Fertilizer, the result 
of innumerable ex¬ 
periments in turf-

product of nature, contains elements not usually 
found in chemical Fertilizers, such as magnesium and 
iron and other rare elements in compounds which are 
broken up by the bacterial action of the soil-organisms. 
Naco contains no weed or other seeds but is not 
sterile, for it contains millions of beneficial bacteria 
that are continually at work in the soil, breaking down the 
different compounds of plant-food into elements which can be 
taken up by the grasses as plant-food.

FOR MAKING ARTIFICIAL MANURE 
Good gardening depends on manure—chemicals, prepared 
fertilizers, nothing can take its place. You must have manure. 
Adco is the powder that when mixed with straw, stalks, leaves, 
cuttings, garden waste of any kind, turns it into manure. This 
Adco Manure is real manure, identical chemically and in fertiliz¬ 
ing power with the old-fashioned kind, but much cleaner. 
25-lb. bag (enough for 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden waste, 
making pi ton of manure), $2; postpaid $2.40. 
150-lb. bag (enough for a heap 10 x 10 x 6 ft., making about 
3 tons of manure), $10.50. 
Each package Is accompanied by full, explicit directions. The process 
is so simple that mistake or failure is almost impossible.
