Ammonium Sulphate is a valuable ferti- 
lizer for all plants in which a large leaf 
development or rapid growth is desired. 
It will stimulate growth almost immedi- 
ately. It is also used for top-dressing 
lawns, producing a thick velvet growth 
and discouraging the weeds. It is a highly 
concentrated nitrogenous product, con- 
taining 251%, per cent ammonia, 20% per 
cent nitrogen. One pound to 200 square 
feet is sufficient application for lawns. 
Bone Meal. Extra fine; is a fertilizer 
recommended for lawns, rose bushes, 
grape vines, especially where a moder- 
ately slow fertilizer is needed for the 
deep-rooted shrubbery and where a per- 
fectly safe fertilizer is required. It con- 
tains phosphoric acid and some nitrogen. 
Granulated Peat Moss. For greenhouse, 
garden and home, Our peat moss is of 
the finest quality you can buy anywhere 
at any price. Its use contributes to the 
humus content of the soil, .lightening 
heavy clay and binding sandy soils. It 
insulates soil against freezing and thaw- 
ing in winter and conserves moisture in 
summer. Clean, odorless and economical 
to use.. 
Sheep Guano. An efficient fertilizer to 
use on lawns, in the garden, the peren- 
nial border, shrubbery beds, small fruit 
garden, flower beds, etc. It is safe and 
dependable. A natural plant food and not 
a chemical stimulant. 
‘Nitrate of Soda. A fertilizer for all crops; 
quick in action and hastens the maturi- 
ty of crops fully two weeks. It should 
not be applied until the plants are above 
the ground. Do not allow solution to 
touch foliage. Dissolve 1 oz. to 2 gals. or 
1 lb. to 50 gallons. 
Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phos- 
phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phosphoric acid and lime which is formed 
by the action of sulphuric acid on raw 
phosphate rock. It aids in plant nutri- 
tion and assists the plant to assimilate 
other ingredients. Superphosphate is an 
efficient fertilizer element for lettuce, 
truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering 
of lawns tends to sour the soil and 
eventually the lawn becomes foul with 
sorrell, Creeping Charlie, and other 
weeds which thrive in an acid soil. This 
condition may be improved by applying 
hydrated lime. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is 
especially valuable for fruit trees and 
berries.

Dou't forget the 
Compost Pile 

You have a rich source of in- 
dispensable humus right in your 
own garden. How to make ‘use 
of it? The compost pile is the an- 
Swer. 
*All of your lawn clippings, 
“weeds, vegetable tops, potato peel- 
ings and any other vegetable mat- 
ter can be thrown into a pit or 
bin. When a layer a foot or so 
thick has accumulated sprinkle a 
compost maker over the top and 
cover the whole with about 2 
or 3 inches of soil. Repeat the 
whole process until your compost 
pile is three or four feet deep. 
Keep the pile moist to hasten the 
rotting. 
In about 6 months the compost 
‘pile will be ready to use. Spread 
. it on the garden as you would 
_- barnyard manure. Used with peat 
moss and commercial fertilizers 
compost is a really important aid 
to good gardening.
