Hormone -T reated Lawn Grass Seed 
Produces a More Beautiful Lawn 
Germinates Quicker—Withstands Drought 
Treated plant has close to three times the 
root strength of untreated one. 
Science has proven that Hormone-treated Grass 
Seed germinates quicker and produces a soft, lux¬ 
uriant turf that is deeper rooted and better able to 
withstand drought. It is the modern, scientific way 
of securing a finer, more velvety, better colored, 
stronger growing, thicker turf, and a deeper root 
system which taps lower ground levels and brings 
more food and moisture to the plants. 
Those who want the finest lawn must sow the 
finest seed. Those who sow Burgess’ Lawn Grass, 
sow the best obtainable, and when such high quality 
seed is Hormone-treated, the results are simply 
amazing. 
We use no timothy or clover in our mixtures. 
Avoid lawn mixtures which contain timothy. Tim¬ 
othy is a hay seed and produces coarse stems which 
ruin the lawn. It is used in cheap mixtures on ac¬ 
count of its low price. We supply Hormone-treated 
White Clover seed at the below quoted prices to 
those who want to sow it either separately or with 
grass seed.

ADCO 
ARTIFICIAL 
MANURE 
Turn your lawn cuttings and garden rubbish into manure with 
Adco. Adco is a powder which, when mixed with vegetable waste 
and kept moist, converts the whole mass into a clean, odorless ma- 
nure in 3 or 4 months. Equal to the barnyard product as a ter- 
tilizer and free from foul odor, flies, weed seeds, etc. j oil can 
easily convert your straw, corn stalks, weeds, leaves, lawn cuttings, 
3 tc., into manure at very little expense. _ 
It has long been a mystery why the artificial manure made with 
Adco gives such superior, long-lasting fertility to the soil. At last 
the mystery has been solved. Scientific research has demonstrated 
that Adco manure supplies not only the ordinary plant foods, plus 
available humus, but is a source of those strange bodies, the vita¬ 
mins, without which neither plants nor animals can thrive. Adco 
manure contains not only the now-famous Vitamin Bi, but other 
vitamins scarcely less essential to plant health. , 
One pound of Adco is enough for four cubic feet of refuse and 
makes 40 lbs. of organic plant food; 50 lbs. make a ton. 
By express, not prepaid, 25 lb. sack, $2.00; 7 / 2 lb. size $1.00. 
ry 2 lb. size, by parcel post, postpaid, for $1.60. By freight, not 
prepaid, 100 lbs., $7.50; 150 lbs., $10.50. 
SOILMASTER 
Soilmaster 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 filler 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 tildes 
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. Soilmaster 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 Soilmaster. 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 Soilmaster, the only difference between the two is that Sodus 
Acid Humus is sour and Soilmaster sweet. We recommend Sodus Acid Humus for Ever- 
, greens. 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 hags, 90c per bag.
