ganic matter. No filler has been added. Contains nigrogen, phos- 
phorus and potash, with trace elements of 20 minerals that promote

an excellent mulch for roses, African violets, in fact, for any plant— 
flower, vegetable, shrub or lawn. Especially good for potting or re- 
potting house or outdoor plants. In fact, this is just what flower
