QUICK ACTION FERTILIZERS 
Where a quick stimulation of plant growth is desired in preference 
to soil improvement we can make two recommendations. NITRATE OP 
SODA is a strong forcer rather than a soil enricher. Where quick succu¬ 
lent growth is desired, such as Lettuce, Sweet Com, etc., Nitrate of Soda 
is a valuable chemical. Mixed with sand and applied at the rate of 
200 to 500 lbs. to the acre or, if you may desire to use it in a small way, 
dissolve two ounces to one gal. of water and apply occasionally with a 
sprinkling can. If your object is to grow maximum crops you must fur¬ 
nish your plants with Nitrogen and the best method is with Nitrate of 
Soda used in addition to your other manures or fertilizers. DRIED BLOOD 
MEAL is another of the quick acting fertilizers which, running high in 
nitrogen and about 16 per cent ammonia, it will produce quickly apparent 
results. It is excellent as a top dressing for Roses, Chrysanthemums and 
all kinds of pot plants. 
MURIATE OF POTASH FOR DAHLIAS 
And also for all other root crops, being an essential element for crops 
of this class as it is about 60 per cent potash. One part muriate of 
potash to four parts Bone Meal, applied in July or August, m a k es an ex¬ 
cellent top dressing for Dahlias, using a handful to each plant. Applied 
to garden crops use TOO lbs. to the acre in combination with other fer¬ 
tilizer. 
MANY TREES NEED TO BE FED 
Valuable flowering trees and young growing trees will be much im¬ 
proved by a little care. Use an iron bar to make a series of holes one 
foot deep in a circle around the tree at a distance equal to the outer 
spread of the limbs. Pour a good handful of Bone Meal in each hole 
and fill to the top with fine soil. 
“HANG ME ON A HANDY HOOK” 
“I am probably worth a place where you can find me when you may 
wish to refresh your mind on some Lawn and Garden point,” says thiB 
HANDY FOLDER, “so hang me on a handy hook when you have read me 
for I really want to be of Bervice.”
