noticed within six days after its appli¬ 
cation. 
Roses and Other 
In the growing of roses and other herbaceous plants, 
of which the flowers constitute the crop, great care is 
' usually taken in the preparation of the soil, and natural 
soils av3 Seldom used. Not withstanding the richness 
of the prepared soil,, the crops are greatly benefitted 
by the addition of Evergreen Brand Fertilizer, since 
it furnishes all the Plant Food elements in available 
forms and sfficient quantities to meet the needs of the 
plants. 
In the next place, it should receive careful attention, 
because its right use permits not only an economical ' 
utilization by the plant but a control of the growth; it 
may be used in such a way as to change, the natural 
tendency and thus improve it for specific uses; thus, in 
addition to the increase in yield which it capses, it en¬ 
hances its market value. ' 
Flowering Plants 
Its uniform action seems to be to stimulate the ca¬ 
pacity of the plant for absorbing water and developing 
foliage and stem growth, and to bring out numbers of 
new shoots, hence with roses and other flowering plants,, 
the best results are secured when this fertilizer is ap- 
plied during the early growing period. If applied late 
in the development of the plant, it has a tendency to 
protract its growing period and to dblay the ripening 
of the flowers, as the energies of the plant are imme¬ 
diately concentrated upon developing its growth. 
It prevents the onslaughts of plant diseases or insect 
pests. 
It can be used Dry or in Solution, at any time during 
the growing season. One pound to the' 100 square feet 
of benching ^has proved to be the most economical and 
Judicious application. , ' , 1 ■ ' 
EVERC^EEN BRAND fERTlLIZER'lS ODORLESS and SA NIT A R Y 
Lawns 
The fertilization 'of lawhs is' very important in a 
sense, because proper fertilizing obviates the necessity 
of the home manure, which, although excellent as 
sources,of the constituents, are frequently offensive. 
The use! of manure also involves considerable labor, 
both in the application and the consequent removal of 
the coarse part in the spring, besides resulting in the 
introduction of weed seeds. ■ 
In the preparation of the soil for a new lawn, it must 
be supplied with an abundance of all the necessary fer¬ 
tilizer ingredients (Evergreen Brand) previous to or 
after seeding. The after-fertilization may consist of 
top-dressings, one pound to the. lOO square feet of 
ground, followed with a good sprinkling of water, at 
any time .during the growing season, and without culti¬ 
vation will be_ absorbed immediately by the soil and 
properly distributed by the capillary movements of 
soil water, hence it is invisible. 
Its ready solubility permits of its free penetration 
into the lower layers which encourages a deeper root 
system, which results in greater resistance to the 
ravages of drought. ' 
It is absolutely free from germs or disease breeding 
matter. 
Its action is characterized by imparting to the grass 
a deep green, healthy and velvety appearance, and by 
causing it to grow rapidly. 
It removes acid from the soil, thus sweetens sour 
land and makes it productive. 
It permanently enriches the soil. 
Its effect upon yellow grass spots or land, may be 
noticed 'within six days after its application, by the 
grass turning to a deep green color. 
It is pulverized, cleahand easy to apply., 
Growing M^ket Garden Crops Under Glass 
The use of stable manure as a source of greenhouse 
plant food has been the custom for so many years, that 
more effective forms of plant food make headway 
slowly, yet the stable manure has many disadvantages. 
It always contains more or less weed seed as well as 
diseasegerms, and it supplies its plant food in available 
form very irregularly. Also, by fermentation it ma¬ 
terially influences the temperature of the seed bed, a 
temperature we have no means of regulating. 
In the next place, the plant foods are none-available, 
hence for forcing it can not be safely relied upon. 
For greenhouse work the Evergreen Brand Fertilizer 
should be used, if the highest marketable quality, 
rapidity of growth and early maturity, are to be at¬ 
tained. 
Evergreen Brand Fertilizer isamagic for early crops. 
All garden crops that you want early, with a rapid 
and luscious growth, will get the proper nourishment 
from the Evergreen Brand Fertililizer, which is per¬ 
fect plant food, ready for them on the instant. 
This fertilizer is peculiarly adapted for broadcasting 
oyer the plants, after they have made a partial growth, 
since it is so completely soluble that but a flight 
amount of moisture is necessary in order to distrbute 
it throughout the soil, and because of its ready, avail¬ 
ability it is used by the plant as soon as it comes in 
contact with roots. It is the only complete fertilizer 
that possesses both these characteristics, and is there¬ 
fore to be particularly recommended for those crops 
which need an early and abundant supply of food. 
Application 
Before or after seeding or before transplanting, 3 weeks during the growing season when the foliage is 
broadcast one pound to the 100 square feet of ground. dry, and followed with a sprinkling of water so as 
oimilar applications may be applied at intervals of 2 to to wash the fertilizer into the soil.
