Plant Foods Must
Be Kept on Hand
Fertilizers Are Just a. Es-
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
q 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. II 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, require
more potash than others.
Garden soils may be acid or alkaline,

be sweet, the United States Depart

Of our garden crops may be grown on
