MILORGANITE 
A natural organic plant food or fertilizer, fine for 
lawns, vegetables, flowers and general use. Scientific 
process of manufacture assures high purity and high 
content of plant food elements. Milorganite has no 
objectionable odor, is free of weed seeds and harm- 
ful bacteria, yet stimulates development of vitally 
needed soil micro-organisms which convert insoluble 
soil nutrients into available and usable compounds. 
It is easy to use because each particle is a distinct 
granule (not a powder) so it does not cling to vegeta- 
tion and eauses no burning. Milorganite is clean, dust- 
less, and free-flowing, hence easy to apply, even on a 
windy day, as it does not blow away during spread- 
ing. Does not eake or harden during storage and does 
not rot the bag. Analysis 6% Nitrogen and 2% Phos- 
phorie Acid.
