NEW ORGANIC 
SOIL ACTIVATOR 
ALKEMI, “50 fimes as 
effective as common ferti- 
lizer,” re-builds the soil 
Here is one of the most important messages 
about soil fertility you have read in years! 
It brings you news about a new material 
that makes real ‘‘compost gardening’’ easy 
.- ». an organic soil builder that lets you 
return to the soil the vegetable matter you 
take out of it! 
You've been hearing and reading a good 
deal, lately, about the need for organic 
replenishment of our soils, and the ills 
that come in the train of too much chemical 
feeding. 
Now a great new discovery makes it 
possible for every gardener to re-build his 
soil ‘the all-organic way.” 
Not just a fertilizer 
The name of this great new material is 
ALKEMI Soil Activator. It is the patented 
discovery of one of the world’s foremost 
soil authorities. It is not an ordinary plant 
food, but a soil inoculant and re-builder. 
ALKEMI acts like a “plasma.” It is pure 
organic matter, activated by friendly soil 
bacteria which fix nitrogen in the soil and 
help reduce minerals to soluble plant food. 
Everything your plants need! 
Truly good soil . . . soil that will produce 
richer vegetables, brighter flowers, lawns 
of deeper green . . . must have more help 
than chemical fertilizers alone can give it. 
Good soil must have bacteria, enzymes, 
hormones, minerals more than 20 
different growth-producing factors. 
Manures and composting used to supply 
all these factors, but nowadays most gar- 
den soils are depleted—no matter how 
much chemical feeding they‘ve had. 
That’s why ALKEMI is such a tremendous 
boon to modern gardeners. It provides all 
the needed growth factors quickly and 
economically. 
50 times as effective! 
ALKEMI gets results in a totally different 
way than common fertilizers. Tests show it 
beats fertilizers 50 to 1, pound for pound. 
So—if you raise vegetables or flowers,
