Nitrophoska 15-30-15 
THE CONCENTRATED COMPLETE FERTILIZER

richness of the soil) is enough to fertilize 1000 square feet of lawn or 
garden. It may be spread broadcast by hand, dissolved in water and 
applied with a sprinkling-can, or mixed with such materials as peat 
moss and humus before applying. 1-Ib. cans 35c; 5-lb. bags $1.25; 
10-lb. bags $2.00; 25-Ib. bags $3.25; 100-lb. bags $8.00. 
Clay’s Imported Fertilizer

plied only in the originator’s bags. 50 lbs. $7.25; 100-Ib. lots $13.50. 
Pownal Magnesium Lime 
It must be remembered that Lime is used chiefly to correct the 
acidity or bad physical condition of soils, rather than as plant-food. 
It does not furnish the elements supplied by commercial fertilizers, 
and hence can never take their place. Use 100 pounds every 33 feet 
each way—equal to 2 tons per acre.

For making Artificial Manure. Dry leaves, mixed 
with Adco and kept moist, turn into excellent 
manure. So do flower-stalks, cuttings, pea-vines, 
and almost any other kind of non-woody, vegetable waste. Adco is 
a powder which, mixed with vegetable matter and kept moist, turns 
the latter into real manure, but without odor, Hies, etc. The process 
is perfectly simple and not at all laborious.
