SOIL CONDITIONERS 
All too frequently the greatest difficulty in making a good lawn or garden 
lies more in the condition of the soil than its fertility. To correct excessive 
density, baking, lack of organic matter, and extremes of acidity or alka- 
linity there are a number of effective agents. We have listed peat moss, 
leaf mold and combinations of these on page 30. Terra-Lite is described 
on page 33, Other aids include: 
Hydrated Lime 
Aluminum Sulphate 
Irontone and Sulfaton 
Gypsum 
Soil Sulphur

A valuable preparation of hor- 
mones which is used as a powder. 
It is remarkably effective in stim- 
ulating root growth on cuttings, 
greatly reducing the time neces- 
sary to reach transplanting stage, 
and at the same time reducing 
the losses commonly experienced. 
This same powder dusted on veg- 
etable, grass, or flower seeds, or 
on bulbs, helps them make the 
quick get-away so essential to 
satisfactory crops. % oz. pkt. 25c
