YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT— 
Lime is not a fertilizer —it is a soil conditioner, and 
should not be applied excepting that the soil is defi¬ 
nitely known by test (Use Soiltex Outfit) to be in 
need of it. Excesses of lime burn out organic matter 
in soil. 
Certain families of plants are poisoned by lime—Androm- 
edas, Azaleas, Embothriums, Kalmias, Leptospermums, 
Pernettyas, Rhododendrons. (Bonemeal is Alkaline). 
Some plants will grow in a strongly alkaline soil—Genista 
hispanica (Spanish Broom), Cotoneaster horizontalis 
(Rock cotoneaster), Forsythia, Buddleia variabilis 
(Butterfly bush), Veronicas, Helianthemums (Sun 
rose), Iris unguicularis. 
There are many plants which respond to moderate applica¬ 
tions of lime. They are: Viburnum (Snowball); Deut- 
zias; Philadelphus (Mock Orange); Syringa (Lilac); 
Ceanothus (Calif. Wild Lilac, excepting C. papillo- 
sus) ; Cotoneasters; Acers (Maples); Berberis (Bar¬ 
berry) ; Iris (all excepting California Natives, Kaemp- 
feri and laevigata) ; Hypericum (Gold Flower) ; Cra¬ 
taegus (Hawthornes) ; Spiraeas (in not too dry 
places) ; Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) ; Japanese Cher¬ 
ries; Delphinium, Campanulas, Michaelmas Daisies; 
Anchusa; Salvias; Herbaceous and tree Peonies; all 
of the Legumes (Sweet Peas, Beans, Clovers), etc.
