MALONEY TREES 
Vines, Berries, Shrubs and Ornamentals 
grown under ideal climatic conditions by the largest Nursey in New 
York State, employing the newest and most scientific methods of culture,

our Nurseries are under State inspection as well as under the constant 
personal supervision of one of the firm, 
We Can Guarantee You Sturdy, Absolutely Healthy Upland Grown Stock 
Wo know that the future profits of the men who buy our stock depend absolutely on 
our ability to furnish stock that will boar true to name—so Mr. A. E. Maloney selects all 
scions for budding from trees which are bearing the choicest fruit—that’s why we can 
positively guarantee that our 
Trees Will Bear True to Name 
In the same way every single step from the importation of 1 the seedling until the tree is 
shipped is under the personal supervision of one of the firm. We know we are sending 
you the tree you order. , . , .. , 
Since there was a small planting of fruit tree 
seedlings during the war there is now an alarm¬ 
ing tree shortage throughout the United States— 
only half enough to go around. If you don’t 
want to be disappointed this Spring—ORDER 
EARLY.

Lime and Chemicals on Soil 
Will a treatment of lime and acid phos¬ 
phate pay on a natural bottom meadow 
which is flat and low, but does not over¬ 
flow from the river? This meadow has 
been cropped for 75 or 100 years. IIow 
much, per acre, and should it be put on 
in early or late Spring? c. A. 
New Jersey. 
We do not understand from your ques¬ 
tion whether you intend to plow this 
meadow and plant, crops, or whether you 
intend merely to top-dress with lime and 
phosphate so as to increase the grass crop. 
If you plow the sod the lime and phos¬ 
phate will help. All sod ground, particu¬ 
larly when it has not been plowed for 
years, is quite rich in nitrogen, but in an 
organic form that is not available until 
the sod is well decayed. The lime has¬ 
tens this decay, and thus makes the nitro¬ 
gen useful. Thus, if you plow the sod. 
use lime freely and work it into the soil 
and then use acid phosphate as a fertil¬ 
izer, you would have a fair chance to pro¬ 
duce a good crop of corn. If you put the 
lime on top of the sod and let it remain 
there you will obtain some benefit, chiefly 
by starting a better growth of clover, hut 
you cannot get the best growth in that 
Way. You should use some form of avail¬ 
able nitrogen with the acid phosphate in 
order to start up the grass. A mixture 
of one part nitrate of soda to four parts 
of acid phosphate will pay better than the 
acid phosphate alone when used on the 
sod. We should use about 500 lbs. per 
acre of this mixture and apply for your 
locality early in April. Of course this 
advice to use these expensive chemicals 
applies only to those places where hay 
will bring $25 or more per ton. Tt prob¬ 
ably would not pay on back farms where 
hay must be baled and shipped. In using 
lime on top of the sod be sure to use 
ground limestone and not burned lime.
