FERTILIZERS 
MILORGANITE 
The ideal turf fertilizer. Milorganite is a unique plant food for 
grass. It is free from weed seeds, and more effective than natural 
manures without producing objectionable odors and unsightly surfaces. 
Being supplied with all the growth producing plant food elements, it 
differs from ordinary fertilizers by producing results over longer periods. 
Applied in the spring, Milorganite maintains rich velvety grass 
throughout the summer. A second application in early fall is often 
advisable to produce vigorous turf capable of withstanding adverse 
winter weather, and enables the grass to start off earlier in the spring. 
You can obtain equally good turf by using 30 to 40 pounds Milorganite 
per 1000 squai’e feet of area, at each application. In renovating old 
lawns where the grass is unusually thin, the use of some grass seed is 
advisable. It should be sowed after applying the Milorganite and raked 
lightly to barely cover the seed. 100-lb. bag, $3.25.
