. Uses of Main Plant Foods 
Nitrogen—Promotes leaf and stem growth ; in¬ 
creases proportion stalk to fruit, and hastens bloom¬ 
ing. An excessive amount delays maturity. 
Phosphoric Acid—Stimulates early root formation ; 
gives vigorous start to plants ; increases ratio fruit to 
stalk ; improves quality of fruit and hastens maturity 
of crop. 
Potash—Is important in sugar and starch forma¬ 
tion ; gives stiffness to stalk ; helps plants to resist 
disease, and improves quality of fruit. 
These Two Agents Create 
Acid Soil 
Aluminum Sulphate—-In quick preparation of an 
acid soil for Rhododendrons and other Broad-leaf 
Evergreen Shrubs, the most efficient and readily avail¬ 
able chemical agent is commercial alum or “Alumi¬ 
num Sulphate.” The amount required to overcome the 
existent alkaline or limey soil condition, varies; but 
is roughly % to 1 pound per square yard, scattered 
over the surface. Repeat every six months. If only 
available water for sprinkling is too hard and alka¬ 
line, barrel it and treat with this chemical. Write for 
price. 
Sulphate of Ammonia—A nitrogenous plant stim¬ 
ulant, very quick in action, tending to make soil acid. 
Increases leaf-growth. Much used on lawns, which it 
not only feeds, but weeds are discouraged ; when top¬ 
dressing lawns apply 1 ounce per square yard or 350 
pounds to the acre, but first mix with several times 
its bulk of soil or sand. Between rows of spinach, 
lettuce, cabbage, etc., 3 pounds to 100 running feet 
may be broadcast and hoed in. As a liquid stimulant 
dissolve 1 ounce in a gallon of water and apply to the 
roots of plants. Write for price.
