Proper fertilization is the most important single operation that can be performed 
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 appli- 
cation of good fertilizers at proper intervals.
