WOOD ASHES. 



This IS practically the only American 

 source of potash tnat is abundant enough 

 to be of any commercial importance as 

 a fertilizer, and this supply is now so 

 limited as to restrict their use. Potash 

 in wood ashes is in the most valuable 

 form of the carbonate. Wood ashes, be- 

 sides furnishing about five per cent pot- 

 ash, also contain one to two per cent 

 of phosphoric acid and thirty to thirty- 

 five per cent of lime, which are also 

 valuable as fertilizers. The quality of 

 ashes varies considerably with the kind 

 of wood used to produce them and the 

 care with which they are preserved. The 

 difference in quality is so great without 

 any change in appearance that the only 

 safe way to purchase is upon guaranteed 

 analysis. 



Good wood ashes which have not been 

 exposed to the weather or otherwise wet, 

 such as may be described as house ashes, 

 weigh about forty-eight pounds to the 

 bushel and carry about eight per cent 

 potash and two per cent phosphoric acid. 

 Canada unleached wood ashes as sold by 

 the carload are rated at forty-five pounds 

 to the bushel and run from four to six 

 per cent of potash and about one per cent 

 phosphoric acid. Leached or weathered 

 ashes are much less valuable, as they con- 

 tain only one or two per cent potash.

SPARTANBURG, S. C 



Chas. A. Moss, the only florist in this 

 city, had a large wedding decoration on 

 October 20, using 1,500 chrysanthemums, 

 700 carnations, 300 tea roses, fifty Beau- 

 ties, 600 valley, fifty cattleyas, fifty 

 strings of smilax and ten cases of south- 

 ern wild smilax. It was the finest job 

 ever seen in this section of the country. 

 He had the church and house. Mr. Moss 

 has about 7,000 feet of glass and grows 

 quite a good deal of outdoor stuff. Mrs. 

 Moss is his assistant and a good one. 

 O. A. C. Oehmler, from "Washington, was 

 down to assist on the wedding job and 

 took a stroll through the cotton fields. 

 He predicts a great future for Mr. Moss. 

 There has been no rain in this section 

 for nine weeks. 



I WOULD say that many of the ar- 

 ticles in the Review are of great value 

 to me and I would not feel that I 

 could do without it were the subscrip- 

 tion price thrice what it is. — A. E.
