25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.20. 
Sulphate of Ammonia

lawns. 5 lbs., 35c; 10 lbs., 55c; 25 lbs., 90c; 50 lbs., $1.65;

Milorganite 
The ideal fertilizer for lawns, gar¬ 
dens, flowers, shrubs and trees. 
Supplies the soil with all the ele¬ 
ments plants need for healthy, 
continuous growth. Milorganite 
works slowly and steadily—over 
an extended period. It promotes 
steady, healthy, uniform growth. 
This is an advantage, because too 
rapid growth results in a weak¬ 
ened plant structure—and the ef¬ 
fect of the fertilizer is short¬ 
lived. Milorganite contains no 
weed seeds or harmful bacteria. 
Being organic, Milorganite stimu¬ 
lates desirable soil bacteria of all 
kinds, necessary for conversion of 
water-insoluble elements into 
plant food. Being granular, Mil¬ 
organite is dustless and free flow¬ 
ing, easy to apply. Does not burn 
the lawn when applied. Golf 
courses in the United States and Canada use more Mil¬ 
organite than any other fertilizer. 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 
75c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 50 lbs., $1.95; 100 lbs.,$3.10.
