PROTECT YOUR YOUNG FRUIT AND SHADE TREES 
from Sun-Scald, Mice, Rabbits, Borers and Many Injurious Insects 
i 
Girdling the trunks of transplanted and newly planted fruit and shade trees has been practiced by 
U. S. Agricultural Colleges—Soil Conservation Service—State and County Highway Commissions— 
State College Extension Service—Landscape Architects—Park Executives, and Foresters for a number 
of years. 
The use of Crinkled Duplex Waterproof Kraft is advocated as a thoroughly tried and proved pro¬ 
cedure of wrapping tree trunks to provide protection against sun-scald, borer attacks, and the 
ravages of rabbits and field mice. 
It is an established fact that rodents will not molest anything containing asphaltum. 
The successful planting of trees has been done on a larger scale in recent years than ever before, 
due to the scientific handling and proper preservation of their trunks. 
Danger resulting from sun-scald to thin bark trees when transplanted is frequently serious if the 
trunks of the trees are not completely covered. The op>en wounds offer places for insects to deposit 
their eggs. 
Waterproof Kraft Spiral Wrap not only provides protection 
against sun scald, but prevents adult boring insects from lay¬ 
ing their eggs any place on the bark. 
Provides security against frost and cold and protection 
against the ravages of rabbits and field mice. 
Rolls are 4 in. wide, about 155 lineal ft. 8 in. diameter, 
and weighs about 2'/2 pounds. Price per roll, 70e; 5 rolls, 
$3.00; 12 rolls, $6.00. One roll will do about 30 small trees.

SOILMASTER 
Soilmaster is a decomposed, concentrated 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 
time and anywhere. Is ideal for the farm home, garden 
or suburban home. Requires less water after application 
than other fertilizer as it holds moisture for an indefinite 
period. Makes the soil mellow and prevents baking. 
Soilmaster goes farther, lasts longer and is more econom¬ 
ical- two-bushel bag, which is approximately 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 testimonials. 
SODUS ACID HUMUS 
Sodus Humus will hold moisture and has the same fertilizer value as Sqilrnaster 
—the only difference between the two is that one is sour and the 
We recommend this Humus for Evergreens, Rhododendrons and Blueberries, or any 
shrub or ornamental that requires an acid soil.

Gentlemen; Kent, Ohio. 
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 satis¬ 
factory 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.

Gentlemen: After using your material at four of 
our stations, where we usually have difficulty in 
securing a good lawn, we take pleasure in recom¬ 
mending Soilmaster for either sandy or clay soil. 
It not only holds the moisture but feeds the lawn 
throughout the season. Sincerely yours, 
F. F. FOWLER, Agent, Benton Harbor.
