226 MANURES FOR OTHER TREES 



Virginian Creepers are benefited by being 

 watered with a liquid manure containing ^ oz. 

 each of kainit, lime superphosphate, and nitrate 

 of soda, and ■§• oz. of iron sulphate to 2 gallons of 

 water. 



Wistarias are benefited by using a manure 

 containing kainit, bone meal, and iron sulphate. 



Yuccas are excellent plants, giving a tropical 

 appearance to the garden landscape. They should 

 be treated with a special manure containing 1 

 part each of sulphate of ammonia, iron sulphate 

 and kainit, and 2 parts of lime superphosphate. 

 " To use this manure excavations should be made 

 extending about a yard-and-a-half around the 

 trunk of each tree, and the manure should then 

 be strewn in the excavations. Small yuccas 

 require from 4 to 6 ozs. each, whilst larger ones 

 require from 8 to 10 ozs. each of the manure." 

 The manure is best applied in the spring.

To conclude in the words of Mrs. Hemans : 



"Trees, gracious trees ! — how rich a gift ye are."
