USE ON YOUR LAWNS
SturteYant'S Granulated
Tobacco and Sulphur
For = Fertilizing and
Other Purposes

Being oderless and clean and without
foseign seeds, it has no equal as lawn
dressing. It Is convenient IN form, easy
of application, and will not burn or injure
the lawn. For all garden or field pur-
poses it stands at the head of all fertilizers
in the market. It is less in cost, is double
in bulk, and will do all work better
There is 10 vegetable which cannot be sue
cesstully grown by this product. For
towering plants of all descriptions there is
nothing in the world that will produce
such fine growth and luxuriant flower.
In flower beds or in potting plants the
granulated tobacco stems mixed with the
soil, in proportion of about one part to
five of soil, will produce lasting effects for
the entire season.
