PEAT MOSS 
Add Humus to Your Lawn and Garden 
Peat Moss has proved itself to be invalu- 
able and is widely used as a humus adding 
material for lawns and gardens. It loosens 
hard soil and makes sandy soil hold moisture 
better. Use with fertilizer in place of stable 
manure. 
It is actually partially decayed moss and 
aquatic plants, is light brown color, entirely 
odorless, clean and easy to handle, and is 
free from weed seeds. 
It has been found by actual test to make better rooted cabbage plants, 
and causes marked increase in growth of young trees and shrubs. 
Peat Moss is especially good when used as a mulch, either to hold 
moisture in the summer or to protect plants from winter injury. As it 
contains no weeds, it makes an unexcelled lawn mulch. Ideal for roses.

and hold the moisture at the roots of the plants. Save time and handling. Simply 
set pot and all in the field; the roots grow thru the pot which slowly breaks down.

Sensational 
Cuar-crO New Fertilizer! 
Charcoal Base—4-16- 4 Formula—20% More Plant Food 
Char-Gro has shown remarkable results where applied to our own 
lawns and gardens and those of our customers, and we believe it is a 
most decided improvement in commercial plant foods. 
The plant food in this fertilizer is impregnated by a special process in 
Wood Charcoal and formed into small, clean, granular pellets, each 
of which is a complete balanced fertilizer, thus assuring even distribu- 
tion of the plant food. Granular fertilizer is recommended by leading 
authorities. ; : 
Char-Gro is odorless and easy to apply. These pellets may be applied either 
by hand or with a spreader on top of the ground or worked in. ¢ 
Char-Gro is economical to use. Use only about 34 as much as ordinary fer- 
tilizers as it contains 20% more units of plant food than most garden fertilizers. The 
charcoal in Char-Gro has high moisture holding properties, releasing the plant food 
slowly as it is needed. There is no waste by leeching. 
Use only 34 lb. to 11% lbs. to 100 square feet. ? 
5 lbs. 55ce; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. 75c; 25 Lbs. $1.25; 
50 Lbs. $2.00; 100 Lbs. $3.50. 
Write for prices on lots of 500 lbs. or more. 
PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE 
Furnishes plant food and supplies humus which keeps the soil from getting 
hard and helps it to hold water. Use about 1 lb. to 10 square feet and mix with the 
soil as much as possible. The manure we offer is pure, being free from straw, dirt, 
weed seed, etc., and is far superior to much of the Pulverized Sheep Manure sold. 
10 lb. bag 60c; 50 Ib. bag $1.75; 100 lbs. $2.75; 14 ton (10 bags) $18.00; 1 ton

Mahes Good Seed Grow Better 
We have been using and recommending Semesan for over 
15 years and we are convinced by our long experience on our 
own farm and greenhouses that it pays to use Semesan. In 
our greenhouses, Semesan has proved very reliable in pre- 
venting “damping off” of seedlings. Watering the flats with the 
normal Semesan solution gives good results. 
Treatment with the various Semesan products listed below 
effectively cleanses most vegetable, flower and field seed of 
seed borne organism and diseases, in most cases increasing the 
stand and consequently the crop. Semesan is easy to use with 
full directions on each package. 
Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy crop insurance!

You can Buy Semesan in Following Forms: 
SEMESAN can be applied in either the liquid or convenient dust form, to

seed pieces, plants, grafts and soils. It is harmless to seed and plant life but ex- 
tremely poisonous to disease and fungous organisms. Directions on each package.

SEMESAN Jr. New Improved. Now cheaper than ever! A new less 
expensive form for the dry dust disinfection of both field and sweet corn seeds. 
Its use protects the seed from rotting in the ground and makes possible earlier 
planting which generally results in higher prices and increased yields. We use 
it on all our planting of corn and beans. On one planting alone of sweet corn it 
nearly doubled the yield of corn for us. The cost is so little that growers 
cannot afford to plant corn that has not been treated. 2 oz. treats 1 bu. seed. 
2 Oz. 15¢; or 2 for 25c; 1 Lb. 75; 5 Lbs. $3.00. Purchaser pays transportation.

loose smut of barley and oats. It will not harm the seed or grain drill. Only 1% oz. 
required to effectively treat a bushel of wheat, oats or barley. ¢ ;
