizer is one of the quickest acting to be 
found anywhere; its chief element being nitrogen. 
It is an entirely animal product; safe to use; ex¬ 
tremely rapid in action. For stimulating plants 
that show the need of prompt and quick attention 
for best results, it is highly recommended. 
When rapid action and quickest results are de¬ 
sired; whether in the greenhouse, on the lawn, or 
in the flower or vegetable garden, we advise the 
use of Blood and Bone. It surely and quickly 
gives results.
