ALPHANO 
Takes Place of Manure for Lawns and Garden 
Alphano is nature’s own soil en- 
richer. 
It not only takes the place of all 
kinds of manure, but is far better 
in every way. 
It’s richer. 
Contains no weed seeds. 
Has no odor. 
Is thoroughly sanitary. 
Being in powdered form, it’s easy 
to use. 
Being rich in both the quick and 
slow acting foods, it gives both im¬ 
mediate and long lasting results. 
It’s heavily inoculated with soil 
food producing and nitrogen nodule 
making bacteria, giving it added 
value. 
4 bags of 100 pounds each for #5. 
By the ton in bags, #20. 
By the carload in bags, #16 a ton. 
By the carload in bulk. #12 a ton. 
Prices are loaded on car, at Al* 
phano, New Jersey. 
Having a liberal humus content, it 
eagerly absorbs moisture, acting as 
a valuable dry weather fortifier. 
It enriches sandv soils and holds 
them together. 
It loosens up and makes clayey 
ones friable and fertile. 
Being odorless and in a convenient 
powdered form, it makes gardening 
easy for women. 
Sold, with a guarantee that is a 
guarantee. 
For vegetables, flowers, and lawns 
we frankly believe it has no equal 
for the money. 
Send for circular giving full par¬ 
ticulars.

Grand New Gladioli 
that you want in your collection. Our catalogue describes 
them in detail. Send for it now as these new ones are selling 
fast, and stocks are limited. 
Try growing gladioli from seed. All the fine new 
prize-winning varieties first came from seed, 
however the creation of better new varieties 
depends largely on seed having an inher¬ 
itance of traits which in combination, tend 
to produce improved types. To try to produce 
just such seed has been our lifetime study. We 
offer hand -pollenized seed, the careful work 
of Mrs. A. H. Austin.
