LAND PLASTER, OR GYPSUM POTASH 
Land Plaster is not really a fertilizer, as .it 
contains no plant food, but it causes a chemical 
change in the soil, releasing the potash which 
is already there in unavailable form. It is very 
beneficial to clover, alfalfa, peas, beans, and 
other legumes. 100 lbs., $1.25; ton, $16.00. 
GROUND ROCK PHOSPHATE 
Raw phosphate rock finely ground. It is 
slower acting than superphosphate, and is rec- 
ommended by many manufacturers as the most 
economical form of phosphoric acid. 100 lbs., 
$1.25; ton, $20.00. 
On account of the war we are unable to sup- 
ply any potash as the supply all comes from 
Europe, and it is impossible to ship any in at 
this time. 
SUPERPHOSPHATE 
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS: 
Phosphoric Acid 17%, 
This is what is known as Acid Phosphate, be- 
ing phosphate rock treated with acid to make 
the phosphoric acid available. While the phos- 
phoric acid in this is not so valuable as that in 
bone meal, it is more quickly available, and in 
some cases more useful. 
Superphosphate is recommended as a top- 
dressing for grass lands and for grain. It is 
generally used at the rate of 600 to 1000 lbs. 
per acre. Packed in 125 lb. sacks. 100 lbs., 
$1.50; ton, $26.00. 
GROUND LIME ROCK 
90% Calcium Carbonate. 
Ground to 100 Mesh Fine. 
Especially prepared for use on the lawn and garden. Based on chemical analysis, 
it may safely he said that practically all the soil in the Puget Sound district is in need 
of lime. Different sections require different amounts, but from wide experiments it 
has been shown that practically all the land needs at least 2,000 pounds per acre. This 
applies to gardens and farms; for lawns a fair application is 100 pounds to 2,000 
square feet. After wide experiments it has been found that the Lime Rock is much 
superior to other forms of lime, as it is not eaustic and will not destroy the humu$ 
in the soil. It can be applied to a growing crop without any chance of injury. 
BRIEF POINTS ON LIMING. 
1. The different forms of lime contain different amounts of calcium. 
2. To improve a poor, acid soil, plow under manure, apply lime and disc in, and 
grow legume crops in the rotation as much as possible. 1 
3. Lime corrects acidity, but rarely acts as a true fertilizer. 
4. Use burnt lime with caution. 
5. Ground limestone and thoroughly air slaked lime are not injurious to soils 
or crops. 
6. Lime is not a “cure all” for every soil ailment. 
Lime will not take the place of manure or commercial fertilizers, nor will ma- 
nure or commercial fertilizers take the place of lime.
