A SDGGESTIOH TO GARDENERS 
M'' 
ARKET g.irdenerson Long Island now rely almost wholly upon fertilizers, ft is said that over 5,1^ tons are 
A.TJ,. used in this small territory annually. Why? First,—Because they are cheaper than manure, alihongh the 
Long Island farmers are so near New York City that stable manure can be brought to them in boat-loads at a very low 
price. Secondly,—Fertilizers are more cheaply applied, and produce as large crops of fully as good quality. It seems 
to us that market gardeners would do wjll to buy manure only for its mechanical action on the soil and for^bottora heat. 
There are many market g.ardencrs in the vicinity of Boston that arc. as the Germans say. ” manure sick.” 1 hat is to 
say, they are in that condition in which there is not a sufficient supply of mincr.i! elements to produce a paying crop. 
To such lands, mineral fertilizers or chemicals sliould be applied for they correct this condition.^ ^ Let all market 
gardeners, therefore, who have not done so. try fertilizers on such lands. In other words, buy fertilizers, which are 
concentrated plant food, for the same reason that grain, which is concentrated animal food, is bought for farm stock. 
Let the manure hold_ the s.arne relaiioo in the feeding of the soil, that the hay does in the feeding of stock. ^ Hay is 
bii/iy animal food, while grain is co/zc^/ttratcf/ food. Manure is bulky plant food, while chemical fertilizers are 
concentrated plant food. In each case ihey are best used logciher.
