CONT'D “HARD TO GET NEEDED RAWS" 
SULPHATE 
OF 
AMMONIA 
Another nitrogenous product containing 20% 
or 20 lbs. of actual Nitrogen to 100 lbs. of the 
material. A little slower acting than Nitrate 
of Soda and also lasts a little longer. Both 
Nitrate of Soda and Sulphate of Ammonia can 
be dissolved in water for the purpose of mak- 
ing liquid applications. 
Its continued use on the same soil creates 
acidity which is desirable for Bent Grasses but 
not Blue Grass or Fescue lawns. Also does a 
good job in controlling lawn weeds at rate of 
5 lbs. to 1000 sq. ft. and watered in.

MURIATE 
OF 
POTASH 
is a Potash salt containing 60% actual and 
soluble Potash and we all know that Potash 
in available form is the thing that prevents 
disease and builds a sturdy root system and 
plant. Wherever Potash is omitted in a fer- 
tilizer formula or none is available in the 
ground, you can certainly expect to find poor 
growing results. “You gotta have Potash.”

NITRATE 
OF 
SODA 
_ This material supplies over 15% of Nitrogen 
and starts to work in the ground in about 10 
days. Supplies the needed Nitrogen to give 
growth and also color but it doesn’t last long 
enough. Nice to have a little around for 
boosting leafy vegetables like spinach, cab- 
bage, rhubarb, asparagus, etc.

SCRAP that we have decided to make it avail- 
able. A small handful to a hill of corn and

ALUMINUM 
SULPHATE 
for ACID SOILS 
ALUMINUM SULPHATE may be used to 
make alkaline and neutral soils ACID, thus 
favoring the development of satisfactory soil 
for blueberries, cranber- 
ries, azaleas, camellias, and 
a lot of specialty plants 
that thrive on “bog” or 
acid type of soil. A pound 
of ALUMINUM SUL- 
PHATE applied to a 
square yard of neutral or 
alkaline soil and washed 
into the ground is a fair 
dosage although we even 
recommend more. A good 
dose is 5 Ibs. per 100 square feet. On an 
average medium light silt loam, it takes about 
5 lbs. to 100 square feet to bring the reaction 
down from pH 8 to pH 7 and it takes about 
two weeks for this reaction. Nine lbs. would 
be needed to bring it down to pH 6 and about 
14 Ibs. down to less than 5.5. 
As a Japanese Beetle repellent spray, take 
about 1 oz. of ALUMINUM SULPHATE and 
8 oz. of regular Hydrated Lime and mix the 
two in a gallon of water. If you would rather 
use this as dust, then just mix the first two 
together and in the morning when the dew is 
on the plants, make the dusting. The Beetles 
do not like the white coated foliage or the 
taste of the ALUMINUM SULPHATE, which 
technically is alum.

GYPSUM 
For Improving Soil Con- 
ditions at Sane Expense 
and the Best of Results 
For the last 4 years we have been “Fed up” 
with propaganda on fancy named SOIL CON- 
DITIONERS so costly for any kind of one or 
two year application that even a very wealthy 
gardener could hardly afford them. 
All gardeners know what Gypsum or Land 
Plaster is and how it has been improving and 
conditioning American soil for nearly 200 years. 
(1) It clears up water puddle -spots in most 
cases by opening hard crusted surface 
drainage to a depth up to 10”. We all 
have a condition in our gardens and lawn 
at some time akin to this. 
(2) It works better when spaded or spiked 
into soil. 
(3) Can be applied by hand or any kind of 
garden spreader. 
(4) It stimulates microbial decomposition in 
soil which increases formation of organics. 
(5) A good standard broadcast application is 
at rate of 2 tons per acre or say one 
pound to 10 sq. ft. or 100 Ibs. to 1,000 
sq. ft. or a garden of 25’ x 40’. Apply in 
early spring and also in late summer 
when soil is dried out. 
(6) Apply Gypsum continuously for 3 years 
and see real soil improvement. 
For the benefit of those who cannot get 
smaller sized packages of Gypsum locally to 
treat only 250-500 sq. ft. of hard crusted and 
poor soil, we have undertaken the packaging 
of 2 popular sizes and mse as an accommo- 
dation to meet your demand for what we think 
is THE REAL AND NATURE’S OWN SOIL 
CONDITIONER and at maybe 1/20th to 
1/50th of the cost.

NOTE — IMPORTANT: 
Since present Parcel Post rates are so out- 
rageously high (example—$5.03 on only 52 lbs. 
to the 5th Zone) and considering the value of 
the Gypsum itself is much less than 1/3 of 
such charges OUR PRICES ARE PREPAID 
TO THE 2nd Zone limit of 250 miles from 
N.Y.C. or PHILA. (as far as Pittsburgh, 
Washington, D. C., Buffalo and Boston—a big 
coverage indeed for any such low priced item).
