PULVERIZED 

Sheep  Manure 

Makes  Plants  Grow  to  Perfection 


You  Can  Make  Your 
Lawn  and  Garden 
Beautiful 

IT  is  an  easy  matter  to  make  all  plants 
grow  to  perfection.  There  is  no  mys- 
tery about  it  — the  important  point 
to  remember  is  that  plants  need  food 
and  a rich  mellow  soil  if  they  are  to 
develop  their  real  beauty. 

No  matter  whether  you  are  growing  a 
lawn,  garden,  house  plants,  vegetables 
or  field  crops,  a fertile  soil  is  essential 
to  success.  Hard,  wornout  soil  means 
starved  plants  and  failure.  So  start  right 
and  give  your  plants  a real  chance  to 
thrive.  Make  your  soil  rich  and  fertile 
with  Wizard  Sheep  Manure. 

Everybody  can  get  results  with  Wiz- 
ard. It  supplies  the  natural  plant  food  and 
humus  that  all  plants  need.  It  puts  new 
life  into  wornout  soils  and  makes  them 
fertile  and  productive.  Read  the  follow- 
ing pages  and  learn  how  to  grow  beau- 
tiful plants  and  big  profitable  crops  with 
Wizard  Sheep  Manure. 


Grows  Big,  Profitable  Crops 


Lawns  and  Gardens 

NOTHING  makes  a home  more  attractive  than  a beau- 
tiful lawn  and  garden.  Your  success  in  making  beau- 
tiful lawns  depends  upon  the  condition  of  your  soil. 
If  the  soil  is  hard  and  dry  the  tiny  grass  seeds  will  not  germi- 
nate. The  tender  roots  cannot  penetrate  nor  find  food  in  worn- 
out  soils.  The  first  and  most  important  step  is  the  preparation 
of  a mellow,  finely  pulverized  seed  bed — one  rich  in  plant  food 
and  humus.  For  this  purpose  Wizard  Sheep  Manure  is  unex- 
celled. It  produces  a thick,  velvety  green  lawn  of  lasting 
beauty.  It  provides  the  soil  with  the  natural  plant  food  that 
feeds  the  millions  of  grass  plants  that  make  a smooth,  thick 
turf.  Start  right  by  using  Wizard  Sheep  Manure  and  your 
success  is  certain. 

Wizard  is  absolutely  weedless,  easily  applied  and  just  what 
nature  needs  to  make  plants  grow. 

In  making  new  lawns,  pulverize  the  surface  soil  well  and 
broadcast  at  the  rate  of  6-10  lbs.  per  100  sq.  ft.,  raking  well 
into  the  surface  soil.  Sow  seed  and  roll. 

For  renovating  old  lawns,  use  6 lbs.  per  100  square  feet 
and  rake  into  the  surface  soil  previous  to  sowing  seed. 


Flower  Gardens — House  Plants 

IN  the  flower  garden  Wizard  stimulates  increased  growth  of 
healthy  green  foliage  and  a wealth  of  vivid  colored 
flowers.  It  puts  new  life  into  shrubbery  and  trees.  House 
plants  and  window  boxes  need  frequent  applications  of  this 
natural  plant  food.  For  garden  planting  mix  one  part  Wizard 
to.  six  parts  soil  before  planting.  Do  not  place  the  pure  ma- 
nure in  direct  contact  with  the  roots — mix  it  well  with  the 
soil.  To  make  liquid  manure  for  house  plants,  mix  one  pound 
of  Sheep  Manure  in  five  gallons  of  water. 


Vegetables  and  Fruit 

FOR  growing  crisp,  tender  vegetables,  Wizard  Sheep 
Manure  is  indispensable.  Its  forcing  action  causes  quick 
growth,  insuring  big  crops  early  in  the  season  when 
prices  are  highest.  Wizard  provides  the  humus  to  loosen  heavy- 
soils  and  improves  drainage  so  that  the  soil  warms  earlier  in 
Spring.  It  builds  up  the  soil  and  makes  possible  the  production 
of  two  or  three  crops  from  the  same  soil  each  year. 

Its  superiority  over  ordinary  manure  is  very  plain  when 
you  realize  that  Wizard  is  weedless  and  that  One  Bag  Equals 
a Whole  Wagon  Load  of  Stable  Manure.  The  amateur  grower 
will  find  it  safe  and  dependable,  a source  of  increased  delight 
in  his  hobby  because  of  the  wonderful  results  it  brings. 

Wizard  is  recommended  by  expert  market  gardeners  for  all 
vegetables,  especially  for  radishes,  lettuce,  onions,  celery,  cab- 
bage, early  potatoes,  etc.  For  growing  luscious  fruits,  berries 
and  melons  it  is  unsurpassed. 

Applications  can  be  made  broadcast  after  plowing  and 
harrowed  into  the  soil  at  the  rate  of  1000  to  1500  lbs.  per  acre. 
If  used  in  the  drill  at  planting  time,  use  700  to  1000  lbs.  per 
acre.  Side  application  later  in  the  season  will  be  found  very 
profitable. 


For  Greenhouses 
and  Hot'Beds 

THE  florist  can  rely  on  Wizard  for 
quick  and  sure  results.  Unexcelled  for 
feeding  carnations,  'mums,  asters, 
roses,  etc.  Absolutely  weedless  and  safe  for 
all  crops  grown  under  glass.  Mix  with  the 
soil  when  beds  are  filled  or  use  as  a dry  or 
liquid  manure  for  feeding  during  the  grow- 
ing season.  Makes  a fine  uniform  seed  bed 
for  hot-beds.'  No  weeds  to  disturb  the  ten- 
der seedlings.  Especially  recommended  for 
tobacco  beds. 


Field  Crops  —Tobacco, 
Alfalfa  and  Clover 

WIZARD  is  practical  and  profitable 
for  general  farm  crops.  It  is  used 
extensively  in  tobacco  growing  and 
is  especially  valuable  in  establishing  a good 
stand  of  clover  and  alfalfa  where  it  is  often 
difficult  to  get  these  crops  started.  Manure 
is  essentially  a soil  conditioner  and  soil 
builder.  The  highly,  concentrated,  easy 
drilling  form  in  which  Wizard  is  prepared 
makes  it  a valuable  crop  insurance.  Try 
Wizard  and  watch  the  results  it  brings.
