Ways to Improve Your Soil 
HUMUS:—In some form is useful to 
all plants. 
1. Lightens heavy soil. 
2. Provides water storage in light 
soils. 
3. Is nature’s own food. 
Warning:—Must be renewed every 
two years. 
Peat Moss:—The best all around hu¬ 
mus. Safe and clean. 
Leaf mold, Avoods clearings, dead leaves, 
etc. Also good, tho apt to be un¬ 
sightly. 
MANURE:—The most valuable of all 
soil conditioners. 
1. Does all that humus does. 
2. Also provides a balanced diet of 
potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen 
in a form fit for instant use. 
Warning:—Fresh manure fills soil with 
choking gases. (Lime only makes 
this worse). Use weathered (old) 
manure once a year or if fresh, then 
use only a little at a time, repeating 
twice a year. 
LIME:— 
1. “Sweetens” the soil—that is reduces 
acidity. (For Lilacs, etc.). 
2. Promotes decay, so provides quick 
food from humus in soil. 
3. Flocculates clay soils:—Thus mak¬ 
ing clay into loam and counteract¬ 
ing other harmful chemicals in clay.

LIME 
Warning:— 
(a) Lime kills Rhododendrons, etc. 
(b) Too much lime prevents iron 
being absorbed — hence yellows 
leaves. 
(c) Lime must be renewed each year. 
ACID:—To acidify soils the safest thing 
is Aluminum Sulphate. Spread V 2 cup 
on 1 sq. yd. This over 2 months slowly 
dissolves in water.

SOIL TESTING OUTFITS: 
Refill:—(Specify whether 
The Sudbury 
Home Gardener’s 
Kit (new model) 
tests for nitrogen, 
phosphorus, pot¬ 
ash and acidity. 
It will make at 
least three sepa¬ 
rate tests for each 
element. No tech¬ 
nical skill required. 
Results are appar¬ 
ent immediately. 
Postpaid $ 2.00 
(Complete with 
instructions) 
Testing Fluid for 
for nitrogen, phos¬ 
phorus, potash or acidity), 2 oz. $.76; 6 oz. $1.60 
FERTILIZER:—All plants in gardens 
benefit by having plenty of food. 
1. Strong growth — hence increased 
hardiness. 
2. More flowers. Better color. 
3. Healthy plants—hence freer of dis¬ 
ease and insect troubles. There are 
3 main foods needed: — Potassium 
(Potash), Phosphorus (Phosphates), 
Nitrogen (Nitrates, e.g., ammonia): 
These in various proportions are 
provided in commercial “Farm Fer¬ 
tilizers”—(any hardware store or 
we will quote on request). 
Bone meal:—(High in Phosphorus). 
Lasts about 2 years in ground. 
Dry Blood meal:—(High in Nitrogen). 
Leaches out in about six weeks— 
never apply in Fall. 
HardAvood Ashes:—(Potash) (lessens 
acid). Leaches out in one summer. 
Apply in Spring. 
Patented Plant Foods:—Loma, Vigoro, 
Planttabs, etc. More expensive, but 
simpler to use. Prices on request. 
SHREDDED COW MANURE 
Well rotted, can be applied as a direct 
mulch. Moisture 25 to 40%. Sold in 
100 lb. bags—$1.00 each. ($1. covers 
300 sq. feet). 
PULVERIZED MANURE 
Bone-dry (under 5% moisture) and 
safe to use, as well as economical. Sold 
in 50 lb. bags which are almost the 
equal of 100 lbs. of the above. Price, 
$1.00 per bag. You save on freight. ($1. 
covers 300 sq. feet). 
PULVERIZED POULTRY-PEAT 
Bone-dry powder of poultry manure 
and peat moss. A superb all-round food 
supply. Must be used sparingly, and 
spread thin, for it is 3 times stronger 
than the above. The most fertilizer you 
can buy for your money. Price, 50 lb. 
bags for $1.00 each. ($1. covers 1000 
sq. feet).
