MARVEL “Q. A.” 
(Q. A. QUICK ACTION) 
The best all around fertilizer for the city 
gardener; clean and odorless. Remember, it’s 
all fertilizer; no filler. Marvel is quick in ac¬ 
tion, a giant in strength, and the small amount 
necessary to use makes it the cheapest and most 
efficient high-grade fertilizer on the market. A 
spoonful to a plant, a cupful to a rosebush or 
hill of potatoes. Always mix Marvel thoroughly 
with the soil and when used as a “top dress¬ 
ing” on lawns it should be sprinkled or wet 
down at once.

colored virgin soil, formed years ago by the 
growth and decay of mosses, aquatic plants, 
decomposed vegetable matter taken from the 
bottom of drained fresh water lakes. It is 
dried and packed under pressure into burlap 
wrapped bales about 3% feet long and 2 feet 
square, weighing about 175 pounds. It being 
shipped to America from Germany and Holland 
in car lots, yes, even boat load lots. It’s a 
product nurserymen, horticulturists, florists and 
gardeners have wanted for years. It is a mois¬ 
ture retaining humus; an important aid in sav¬ 
ing soil fertility. Adds humus to the soil, mak¬ 
ing the ground more pliable and improves the 
general texture and condition. Conserves mois¬ 
ture in light, sandy soil; contributes effective 
drainage and lightens heavy soil. 
Used in landscape work, on and over lawns, 
vegetable gardens, flower beds and in potting 
soil, as a mulch over seeds or plants. It is 
really a wonderful factor in many ways.
