ARTIFICIAL MANURE 
(Patented in the United States and Abroad) 
ADCO is a powder which, when mixed with almost 
any non-woody vegetable waste and kept moist, grad¬ 
ually converts the mass into real manure fully equal 
to the farmyard product in fertilizing power, but free 
from foul odor, flies, weed-seeds, etc. The process is 
perfectly simple and not at all laborious. 
GARDENERS 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 livestock.

(Enough for a heap 10 ft. x 10 ft. x 6 ft., 
making about three tons of manure) 
ADCO, in 25-lb. bags, each.$2.35 
(Enough for 12 wheelbarrow loads of garden 
waste, making one-half ton of manure)

PEAT MOSS—Saves Moisture 
Mixed into heavy clay. Peat Moss keeps the soil 
porous so that moisture can circulate freely during 
the hot spells when clay bakes hard. In sandy soils, 
Peat Moss captures and retains the moisture which 
would otherwise too quickly run away. As a thin 
mulch over any planted surface, it keeps down weeds, 
attracts moisture from above, and protects under¬ 
moisture from evaporation. 
Imported—A splendid fine grained type for pre¬ 
serving moisture. Spread thinly on the lawn or on 
the surface of pot plants. Bale $2.25.
