as with vegetables. With trees and shrubbery 

 apply the fertilizer where it will reach the feed- 

 ing roots. These roots are not close to the 

 trunk, but out under the ends of the branches. 

 In fertilizing trees and shrubs set in lawns, 

 apply the fertilizer in the shape of a doughnut, 

 out to the edge of the branches and soak it in 

 at once with a hose so it will reach the roots 

 and not cause the grass where it is applied to 

 grow faster than the balance of the lawn. 

 With trees or shrubs in beds, apply the ferti- 

 lizer at the rate of 4 to 5 pounds per 100 square 

 feet and mix it well into the soil. Do not allow 

 it to touch the foliage. Apply it in the spring 

 as soon as the frost is out of the ground and 

 the soil can be worked. 



A Better Fertilizer 



CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN AND GAR- 

 DEN FERTILIZER is superior for home use. 

 It contains sixteen times as much plant food 

 as fresh manure and four times as much as 

 pulverized sheep manure. Figure the relative 

 cost on this basis and you will readily see 

 which is the cheapest per pound of plant food. 

 Fresh manure is offensive to handle and intro- 

 duces weed seeds that ruin the lawn and make 

 more work in the garden. CURRIE'S SPE- 

 CIAL LAWN AND GARDEN FERTILIZER 

 does not have an offensive odor like pulver- 

 ized sheep manure. The different State Chem- 

 ists state that the nitrogen in CURRIE'S 

 SPECIAL LAWN AND GARDEN FERTI- 

 LIZER is of "Good Quality," while pulver- 

 ized sheep manure contains "Inferior Nitro- 

 gen." These manures are markedly deficient in 

 available phosphoric acid, while CURRIE'S 

 SPECIAL LAWN AND GARDEN FERTI- 

 LIZER is rich in this plant food element 

 which favors the growth of white clovers in 

 lawns and produces bumper crops of vege- 

 tables and beautiful fiowers. Potash is the 

 third important element and assists wood
