FERTILIZERS 
Every soil benefits from fertilizer, and it is essential for some soils. Although 
there are many excellent prepared fertilizers on the market, the best all-round fer- 
tilizer is well-rotted manure. 
For tree planting, mix one part fertilizer to four parts of the soil used in filling 
the hole. As the tree grows, apply fertilizer farther and farther from the tree so it 
will reach the small roots. 
or so. 
Work it well into soil. 
This may be done every year 
Commercial fertilizer should be used if ordinary manure fails to supply enough 
minerals for your soil. 
THE BEST KNOWN FERTILIZERS 
ALUMINUM SULPHATE is used to 
lower the pH value and thereby increase the 
acidity of the soil before planting acid- 
loving plants.

PROPER FEEDING NECESSARY 
For maximum growth, bloom, and general 
well-being, it is necessary to feed these 
shrubs properly... Unfortunately for the 
Azalea and Camellia grower, most com- 
mercial fertilizers are made neutral by 
the use of limestone, and are not suitable 
for these acid-loving plants. Likewise, to 
home-mix a proper fertilizer requires the 
purchase, in small quantities, and there- 
for at high cost of a number of materials 
which are difficult to mix thoroughly. 
I; is with this in mind that we have 
prepared a balanced, complete plant-food 
for Azealeas and Camellias. We are con- 
stantly studying the feeding of these plants 
with the idea in mind of making any 
changes in our fertilizer that definitely — 
prove of value.
