Try These Two New Fertilizers! 
The two new fertilizers described below, represent a new idea and 
we believe a most decided improvement in commercial plant foods. We 
strongly recommend them to our customers. 
C H A R - G R O 
The New Charcoal Base Fertilizer — 4-16-4 
The plant food in this fertilizer is impregnated in Wood Charcoal and 
formed into small, clean, granular pellets, each of which is a complete 
balanced fertilizer, thus assuring even distribution of the plant food. 
Granular, fertilizer is recommended by leading authorities. 
Char-Gro is clean, dustless, odorless and easy to apply. These pellets may 
be applied either by hand or with a spreader on top of the ground or worked in. 
Applied on top of the ground the pellets soon work into the soil. It is not necessary 
to handle messy, smelly fertilizer. 
Char-Gro is economical to use. It contains 4% Nitragen, 16% Available 
Phosphoric Acid, and 4% Potash. (More units of plant food than most garden 
fertilizers.) The charcoal in Char-Gro has high moisture holding properties, 
releasing the plant food slowly as it is needed by the plants. There is no waste 
by leeching. Use only % lb. to 1)4 lbs. to 100 sq. ft. for the lawn or garden. 
5 Lbs. 70c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. 85c; 25 Lbs. $1.50; 
50 Lbs. $2.50; 100 Lbs. $4.00. Write for prices on lots of 500 lbs. or more. 
CHAR-TOP 
New Top Dressing for Lawns, Gardens and Shrubs 
An Ideal Combination of Charcoal, Peat Moss and Plant Food 
This material acts both as a soil conditioner and plant food. It adds 
humus to sandy soil and makes heavy clay soil more friable and free from 
baking. It has high moisture holding qualities and warms, aerates and 
fertilizes the soil. Contains no weed seed, and will not sour the soil. 
Analysis 1-4-1 
CHAR-TOP is Clean, Odorless and Easy to Apply. Simply spread 
a half inch layer on top of the garden or lawn or about 10 lbs. to 40 sq. ft. 
50 Lb. bag (about 3 bu.) $2.00. Purchaser pays transportation.

PEAT MOSS 
Add Humus to Your Lawn and Garden 
Peat Moss has proved itself to be invaluable 
as a humus adding material for the lawn and 
garden and more is being used each year. It 
is actually partially decayed moss and aquatic 
plants, is light brown color, entirely odor¬ 
less and very easy to handle, and is absolute¬ 
ly free from weed seeds. 
Peat Moss puts the soil in the best condition for 
the growth of plants. It has the ability to loosen 
hard land and make it more friable and enables 
light sandy soil to hold water better. Peat Moss 
and fertilizer make an ideal clean odorless substitute 
for stable manure which is so hard to get and disagreeable to use. 
Peat Moss is like a sponge; it actually takes up a large amount of water and 
holds it until the plants can use it. It is especially good when used as a mulch, 
either to hold moisture in the summer or to protect plants from winter injury. 
It has many uses among which the most common are: To mix with soil to make it 
friable or to hold water; to mulch evergreens and also bulbs and plants during the 
winter and as a dressing on lawns to hold moisture daring dry weather. 
HARRIS’ PEAT MOSS is the best grade of granulated Horticultural Peat Moss. 
It is clean, free from sticks and dirt. 
Peat Moss comes in large bales closely compressed, and wrapped in burlap. A 
bale makes enough loose material to cover 250 to 300 square feet one inch deep. 
PRICE: Full size single bale, $2.75; 3 bales or more $2.60 per bale,

S E M E SAN 
Makes Good Seed Grow Better 
We have been using and recommending Semesan for over 
10 years and we are convinced by our long experience on our 
own farm and green houses that it pays to use Semesan. 
In our greenhouses, Semesan has proved very reliable in 
preventing “damping off” of seedlings. We formerly went 
through the laborious process of “steaming” our greenhouse 
soil to kill the “damping off” fungus, but now we simply 
water the flats with the normal Semesan solution with equal¬ 
ly good results. Since we started to use Semesan we 
have not steamed a bit of soil. 
For Corn and Beans. Sometimes due to weather condi¬ 
tions beyond the grower’s control, corn and beans of high ger¬ 
mination do not grow, but rot in the ground. On one plant¬ 
ing of sweet corn seed of high germination treated with Semesan we had (practi¬ 
cally double the stand which we obtained from the same seed planted at the same 
time but not treated. The use of a few ounces of Semesan nearly doubled 
the yield of corn for us. 
Treatment with the various Semesan products listed below effectively cleanses 
most vegetable, flower and field seed of seed borne organism and diseases, in most 
cases increasing the stand and consequently the crop. Semesan is easy to use with 
full directions on each package. 
Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy crop insurance. 
You Can Buy Semesan in Following Forms: 
SEMESAN can be applied in either the liquid or convenient dust form, to 
prevent or control effectively many diseases and fungoid growths borne by seeds, 
seed pieces, plants, grafts and soils. It is harmless to seed and plant life but ex¬ 
tremely poisonous to disease and fungous organisms. Directions on each package. 
2 Oz. 35c; 1 Lb. $2.25 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. $9.90. 
SEMESAN Jr. New Improved. A new less expensive form for the dry 
dust disinfection of both field and sweet corn seeds. 
Its use protects the seed from rotting in the ground and makes possible earlier 
planting which generally results in higher prices and increased yields. The cost 
is so little that we believe growers cannot afford to plant com that has not. been 
treated. 2 oz. treats 1 bu. seed. 
4 Oz. 35c; 1 Lb. $1.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. $4.75. 
SEMESAN BEL. New Improved. For seed potatoes. One pound of 
the New Improved Semesan Rel will treat 50 to 60 bushels of cut potatoes. It 
possesses great disease control properties especially in respect to control of Rhiz- 
octonia and seed-bom Scab. The “Instantaneous dip” method saves time and 
labor. Semesan Rel. does not harm the seed pieces. 
4 Oz. 45c; 1 Lb. $1.50 transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. $6.75. 
CERESAN. New Improved. For treating grain. This is the only dust 
disinfectant which has effectively controlled such grain diseases as slinking smut 
of wheat, stripe disease of barley, loose smut of barley and oats. Ceresan is 
recommended by leading authorities. It will not harm the seed or grain drill. 
Only )4 oz. required to effectively treat a bushel of wheat, oats or barley. 
1 Lb. 70c transportation paid. Not paid: 5 Lbs. $3.00.
