Rich Velvety Lawns 
A11 Summer Long 
L ACK of proper plant food in the soil ac¬ 
counts for more poor lawns, scraggly 
shrubs and mediocre flowering plants than 
practically all other causes combined. 
You can have a rich velvety lawn all sum¬ 
mer long, your shrubs and trees can have 
luxuriant dark green foliage, you can take 
pride in a garden filled with healthy vege¬ 
tables and healthy flowering plants, if you 
will feed the soil with Milorganite. 
Milorganite, a unique food, scientifically prepared, 
free from weed seeds and all harmful organisms, is 
unusually long lasting and easy to apply. Because it 
releases its plant food so gradually over a long period 
of time, it can be applied in generous quantities without danger of 
burning. Seeding can follow immediately .after Milorganite is ap¬ 
plied. Milorganite is granular, it contains no dust, it will not cling 
to plants or leaves, will not cake and harden in storage, nor does it 
have a tendency to form a hard crust on the soil. 
Especially high in organic nitrogen, Milorganite also contains the 
rarer elements now recognized as being vital to plant health. 
For Abundant Vegetables and for Healthy Flowers 
Milorganite is an excellent \ lijljJf 
source of plant food for flow- nUMi mlfIf. i j.'r'ilj 
ers and vegetables. Prom 5 ft 
to 6 pounds per 100 square ' ,/ iul m ’ ' 
feet scattered uniformly over 
the surface and worked into 
the soil prior to planting 
produces sturdy plants that 
are vigorous and healthy. A 
second application of 2 to 4 
pounds per 100 square feet 
worked into the soil about a 
month later, will ensure a 
better yield and better flow¬ 
ers.

For Luxuriant Lawns 
Three applications a year, one in early 
spring, one in early summer, and another in 
the fall (4 to 5 pounds per 100 square feet 
on old lawns: 5 to 6 pounds to 100 square 
feet on new lawns—two handfuls weigh ap¬ 
proximately % lb.) will assure you a bet¬ 
ter lawn, with rich, dense turf. Milorganite 
not only gives a good, healthy color to the 
blades of grass, but, also induces better root 
development. This gives the lawn vitality to 
withstand extremes of heat and cold, mois¬ 
ture and drought, keeping it green and vel¬ 
vety all summer. It enables the grass to 
start off earlier in the spring and through 
dense growth, crowds out weeds. It works wonders on 
old lawns where the grass is sparse and thin. On new 
lawns dense sod can be obtained quickly. No wonder 
golf clubs use more Milorganite than any other fer¬ 
tilizer. 
For Better Shrubs and Leafier Trees 
Milorganite produces darker green leaves and promotes more abund¬ 
ant twig and leaf growth. For massed shrubs in beds use from 4 to 5 
pounds Milorganite per 100 square feet. On individual shrubs scat¬ 
ter 2 to 4 handfuls Milorganite around the base in a circle whose 
diameter approximates the area of root surface. 
Trees require from 5 to 
25 pounds, depending upon 
size. Place the fertilizer in 
1-inch holes punched to a 
depth of 12 inches, spaced 
regularly in a circle under 
the drip from the outside 
foliage.

PLANT BANDS 
The simplest way to handle plants for trans¬ 
planting, and fine for selling plants at market! 
These bands are very economical, 
they make an ideal worm guard: 
in transplanting into the field sim¬ 
ply put the band and all into the 
ground, thus preventing exposing 
the roots to the air. By using 
these it is even possible to trans¬ 
plant sweet corn, cucumbers, 
squash, melons, beans, etc. We do 
not put bottoms in them, so that 
in the field the roots will not be 
hindered in any way.
