The foundation for your season’s growth is 
fertilizer that permeates the soil in_ its 
first preparation before sowing seed or 
planting. Cover ground surface with ma- 
nure if available, or commercial fertilizer. 
Follow directions as to proportions to the 
square foot, and turn under with spading. 
Spread fresh manures in the fall or winter, 
and spade under in spring. Commercial fer- 
tilizer should be spaded in a little before 
planting is done, unless it is non-burning 
material. If no manure is used, cover surface 
area with a layer of peat before spreading 
commercial fertilizer, thus adding humus 
continually to the soil as well as the neces- 
sary plant foods.
