Caulifloiver. — Fertilizers same as for broccoli. 



CELERY. 



Relative proportions available plant- Pounds material for one acre, 



food. Pounds per acre, f 360 to 720 nitrate of soda ; or 



) 300 to 600 sulphate of ammonia ; or 



Nitrogen 60 to 120 l 12,000 to 24,000 stable manure. 



I 900 to 1,800 flsh guano ; or 



( 960 to 1,920 acid phosphate; or 



Phosphoric acid 120 to 240^ 300 to 600 double superphosphate ; or 



I 1,200 to 2,400 ground bone. 



I 300 to 600 muriate of potash ; or 

 Potash 150 to 300 J 300 to 600 sulphate of potash ; or 



I 1,200 to 2.400 kainite : or 



L 3,000 to 6,000 wood ashes. 



Celery thrives best in soil rich in decaying organic matter such as muck 

 or beaver-dam. Many of the Oregon beaver-dam and swamp soils are exce^d- 

 ingly rich in nitrogen ; therefore when celery is grown upon such soils the 

 amount of nitrogen to be applied may be greatly reduced. 



Cherries. — Fertilizers same as for apricots, except that the addition of a few 

 hundred pounds of lime either in the form of air-slacked lime or wood ashes 

 is very beneficial. 



CHICORY. 



Relative proportions available plant- 

 food. Pounds per acre, f 



Nitrogen 30 to 60 ■! 



Phosphoric acid 60 to 120 



Potash 50 to 100 . 



Pounds material for one acre. 



1 80 to 360 nitrate of soda ; or 



150 to 300 sulphate of ammonia ; or 



450 to 900 fish guano ; or 



6,000 to 12,000 stable manure. 

 480 to 960 acid phosphate ; or 

 150 to 300 double superphosphate ; or 



600 to 1,200 ground bone. 

 100 to 200 muriate of potash ; or 

 100 to 200 sulphate of potash ; or 

 400 to 800 kainite; or 



1,000 to 2,000 wood ashes. 



Clover. — Fertilizers same as for alfalfa. 



CORN. 



Relative proportions available plant- 

 food. Pounds per acre. 



Nitrogen 15 to 30 ' 



Phosphoric acid 30 to 60- 



Potash 40 to 80 . 



Pounds material for one acre. 

 90 to 100 nitrate of soda ; or 

 75 to 150 sulphate of ammonia ; or 



225 to 450 fish guano ; or 

 3,000 to 6,000 stable manure. 



240 to 480 acid phosphate ; or 

 75 to 150 double superphosphate ; or 



300 to 600 ground bone. 

 80 to 160 muriate of potash ; or 

 80 to 160 sulphate of potash : or 



320 to 640 kainite; or 



800 to 1,600 wood ashes. 



Nitrogen applied in the form of stable manure is especially beneficial as a 

 dressing for corn ground. If corn is grown for fodder or for eating and canning 

 Iiurposes, the amount of stable manure, or nitrogenous fertilizer applied may 

 be increased.
