Metliod of applying our Grape 

 Fertilizer. 



The Grape Fertilizer wliich we present to the public 

 should be applied to vines frequently, at various seasons 

 of the year, in small quantities, as parts of it are volatile 

 and might be lost before being taken up by the roots, if 

 the whole quantity intended for one season were applied 

 all at once. 



As soon as the foliage falls off in autumn, the vines 

 should receive a dressing of fertilizing agents, in order 

 that these substances may pass into the soil and enter 

 into chemical combination with its particles during the 

 winter, and promote new chemical conditions in the soil 

 itself. When the vines start in the spring, a fresh 

 dressing should be given, and during the spring, while 

 the rain is falling freely, slight sprinklings of Fertilizer 

 should be frequently thrown around the roots, to be 

 dissolved and carried into the soil at once by the water. 

 And again, in summer, when the fruit is stoning, and 

 the vines seem to be in a partial state of rest, a free 

 dose of Fertilizer should be given during rainy weather, 

 to assist in perfecting the grapes.
