The object of this Dictionary is to give the reader instant access to clear, concise, ac¬ 
curate information. Complete descriptions and details on exactly how to grow all the 
commonly cultivated plants in the country—flowers, fruits, vegetables, shrubs, trees, 
and vines—all literally under your thumb. It is invaluable to both professional and am¬ 
ateur alike. We use this more than any other book we have.

jBea^mold 
Nature’s own fertilizer and soil conditioner. To realize the great value of Leafmold one 
has only to look at the soil and the resulting plant growth in the forest. Most of the 
plants in cultivation were developed by nature under conditions where decaying vege¬ 
tation is the only source of plant food, and it naturally follows that they will do better 
under cultivation if given the same elements. Our Leafmold is made from selected 
leaves, finely screened, to which nothing has been added or taken away. This is the same 
material we use extensively in our own growing. 
75 cents per sack (about 2 1 /2 cubic feet).
