SPECIAL MANURES 225 



Stephanotis ^ is treated witli a liquid manure 

 containing ^ oz. each of potassium nitrate and 

 lime superphospliate to 2 gallons of water. 



Symphoricarpus is benefited by applying 

 guano, kainit, and iron sulphate. 



Syringas are improved by using bones (half- 

 inch), kainit, and iron sulphate. 



Tamarix is improved by using a special manure 

 containing 3 parts of guano, 2 parts of sUver sand, 

 ^ part of kainit, and ^th part of iron sulphate. One 

 pound of the mixture should be applied to each 

 tree. 



The cultivator frequently makes a great mistake 

 by applying an excess of manures, and thereby 

 condemning the manures if any damage is done. 

 Over-manuring and under-manuring are detrimental 

 to a proper growth of trees and shrubs — excess 

 and deficiencies are alike injurious. 



Taxus is benefited by a special manure con- 

 taining guano, silver sand, magnesium sulphate, 

 and iron sulphate. 



Thujas are benefited by a similar manure to 

 yews (Taxus). 



Variegated Laurels are benefited by using a 

 special manure containing bone meal, kainit, silver 

 sand, and iron sulphate. See also p. 204 (aucubas).
