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 25144 per cent ammonia, 2034 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 maturity 
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 
nutrition and assists the plant to assimi- 
late other ingredients. Superphosphate 
is an efficient fertilizer element for let- 
tuce, 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 
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.

Deu't Gorget the 
Compost Pite 
TU 

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 
answer. 
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.
