phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phosphoric acid and lime which is formed 
by the action of sulphuric acid on raw 
phosphate rock. It aids in plant nutri- 
tion and assists the plant to assimilate 
other ingredients. Superphosphate is an 
efficient fertilizer element for lettuce, 
truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering 
of lawns tends to sour the soil and eventu- 
ally the lawn becomes foul with sorrel, 
Creeping Charlie, and other weeds which 
thrive in an acid soil. This condition may 
be improved by applying hydrated lime. 
NOTE: Before applying lime to your 
lawn, consult your county agent or your 
seedsman.
