|MILORGANITE | 
MILORGANITE is a scientifically prepar- 
ed NATURAL or ORGANIC plant food and 
not a chemical or synthetic product. 
For this reason, it is long-lasting and 
non-burning. It does not have the 
"shot-in-the-arm" effect with the "let- 
down" that follows. Its organic or 
humus properties tend to build up the 
physical condition of the soil. This 
is opposite with many chemical fertili- 
workable. 
It is valuable as a mulch

zers. MILORGANITE is rich in long-lasting organic nitrogen, the sean! 
most important element needed for healthy plant growth. Besides pleie sexntite the 
phosphorus and potassium, it contains liberal amounts of iron, ge 
magnesium and sulphur. Deficiency of these elements causes Chlo- 
rosis (sickly yellowing of the foliage of many plants including 
grass), a condition common to soils in this particular region. 
For these and many other reasons, we believe MILORGANITE is the 
best fertilizer for lawns, flowers, gardens, trees, and shrubs in 
the great plains region.

We recommend Fall Planting for bluegrass 
lawns for two reasons: in the fall, the blue- 
grass seed can germinate in the cool weather 
and develop without the competition of the 
noxious lawn weeds, as is often the case in

by mixing the seed together at the rate of 
one pound of clover to every five pounds of 
bluegrass.
