Plant Foods Must
Be Kept on Hand
Fertilizers Are just as E.s-
sential in Small Home
Garden as Seeds.

Plant foods, or the elements that make
plants grow, are just as essential in
the home garden as seeds. Nature has
been very kind in that she has sup
piled the most of these elements in
abundance in our soils, but there are
a few of them which have not been
supplied in sufficient quantities to pro-
duce good crops. These are mainly
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and
lime. 1t is nitrogen that gives the
plants their vigorous growth and
healthy green color. Phosphorus aids
the growth and especially helps in the
formation of the seeds. Without pot
ash all garden crops would be a fail
ure, but some crops, such as potatoes,
beets, carrots, radishes, etc.a require
more potash than others.
Garden soils may be acid or alkaline,
that is, they may be sour or they may
be sweet, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture explains. A few
of our garden crops may be grown on
sour soil, but these are very few in
deed and most of them must be planted
on a sweet alkaline soil. Lime will
sweeten an acid or sour soil, the
amount of lime required depending
upon the sourness or acidity of the

Everbearing Berries
in the Home Garden

The everbearing varieties of straw
berries are especially valuable in the
home garden, because they not only
produce a crop in the spring, but also
another during the fall. The United
States Department of Agriculture says
the fall crop usually begins ripening
in August and continues until freezing
weather comes.
This type of strawberry should be
handled little differently from ordi-
nary strawberries, that is, new row
should be planted every spring and
after fruiting in the fall and the next
spring. it should be discarded, because
the plants are not very productive
after that time. The new plants
should be set early in the spring and
the blossoms kept picked off until early
in August when they may be left for
producing the fall crop. Runners will
be formed during the first year, but
usually everbearing varieties do not
produce many runners. These ever
bearing varieties may be grown either
as single plants In hills, or if enough
runners form, they may be grown in
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-04-03

narrow matted rows. The rows should
be planted about two and one-half or
three feet apart, unless they will be
kept as single plants in hills and then
two feet apart is better distance for
the rows.
The plants should be well cultivated
until August then enough mulching ma
terial put around them to keep the
berries from touching the ground or
the rain from splashing earth on them.
When the ground freezes in the fall
the plants should be covered about two
inches deep with straw. In the spring
this straw should be raked between
the rows to keep the spring crop Of
fruit clean.
The Superb is good variety for the
states east of the Mississippi river
and Progressive is good variety for
the states west of the Mississippi
river.
