PERFECT GREENS 
Poor greens, faded in color, spotted, short of 
root, hard in dry weather, soggy in wet weather 
or unusually springy, are a great handicap to 
Clubs and players alike, from the standpoint of 
increased maintenance and unsatisfactory playing 
conditions. Aside from improper drainage, such 
faults can usually be traced directly to the soil, 
and invariably the answer lies in insufficient soil¬ 
building and bacteria-encouraging materials pre¬ 
scribed by Nature. Of these agents, humus is 
most vital. 
HYPER-HUMUS has been recognized by lead¬ 
ing soil authorities as the longest lasting, the most 
efficient and thus the most economical source of 
organic material. Impartial experiments have 
shown that this material, in comparison with 
manures, spent mushroom soil and peat moss, is 
by far the most resistant to decomposition and 
therefore may be incorporated with the soil in 
smaller amounts to produce an equivalent effect. 
Extracted from native peat deposits, which 
have been rigidly cultivated for over twenty 
years, Hyper-Humus is entirely free of weed 
seeds, is well-rotted and finely ground ready for 
use. It is a standard product, uniform in quality 
and may be obtained at any season of the year. 
NEW GREENS—The experience of many 
famous golf courses which give full credit to 
Hyper-Humus for their excellent turf conditions, 
is sufficient proof of the value of this material in 
constructing new greens. Hyper-Humus should 
be thoroughly mixed with the top 6 to 8 inches of 
local soil at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per 1000 square 
feet, depending on the texture of the soil. 
TOP DRESSING—Up-to-date greenskeepers 
have found in Hyper-Humus the ideal source of 
organic material for top-dressing preparations. 
Finely pulverized, free of any solid matter, weed 
seeds or fungous disease spores, odorless, and 
with a pure organic content of over 90% it is far 
superior and in the long run, more economical 
than any other top-dressing material. 
One part of Hyper-Humus, two of loam and 
three of sand will make an ideal dressing for 
average requirements. Variants of this formula 
will, of course, depend on local conditions. 
W T e will be pleased to have a trained Hyper- 
Humus engineer consult with you on soil problems. 
Prices, delivered to destination, will be quoted 
on request.
