Fertilization Hints 



Lawns. A complete fertilizing cycle to 

 secure perfect lawns is to apply a complete 

 fertilizer such as 5-10—4 or 4—12-4 in early- 

 spring at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 square 

 feet and follow this four weeks later with one- 

 half the same quantity. In early fall, apply 

 Sheep Manure and follow this in late fall with 

 Bonemeal at the rate of 5 pounds per 100 

 square feet. 



Roses. To grow really fine Roses, apply 

 Superphosphate in the spring at the rate of 

 5 pounds per 100 square feet of bed. Follow 

 this monthly with a dressing of complete 

 fertilizer such as 5-10-4 and in the fall use 

 5 pounds of Bonemeal per 100 square feet. 



Azaleas and Rhododendrons. When 

 planting, make a mixture of one bushel peat 

 moss to every two bushels of soil. For Broad- 

 leaved Evergreens, an ideal fertilizing me- 

 dium is obtained by mixing 12 pounds of 

 Cotton Seed Meal, 5 pounds of Superphos- 

 phate, and 2 pounds of Aluminum Sulphate 

 and apply the mixture at the rate of one-half 

 pound per square yard. 



Peonies. Use Superphosphate in early 

 spring and Bonemeal in the fall. To increase 

 the size of the flowers, use weekly when the 

 buds are forming Ammonia Sulphate in liquid 

 form at the rate of 1 ounce to 2 gallons of 

 water, or Dried Blood at the rate of 1 to 2 

 ounces per plant. 



Deciduous Plants and Trees. These 

 being long-lived, they require systematic 

 feeding in order to keep their beauty of form 

 and of flowers. Use a complete fertilizer like 

 5-10-4 or 4-12-4. 



Water-Lilies. When lifting the tubs in 

 early spring, apply a mixture of one part of 

 Dried Blood to one part of Raw Bonemeal.
