phorus and potash, with trace elements of 20 minerals that promote 
luxuriant plant growth. Since no chemicals have been added, no

and mellows or loosens the soil, preventing it from hardening. Makes 
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
