ABEL'S FERTILIZERS — SOIL CONDITIONERS 
AND PLANT FOODS 
BOVUNG—A rich manure from cows—the 
ideal fertilizer for New Lawns and for re- 
storing the worn-out grass plot to its origi- 
nal vigor. Through a special process practi- 
cally all moisture is removed from Bovung 
soon after it has been taken from the 
barns. Bovung is absolutely free of all 
live weed seeds, it can not bring plant dis- 
eases to your garden, and while a little 
goes far, no harm will occur through fertil- 
izing your lawn or garden freely. Bovung 
broadcasts as readily as grass seed and we 
suggest three applications upon your lawn 
throughout the year, in the early spring, 
again in midsummer, and finally early in 
the autumn. Bovung, too, is an excellent 
fertilizer for the flower and vegetable gar- 
den, being of an organic nature it brings 
to the soil just those materials in which 
the average garden soil is lacking.
