Turn your lawn cuttings and garden rubbish into manure with 
Adeco. 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 fer- 
tilizer and free from foul odor, flies, weed seeds, etc. You can 
easily convert your straw, corn stalks, weeds, leaves, lawn cuttings, 
etc., 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 By, but other 
_ Vitamins scarcely less essential to plant health. 
One pound of Adco is enough for four cubic feet of refuse and 
~ _ makes 40 Ibs. of organic plant food; 50 lbs. make a ton.

SOILMASTER coo 
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 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 

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, $1.50; 10 or more bags, $1.35 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 79 
soil. It is also ideal fdr bent-grass lawns where an acid condition is necessary. 2-bushel
