Milorganite 
The ideal fertilizer for lawns, 
gardens, flowers, shrubs and 
trees. Supplies the soil with 
all the elements plants need 
for healthy, continuous 
growth. Milorganite works 
slowly and steadily—over an 
extended period. It promotes 
steady, healthy, uniform 
growth. This is an advantage, 
because too rapid growth re¬ 
sults in a weakened plant 
structure—and the effect of 
the fertilizer is short-lived. 
Milorganite contains no weed 
seeds or harmful bacteria. 
Being organic, Milorganite 
stimulates desirable soil bac¬ 
teria of all kinds, necessary 
for conversion of water- 
insoluble elements into plant 
food. Being granular, Milor¬ 
ganite is dustless and free 
flowing, easy to apply. Does 
not burn the lawn when ap¬ 
plied. Golf courses in the 
United States and Canada use 
more Milorganite than any 
other fertilizer. 5 lbs., 50c; 10 
lbs., 75c.; 25 lbs., $1.20; 50 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $3.00.
