- 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 phos- 
phorus and potassium, it contains liberal amounts of iron, mag- 
nesium 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.

SOIL CONDITIONER 
Special MERLOAM* Formulation 
Properly applied to “problem 
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 crumbly, 
it readily absorbs and retains moisture, gives firmer support 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.

Horticultural 
Peatmoss 
Valuable as a source of soil humus. Makes 
heavy soils more friable and workable. Helps 
light, sandy soils hold moisture. Prevents soil from 
baking and cracking during hot weather. Peatmoss 
will hold approximately 18 times its 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 preparing 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 re- 
tain 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.
