Hyper*Huimis Fertilizer 
Makes garden soil more active. Makes plants germinate 
better. Produces more and crisper vegetables. Makes lawns 
greener and flowers brighter Not a plant “stimulant,” but a 
soil builder. Unlike chemical stimulants which accomplish 
speedy plant growth at expense of the soil, Hyper-Humus 
becomes an active part of the soil itself, rich in the soil¬ 
building and bacteria encouraging materials prescribed by 
Nature. It is, therefore, permanently constructive, a rich, 
black, moist, natural compost. Hyper-humus will not burn 
your lawn. It is clean, odorless, free from weed seeds, and is 
Nature’s sponge in the soil; gathering and retaining moisture; 
separating the particles of heavy clay; binding together the 
sandy particles. Hyper-Humus can be applied at any desired 
time for gardening purposes. Spread it on the ground and 
rake or dig it in the same as fine manure or peat. Thoroughly 
mix with soil in the row or hill before sowing the seeds.
