ALPHANO 
Takes Place of Manure for Lawns and Garden 
m 
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 sandy 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.
