FERTILIZERS 
COMPLETE GARDEN FERTILIZER 5-8-7 This is a 
complete fertilizer for general vegetable garden use. An 
application of 4 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft., well raked in, is gen- 
erally sufficient, although leafy crops will benefit by an 
additional application later in the season. When used in 
hills or drills the fertilizer should be well mixed with the 
soil so that seed does not come into direct contact with 
the fertilizer.

spring is effective on most lawns. If an extra feeding is

Used as a top-dressing for lawns, the feeding rootlets

period, keeping the lawn in good condition all through 
the season. Because of its long-lasting qualities, bone 
meal is very desirable for fertilizing all hard wooded 
plants, including roses, flowering shrubs, fruit bushes, 
and trees. A liberal application mixed into the soi! when 
planting bulbs or perennial plants will result in remark- 
able size and brilliancy of flowers. Use 25 to 50 Ibs. per

GRANULATED PEAT 
MOSS 
The increasing use of Peat Moss for gardens shows a 
better understanding of its value. It is a vegetable prod- 
uct which remains in the soil for many years contributing 
to the formation of humus, making the soil more porous, 
and improving its general texture and condition. It con- 
tributes effective drainage and is a reservoir for storing 
moisture and air, thereby favoring plant growth. Also 
used for mulching perennial and rose beds, as well as 
around evergreens, retaining the moisture so necessary 
to their growth.
