NUVIDA PLANT FOOD EMERALD LAWN GRASS 
Nuvida Plant Food is manufactured by us and we guarantee that 
it contains all the elements required and in the proper proportion 
to produce a luxuriant growth. It is a clean, odorless material 
and, being quick in action, the effect can be noticed within a 
very short time by the rich green coloring and that velvety ap¬ 
pearance so much sought after. Its superiority over stable manure 
can scarcely be estimated, as the latter, in addition to disfiguring 
the lawn by its unsightly appearance, also gives out an unpleasant 
odor, and always contains weeds and other undesirable seeds.

750 sq. ft., $1.15; 50 lb. sack for 1500 sq. ft., $2.00; 100 lb. sack for
