Order ADCO Now 
T HE time to order ADCO is now. ADCO should 
be on hand whenever vegetable refuse begins 
to accumulate, and there are few months in the 
year when this is not happening. In the frozen 
North it may be difficult to make ADCO Manure 
during the Winter months, but elsewhere it can be 
done at any time. Every gardener should start the 
Spring with an ADCO bag near at hand. Vegetable 
growers need it then, and much more of it later 
when stalks, vines and cuttings furnish abundant 
waste. Farmers can use ADCO at the time of 
threshing, treating the straw as it comes from the 
thresher, and again late in the Fall, when corn 
stover is ready for conversion into ADCO Manure. 
In the Autumn everybody who has dry leaves 
needs ADCO to save this valuable fertilizer from 
destruction. All in all, there it not a month in the 
year when ADCO may not be used. It has become 
as essential to good gardening as the rake itself. 
How to Order ADCO 
A DCO can be had in packages of various sizes, 
designed to meet the needs of ever} thing 
from the smallest garden to the greatest plantation. 
ADCO, in 25-lb. bags 
(Enough for 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden waste, 
making one-half ton of manure) 
ADCO, in 100-lb. bags (4-25’s) 
(Enough for a heap 10 ft. x 7 ft. x 6 ft., 
making about two tons of manure) 
ADCO, in 150-lb. bags 
(Enough for a heap 10 ft. x 10 ft. x 6 ft., 
making about three tons of manure) 
Field ADCO, in ton lots 
at special prices to farmers, market gardeners, etc. 
Each package is accompanied by full, explicit direc¬ 
tions. The process is so simple that mistake or failure 
is almost impossible.

Manure! More Manure! 
There’s nothing like manure. Nothing can take 
its. place. Nothing else is so good for the soil. It 
has only one fault: there never has been enough 
of it. If there had been, chemical fertilizers would 
never have been thought of. With the coming of 
the automobile and the tractor, manure has been 
getting scarcer than ever, but fortunately science 
has now come to the rescue. Anybody can make 
excellent manure, the real thing, out of almost any 
kind of vegetable refuse without animals by what 
is known as the “ADCO Process”. 
ADCO 
(Registered Trade Mark) 
is a powder which, when mixed with almost any 
non-woody vegetable waste and kept moist, grad¬ 
ually converts the mass into 
ARTIFICIAL MANURE 
(Patented in the United States, Canada and Abroad) 
This artificial manure is real manure, not a mere 
compost. It is fully equal to the farmyard pro¬ 
duct in fertilizing power, but free from foul odor, 
flies, weed-seeds, etc. The process is perfectly 
simple and not at all laborious. 
GARDENERS, by using their refuse, can now 
have plenty of manure at low cost and little trouble. 
FARMERS, by utilizing straw, corn stalks, etc., 
can secure their manure without the expense and 
labor of maintaining live-stock. 
VEGETABLE GROWERS can turn back into 
their soil as rich manure the stalks, cuttings, vines, 
leaves, etc., heretofore wasted. 
FLORISTS, NURSERYMEN and FRUIT 
GROWERS can convert leaves, etc., into valuable 
fertilizer for their plants, trees and bulbs. 
No plot of cultivated ground is too large or too 
small to benefit by use of the ADCO Process
