Fertilizers 
Fertilizers for the Lawn. Plant food, like human 
food, must be properly prepared before it can be 
consumed. In the case of fertilizer from which 
we obtain plant food, this preparation is done by 
bacteria that live in the humus of the soil. It is, 
therefore, very evident that we must have humus 
before we can have plant food. Organic fertiliz¬ 
ers, such as Milorganite, Bone Meal, Blood 
Meal, etc., can supply this humus but inorganic 
fertilizers, such as most Commercial prepara¬ 
tions, should not be used without first applying 
Manure, Peat Moss, or other forms of humus.

21x21x40 inches, sufficient to cover 240 square 
feet one inch deep. Per bale, $4.00. 
Milorganite. The ideal turf fertilizer. Milorganite 
is a unique plant food for grass. It is free from 
weed seeds, and more effective than natural 
manures without producing objectionable odors 
and unsightly surfaces. Being supplied with all 
the growth producing plant food elements, it 
differs from ordinary fertilizers by producing re¬ 
sults over longer periods. Applied in the spring, 
Milorganite maintains rich velvety grass through¬ 
out the summer. A second application in early 
fall is often advisable to produce vigorous turf 
capable of withstanding adverse winter weather, 
and enables the grass to start off earlier in the 
spring. This is the secret of the successful green- 
keepers on golf courses. You can obtain equally 
good turf by using 30 to 40 pounds Milorganite 
per 1000 square feet of area, at each application. 
In renovating old lawns where the grass is un¬ 
usually thin, the use of some grass seed is ad¬ 
visable. It should be sowed after applying the 
Milorganite and raked lightly to barely cover 
the seed. 100-lb. bag, $3.25.
