FERTILIZING THE 
VEGETABLE GARDEN 
If you are growing all the vegetables that 
space permits in your food garden, you must 
provide FERTILIZATION to fit the extra de- 
mands of your intensive planting. A winter 
dressing of manure to be spaded in when the 
ground is prepared, or MORCROP fertilizer 
broadcast over the ground (6 Ibs. to 300 sq. 
ft.) before spading, gives foundation for your 
plants’ food. This can be supplemented 
throughout the season with liquid fertilizer or 
side dressing. In sowing peas, etc., make 
trench deeper than you sow them, put in 
MORCROP (1 to 12 Ibs. per 100 feet); cover 
with soil before sowing. Either MARINA FISH 
or MORCROP fertilizer may be applied, during 
growing season, along the rows, 1/2 to 2 
inches away from plants, at 10 days to two 
weeks intervals. 
Concern over acidity of garden soil has 
been to the fore in recent years. Practically 
all garden vegetables will thrive in soil only 
slightly on the acid side. Unless your soil is 
markedly acid or alkaline it needs no special 
correction, and ordinary good fertilizing prac- 
tice will take care of it. Starter solutions for 
transplanted items, such as tomatoes, are good. 
FLO-MORCROP works nicely and may be con- 
tinued at intervals through the season. For 
single plants, a ring of LUX MORCROP around 
each will take care of requirements. Organic 
material should be worked into the vegetable 
garden each season fo keep the soil loose and 
friable. 
Additional MORCROP during the growing 
season is of great help for many garden 
plants. Corn, melons, onions, 
celery, and squash particularly 
respond to this mid-season 
“spot’’ fertilizing.
