MILORGANITE 
The ideal turf fertilizer. Milorganite is a 
unique plant food for grass. It is free from 
weed seeds, and more effective than nat- 
ural manures without producing objection- 
able odors and unsightly surfaces. Being 
supplied with all the growth producing 
plant food elements, it differs from ordi- 
nary fertilizers by producing results over 
longer periods. Applied in the spring, 
Milorganite maintains rich velvety grass 
throughout the summer. A second applica- 
tion in early fall is often advisable to pro- 
duce vigorous turf capable of withstanding 
adverse winter weather, and enable the 
grass to start off earlier in the spring. 
You can obtain equally good turf by using 
30 to 40 pounds Milorganite per 1000 square 
feet of area, at each application. In reno- 
vating old lawns where the grass is un- 
usually thin, the use of some grass seed is 
advisable. It should be sowed after apply- 
ing the Milorganite and raked lightly to 
barely cover the seed. 100-lb. bag, $3.25. 
Steamed Bone Meal. One of the most use- 
ful forms from which to furnish both nitro- 
gen and phosphoric acid in slowly avail- 
able forms. 25-lb. bags, $2.00. 
Lime, Hydrated. Used to neutralize the 
soil if sour or acid. On the majority of 
lawns a 100-lb. sack will cover approxi- 
mately 800 square feet. 50-lb. bags, S85c. 
SHEEP MANURE

phoric Acid, 1.50 per cent; Potash, 1.50 per 
cent. This is a splendid, complete fertilizer.

$1.30. 
PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss (Torf Mull). A complete soil 
builder. This will produce as good results 
as the richest manure, without the addition 
of disease and fungus spores which are 
found in all manure. Shipped in heavily 
coimnpressed bales about 21x21x40 inches, 
sufficient to cover 240 square feet one inch 
deep. Bale, $5.00. 
VIGORO 
Commercial plant food supplies the three 
essential plant food elements: Nitrogen, 
phosporus and potassium, generally spoken 
of in fertilizers as nitrogen, phosporic acid 
and potash. 
Nitrogen promotes stem and leaf growth, 
increases the tillering or  stooling of 
grasses and small grains, favors root de- 
velopment, and produces new wood on 
apple, peach and other fruit trees. In gen- 
eral, it gives the foliage the healthful 
green color characteristic of vigorous 
growth. Nitrogen deficiency causes the 
yellowing of foliage and stunted growth. 
An oversupply may cause _ abnormal 
growth, a lack of fruitfulness, and a plant 
subject to disease. 
Phosphoric acid produces vigorous root 
growth—a most important function—and 
also promotes early maturity and ripening 
of the grain. When crops are slow to ma- 
ture and take weeks when they should 
take days, it indicates a most serious lack 
of this all-important plant food. 
Potash favors starch formation and aids 
in making heavy grains. It also stiffens the 
stems of grasses and grains and thus pre- 
vents lodging. Crops which have sufficient 
potash have a greater disease resistance. 
100-I1b. bags, $3.70.
