Potash for Orchards 



Photo taken in Orchard of J. Elliott Smith 



The fruit growers of the famous Annapolis Valley 

 realize the importance of Potash in producing 

 large yields of excellent quality. 



The system employed by them in maintaining 

 soil fertility is an admirable one and ensures large 

 yields every season, .'\nnual applications of 200 

 to 400 lbs. Muriate of Potash and 400 to 800 lbs. 

 Bone Meal per acre are given and in a few in- 

 stances the applications exceed these quantities. 



The humus ruid nitrogen are obtained by 

 growing and plowing down a crop of Red Clover 

 every year. During the early summer, thorough 

 culti^•ation is given, chiefly with a view to con- 

 serving .soil moisture.
