PEP UP 
YOUR SOIL! 
All soils need fertilizers at one time or another because 
repeated plantings can eat them poor of all nutrient mate- 
rials. In addition to this soil must be conditioned to prop- 
erly promote the normal growth of most plant life. Hard, 
sticky soil which packs down into root-choking tightness 
will not make good stands. Old manures, such as sheep or 
barnyard, can be used as general fertilizer for the flower 
bed, shrubbery row or rose garden. Old rotted manures, 
however, are difficult to obtain. Leaf-mold, nature’s condi- 
tioner and fertilizer, is also hard-to-get for the average per- 
son and the cost of hauling it into your garden by com- 
mercial carriers is prohibitive. There are a number of com- 
mercial fertilizers and condilioners on the market which 
are good and some whose value is questionable. We could 
easily sell any or all of them but we feel that if we sell you 
what years of experience have taught us is the best solu- 
tion to your fertilizer-conditioner needs we can be doing 
you a real service. So... we unconditionally recommend:
