Milorganite is a scientifically prepared nat- 
ural and organic plant food and not a chemi- 
cal or synthetic product. For this reason, it 
is long-lasting and non-burning. It does not 
have the “shot-in-the-arm” effect with the let- 
down that follows. Its organic or humus properties tend to 
build up the physical condition of the soil. This is opposite 
with many chemical fertilizers. Milorganite is rich in long- 
lasting nitrogen, the most important element needed for healthy 
plant growth. Besides phosphorus and potassium, it contains 
liberal amounts of iron, magnesium and sulphur. Deficiency of 
these elements cause chlorosis (sickly yellowing of the foliage 
of many plants including grass), a condition common to soils in 
this particular region. For this and many other reasons, we 
believe Milorganite is the best fertilizer for lawns, flowers, 
gardens, trees and shrubs in the Great Plains Region. Prices 
are not prepaid.

SOIL CONDITIONER 
Special MERLOAM*“Formulation 
Properly applied 
soils,’ such as hard clay, Krilium 
Soil Conditioner will change the 
mechanical structure of the soil from a hard-packed mass to 
a loose, crumbly consistency. Since the soil is loose and crum- 
bly, it readily absorbs and retains moisture, gives firmer sup- 
port to the plant body and admits air, giving the roots a 
chance to breathe. Fertilizer or plant nutrients already in the 
soil, or added to it, are made more readily available to the 
plant. 
Application directions for maximum results vary slightly in 
each case. Generally, though, it is only necessary to spade to 
a depth of 3 to 6 inches, spread Krilium Soil Conditioner, mix 
in and rake smooth.

Peatmoss 
Valuable as a source of soil humus. 
heavy soils more friable and workable. 
light, sandy soils hold moisture. Prevents soil 
from baking and cracking during hot weather. 
Peatmoss will hold approximately 18 times its 
Makes 
Helps 
weight in water. It pays to mix Peatmoss with 
the backfill soil when planting evergreens, 
shrubs, trees, flowers and bulbs. It is almost 
indispensable in preparing soil for potting, porchboxes and 
flats. It is valuable as a mulch on lawns and gardens. In pre- 
paring a seed bed for turf planting, one-half to one inch of 
Horticultural Peatmoss worked into the top three inches of 
soil will give a seed bed which will retain moisture and permit 
vigorous root growth, quick germination of seeds and give you 
a thick, heavy growth of fine grass that will be very resistant 
to burning out during the summer or freezing out during the 
winter.
