LAWN AND GARDEN FERTILIZERS 
Steckler’s Fertilizers 
We do not give description as everyone knows them. 
PLANT FOODS 
Plants require light, heat, air, water, fertile soil and 
cultivation. Plant food is composed of decayed vege- 
table matter and various natural salts and minerals 
found in the ground. Practically all soils contain 
limited amounts of potash, phosphoric acid and nitro- 
gen in available form. Each crop as it grows takes 
more or less of the available plant food from the soil 
and continuous planting impoverishes all soils, there 
fore it is necessary to add fertilizer in some form to 
replenish the soil. 
HUMUS is organic matter composed of leaves, plants, 
and decayed vegetation. Peet and leaf mould are ex- 
amples. Humus is not essential to plant life as 
plants do not feed upon it, but after it breaks down 
into 1tS component parts, potash, phosphoric acid 
and nitrogen are released. 
LIME is not a fertilizer but helps to improve heavy 
soils, to break down organic matter and correct the 
acidity of sour soils. 
POTASH is necessary for developing the fruit or flower 
bud. It also helps to fill out the fieshy portions of 
fruits and is necessary for the formation of sugar 
and starch. It enriches the flavors of fruits and 
brings out the color of flowers. 
PHOSPHORIC ACID helps the plant to assimilate and 
to use the other necessary ingredients in the soil. 
It hastens maturity and is very essential to seed 
formation and fertility. 
NITROGEN promotes the growth of leaf and stalk and 
produces color. Soils having excessive nitrogen re- 
quire the addition of potash and phosphoric acid.
