FERTILIZER AND 
Armour’s Lawn and Garden Fertilizer. A “green velvet” lawn 
cannot be maintained without plant food. Grass and plants need food 
as well as water and sunshine. Armour’s Lawn and Garden Fertilizer 
is especially designed for general use around the home garden. No 
better all-round fertilizer could be prepared either in analysis or com¬ 
ponent materials. One hundred pounds contains as much plant food 
as a ton of barnyard manure. Distribute this quantity evenly over 2500 
square feet of lawn and sprinkle gently but thoroughly—sufficient to 
wash it down to the ground but not enough to float it into the low places 
in the lawn. That’s all there is to it—no more smell, no unsightly dis¬ 
figurement of the lawn, no attendant train of objectionable weeds and 
grasses. 5 cts. per lb., 25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., S3.00.

for the lawn. It should be applied by sprinkling lightly over the grass, 
much as one would sow grass seed. It requires no raking in. The color 
is not conspicuous and there is no objectionable odor. 
For the Garden. After the crop has been harvested in the fall, the 
garden should be given a good coating of Sheep Manure. In the spring 
put on another light coat and turn it under, or sow lightly in the rows.

and they will be of superior quality. This product is the best fertilizer
