Rich Velvety Lawns 
All Summer Long 
L ack of proper plant food in the soil ac¬ 
counts for more poor lawns, scrag'g'ly 
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 tilled 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. 
For Lu.\uriant Lawns 
Three applications a year, one in early 
spring, one in early summer, and another in 
the fall (4 to 6 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. 
For Abundant Vegetables 
Milorganite is an excellent source of plant 
food for flowers and vegetables. From 5 to 6 
pounds per 100 square feet scattered uni¬ 
formly over the surface and w'orked into the soil prior 
to planting produces sturdy plants that are vigorous 
and healthy. A second application of 3 to 4 pounds 
per 100 square feet worked into the soil about . a 
month later, will ensure a better yield and better flowers.
