FERTILIZER & = 
a 
PEAT 
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 manure if avail- 
able, or commercial fertilizer. Follow direc- 
tions as to proportion to the square foot, 
and turn under with spading. Spread fresh 
manures in the fall or winter, and spade 
under in spring. Commercial fertilizer should 
be spaded in a little before planting is done, 
unless it is non-burning material. If no ma- 
nure 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 necessary plant foods.
