Proper fertilization is the most important single operation that can be per¬ 
formed anywhere in the garden. The soil is a good growth medium only when it 
contains an adequate supply of plant food materials in a soluble form. Through the 
years this supply becomes constantly smaller unless it is replenished. This is best 
done through the application of good fertilizers at proper intervals.
