Soilmaster 
Soilmaster is a decomposed, con' 
centrated leaf-mold and decayed 
vegetation. This is the humus 
to use on lawns, around shrubs 
and in your garden. Holds seven times its weight in moisture, and 
is a good fertilizer. Rejuvenates gardens, lawns, shrubbery and 
trees; is a natural plant food, a natural soil builder; far superior 
to stable manure, has the same fertilizing value, is clean, odorless 
and does not burn; and can be applied any time and anywhere. 
Is ideal for the farm home, garden or sub' 
urban home. Requires less water after appli' 
cation than other fertilizer as it holds mois' 
ture for an indefinite period. Makes the soil 
mellow and prevents baking. Soilmaster 
goes farther, lasts longer and is more eco' 
nomical; two'bushel bag, which is approx' 
imately 100 pounds, is enough for 100 
square feet of lawn or 8 good sized shrubs 
or ornamentals. You are assured of a three 
year’s growth in two year’s time by using 
this humus. Note testimonial.

Gentlemen: 
As a result of our many years spent in the care of 
thousands of fine trees, we know that lawn trees must be 
supplied with artificial food—more especially with humus. 
After vigorous tests and use extending over a period of 
4 years, we are glad to say that Soilmaster has proven 
itself to be an ideal form of humus. Results following its 
use have been uniformly satisfactory and at times quite 
amazing. 
We therefore take pleasure in recommending the use of 
Soilmaster. Inasmuch as it is taken from the natural soil 
deposit, there seems to be no danger of overfeeding or 
burning in its generous use. 
Sincerely yours.

Sodus Acid Humus 
Rhododendrons and Blueberries, or any shrub or ornamental 
Sodus Humus will hold moisture and has the same 
fertilizer value as Soilmaster—the only difference 
between the two is that one is sour and the other is 
sweet. We recommend this Humus for Evergreens, 
that requires an acid soil.
