The commercial fertilizers must be 

 carefully applied so even distribution 

 and thorough incorporation is secured. 



After the fertilizer is mixed with 

 the soil it should stand a day or two 

 before planting to avoid injury to the 

 roots. Over feeding or careless appli- 

 cation is much more serious than with 

 natural manures and it would not be 

 advisable to experiment on a large 

 scale unless competent and careful 

 growers were in direct supervision. 



Iowa as a state knows very little 

 about commercial fertilizers but may 

 we not learn by observing the experi- 

 ments of others who are compelled to 

 use them, and may we have the good 

 sense to use them before we have lost 

 any considerable profit we might have 

 gained by their use. 



THE GOLDEN GLORY OF OUR 

 FALL FLOWERS. 

 Before the purple asters bring the 

 thoughts of Ralph Waldo Emerson to 

 us, how golden is the glory of our 

 midsummer flora, tansy, goldenrod, 

 jewel weed, tall primroses, butter and 

 eggs, with here and there the fall 

 dandelions brightening up the fields. 

 A symphony in yellow, with just 

 enough of the beautiful crimson Joe- 



Pye weed to add another note. A walk 

 through the fields of New England 

 gathering the flowers would bring us 

 home with yellow blossoms in our 

 hands. Not so in Wales. I remember 

 returning home from a walk there in 

 late July or August with my hands 

 full of purple blooms, harebells, 

 heather and flowers whose names I 

 do not now remember, but their 

 shades were mauves and blues. 

 Heather we grow at Hillcrest, a great 

 glowing patch of it near our blue- 

 berry bed, and as a border to our ave- 

 nue. We wanted something low grow- 

 ing, but a little stiff and formal on the 

 opposite side of the avenue from our 

 row of red cedar trees. We could not 

 plant the cedars there as they would 

 come in front of our espalier and 

 shade too much the fruit trees. We 

 tried the heather and it has been most 

 beautiful, blooming in August before 

 the fall flowers come. We protect it 

 with leaves in winter and have one 

 white bunch blooming among the 

 crimson. 



How beautiful are the wayside flow- 

 ers, the children's flowers, which have 

 been given so directly by God to man.
