SOILMASTER 
Soilraaster is a decomposed, concentrated leaf-mold and decayed vegetation 
properly mixed with marl and scientifically blended to give the best results. 
It should not be confused .with plain peat-moss or muck. No filter is used 
in its composition. By adding water it gradually breaks down so the 
plant receives food throughout the growing season. 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, odor¬ 
less and does not burn ; and can be applied any time and anywhere. Is 
ideal for potted plants, bulbs and flower gardens. Requires less water 
after application than other fertilizer as it holds moisture for an indefinite 
period. Makes the soil mellow and prevents baking. Soilniaster goes 
farther, lasts longer and is more economical: two bushel bag, which is 
approximately 100 lbs. is enough for 100 .sq. ft. of lawn surface or 8 good 
sized shrubs or ornamentals. You are assured of a three years’ growth 
in two years’ time by using Soilniaster. 2-bushel bag, by freight, not 
prepaid, $1.00; 10 or more bags, 90c per bag. 
Sodus Acid Humus 
Sodus Acid Humus will hold moisture and has the same fertilizing 
value as Soilniaster, the only difference between the two is that Sodus 
Acid Humus is sour and Soilniaster sweet. We recommend Sodus Acid 
Humus for Evergreens, Rhododendrons and Blueberries, or any shrub or 
ornamental that requires an acid .soil. It is also ideal for bent grass lawns where 
an acid condition is necessary. 2-bushel bag, by freight, not prepaid, $1.00; 10 or 
more bags, 90c per bag.
