poultry manure and peat moss—all perfectly blended in the cor- 
rect proportions to assure better growth—better garden results.

ADCO 
By the use of ADCO all the non-woody vegetable refuse, 
such as stalks, cuttings, weeds, withered leaves and flowers, 
potato, bean and pea vines, cabbage leaves and stalks, etc., 
is converted into artificial manure. You not only get rid of 
a lot of useless and unsightly rubbish, but you turn it into 
rich, clean manure. 
The method is very simple. The refuse is arranged in layers, 
sprinkled with ADCO and then saturated with water, according 
to the directions which accompany each bag. Nothing further 
is required beyond keeping the heap moist and perhaps turning 
it-over onee or twice. In from three to six months it becomes 
converted into real manure of excellent quality. 74-lb. pkg, 
$1.00; 25-lb. bag, $2.00; 100-lh. bag, $7.75.
