HYDRATED LIME 
An occasional application of Hydrated 
Lime on the lawn will correct acidity 
in the soil. Acid soils are usually caused 
by constant sprinkling and very often 
in shaded places of the lawn will be 
found a surface growth of green moss. 
Hydrated Lime will correct this by sim¬ 
ply being applied on the surface and 
sprinkled. It loosens up heavy soils and 
prevents packing, baking and cracking. 
It promotes the normal decay of organic 
matter in the soil. It requires about 
one-half as much Hydrated Lime as 
any 1 other form of lime to produce same 
results. Price for 10 lb. pkg., 20c each; 
40 lb. bags, 45c. 
Perfection Brand Gladioli Bulbs 
Plant in the spring when all danger of 
frost is over. Plant bulbs four to eight inches 
apart in the row and from three inches deep 
in heavy soil, to five inches deep in lighter, 
sandy soil ; the deeper planting will keep the 
plants from falling over at blooming time. 
Keep soil well worked; keep soil crust from 
forming in the rows after rains or other 
watering. Nitrate of Soda (a tablespoonful to 
two gallons of water to 25 plants) once a 
week after plants break into bud is highly 
recommended. Our bulbs are grown in Iowa, 
where the soil and climate are especially 
adapted to producing strong, healthy bulbs.

Peony Bulbs 
Peonies like a place in the sun, and dense 
shade will injure them. Light shade is not ob¬ 
jectionable. Good garden soil, enriched with 
bone meal and well drained and limed, is need¬ 
ed for peonies. Not more than two or three 
inches of soil should be placed above the 
crown, from which the eyes start. Our bulbs 
or roots are all good, strong divisions averag¬ 
ing 3 to 5 eyes.

The December first Expiration Date on every NITRAGIN can

worthless. NITRAGIN guaranteed fresh each year. 
MIXING NITRAGIN WITH SEED 
Legume germs die rapidly when dried. NITRAGIN containing 
between 30% and 40% moisture, will readily stick to seed without 
adding water, and give good inoculation. However, for best re¬ 
sults, the preferred practice, recommended by the Nitragin Com¬ 
pany and Agricultural authorities, is to use Water when mixing 
legume culture with seed. Directions on every NITRAGIN can. 
NITRAGIN has served the American Farmer since 1898.
