AGRICO — FOR LAWNS, TREES AND 
SHRUBS, 3 lbs. per 100 sq, ft. Agrico is 
a balanced plant food and supplies, in 
proper forms for continuous feeding 
throughout the growing season, all the 
plant food elements required. 
Plant grass seed after thoroughly mixing 
the Agrico with the soil. Use the best seed 
mixture you can get; that is, one adapted 
to your location and soil. Cheap seed mix- 
tures are a common cause of failure. Sow 
4 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. half length- 
wise and half cross-wise. Rake in the seed 
not more than 1/8 to 3/16 inch deep and 
roll lightly. 
USE AGRICO FOR LAWNS, TREES AND 
SHRUBS and realize the satisfaction that 
comes from having a thick velvety lawn— 
the kind that means so much to the beauty 
of any home.

BOVUNG—A rich manure from cows—the 
ideal fertilizer for New Lawns and for re- 
storing the worn-out grass plot to its origi- 
nal vigor. Through a special process practi- 
cally all moisture is removed from Bovung 
soon after it has been taken from the 
barns. Bovung is absolutely free of all 
live weed seeds, it can not bring plant dis- 
eases to your garden, and while a little 
goes far, no harm will occur through fertil- 
izing your lawn or garden freely. Bovung 
broadcasts as readily as grass seed and we 
suggest three applications upon your lawn 
throughout the year, in the early spring, 
again in midsummer, and finally early in 
the autumn. Bovung, too, is an excellent 
fertilizer for the flower and vegetable gar- 
den, being of an organic nature it brings 
to the soil just those materials in which 
the average garden soil is lacking.
