Fertiluvia Will Make Any Soil Fertile To the poorest clay it will re- store the desirable texture and life- giving qualities which bring forth velvet lawns and bountiful gardens. To light sandy soil it gives the substance and bulk which increases the retention of moisture. No soil can be fertile unless the texture will permit circulation of air and allow absorption and re- tention of moisture. FERTILUVIA combines lasting fertility with unusual conveniencees because it is the highest type of humus obtainable. It has no odor, contains no weed seeds and it cannot "burn" or over stimulate. Licensed under the fertilizer laws of the State of Illinois. Send for Deseriptive Booklet The American Humus Co. Cleveland, Ohio. Chicago Branch 30 N.
