GROUND LIME ROCK 
(Ground to 100 mesh fine). (90% Calcium 
Carbonate). Especially prepared for use on tile 
lawn and garden. Based on chemical analysis, 
it may safely be 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 applica- 
tion 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 caustic and will not destroy 
the humus in the soil. It can be applied to a 
growing crop without any chance of injury.

HYDRATED LIME 
Many prefer Hydrated Lime to Lime Rock, 
claiming that it acts sooner in liberating plant 
food for consumption. Hydrated Lime is 
ground as fine as flour, rendering it available 
as soon as applied. 
Hydrated Lime is especially valuable for 
lawns, as it not only sweetens the soil, unlocks 
valuable plant food, but kills out weeds and 
moss without injuring the grass in the least, 
giving your lawn that rich green color so much 
desired. 
It will give deeper color to roses and other 
flowers and more strength to resist the hot 
rays of the sun. 
Applied to the garden it will increase the 
yield 25% and will improve the quality of the 
vegetables. 
It is also very beneficial to fruit trees, in- 
creasing the growth and improving the quality 
of the fruit. 
Hydrated Lime can be used on the Lawn the 
same as Lime Rock, but must be used with 
more caution on the garden, as too strong an 
application might destroy the humus to some 
extent. 
For lawns, use 100 lbs. to 2,000 sq. ft. 
100 lbs., $1.35. 
BRIEF POINTS ON LIMING. 1. The differ- 
ent 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 le- 
gume crops in the rotation as much as possible. 
3. Lime corrects acidity, but rarely acts as a 
true fertilizer. 
4. Use burnt lime with caution. 
5. Ground limestone and thoroughly air- 
slacked 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 manure or com- 
mercial fertilizers take the place of lime. 
NITROGEN is 
the most im- 
portant and ex- 
? ensive plant 
ood. The air is 
four -fifths ni- 
trogen — the soil 
is full of air — 
but plants can- 
n o t absorb it 
without the aid 
of the nitrogen 
gathering bac- 
teria.

NITRAGTN 
Restores and Maintains Soil Fertility 
There has been do discovery in recent years so valuable to 
agriculture as the discovery of “NITRAGIN.” . 
NITRAGIN is the trade name applied to NITROGEN GATH- 
ERING BACTERIA, and will enable almost any soil to produce 
leguminous crops in abundance. 
It is of two-fold value, as it insures a catch of any legume on 
worn-out or poor soil ; at the same time that legume is a sturdy 
One-Acre Size deep-rooted soil renovator. 
By plowing under the green crop you will add humus and 
fertilizer that makes the land available for other crops.
