AMERICAN 
HOP-MANURE 
"Yeast of the Earth" 
British Horticulture has long been familiar with 
Hop Manures, various brands having been avail¬ 
able in the British Isles for possibly more than half 
a century. 
Such a product is now obtainable for use in 
American Gardens, and in a very short period 
should be looked upon as an acquisition of distinct 
merit. 
"YEASTS” THE SOIL THROUGHOUT THE 
GROWING SEASON 
Because hops are acted upon by heat, the warmth 
of Spring produces a chemical action in this hop- 
manure. This action is so similar to the action of 
yeast in baking that it is called "yeasting.” This 
"yeasting” not only gives your plants the full fer¬ 
tilizing benefits of American Hop-Manure (which 
analyzes twice the fertilizing value of high-grade 
manure) but releases much of the natural mineral 
fertility of the soil itself—a fertility which always 
surprises gardeners. 
NOBODY WILL EVER WANT TO USE OLD- 
FASHIONED STABLE MANURE AFTER ONCE 
USING AMERICAN HOP MANURE 
for it engenders heat on the same principle, with¬ 
out the drawbacks attendant on the use of stable- 
manure. 
GREAT FOR MULCHING 
Either used straight, or with fertilizer mixed 
into it. On Lawns, Flower Beds, Shrubbery, etc. 
PREPARATION OF POTTING SOIL 
A fair quantity of American Hop-Manure as a 
constituent part of your Potting Soil, ensures re¬ 
tention of moisture, bacterial activity, and better 
results from fertilizers used. 
GENERAL SOIL IMPROVEMENT 
Where used plentifully in the preparation of 
Lawn Areas, Flower Beds, Vegetable Garden, and 
in the planting of Trees and Shrubbery, American 
Hop-Manure gives assurance of fine results. It aids 
fertilization and helps to a great degree the reten¬ 
tion of moisture. 
LIGHTENING OF HEAVY SOILS 
Admirable for this purpose, the results being 
astounding.
