I ? ? 6 fllses and Abuses of Fertili J By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment 6. FERTILIZERS AND HORTICULTURE. The Fifth of a Seriee of Six Articles. The fruit and vegetable growers are always leaders in the u foods for their crops. This Is especially true of the vegetable groi they wish la rapid growth iu their produce, so that they will g? tables on the market in the shortest possible time from the time Tins is the secret of success with vegetable*, and the only way t< conditions is to apply fertilizers iu large Quantities. In the uei shall tell about the "home garden" and how to fertilize it. In t paper ?c are to tell more particularly about fruit trees and other I plants. '1 he relation of apple growing to fertiliiers has never been ve worked out. We know that the use of fertilizers with fruit especially apples, pays, but we have not yet Worked out the be for the various kinds of trees, nor the amounts which pay best.

The best way to increase the pi manures is to add to the manures the mineral elements in vat and mix with leal* mold and manures, Brisbin also recommends should not he allowed to grow around the apple trees, as they t the plant food which is put down for young trees. The best method of producing fruit is to keep the field or orchil growing other crops which require constant attention and cultivs farmers and horticulturists fertilize the crops that grow in the c in litis way save the expense of fertilizing I he fruit trees agaii instance* legumes are grown as a cover crop, and, incidentally nitrogen. The orchard cannot be cultivated too deeply, or injury it needs to be cultivated shallow, and manures or fertilizers reasonable quantities. While it is necessary to put fertilizers ne: of the tree, yet the roots scatter pretty well over an orchard, at food that happens to fall further away from the trunk is not lc A large crop of apples or peaches takes from the soil much such as nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and unless this is si time to time, the trees will prove less fruitful and finally beai fruit, and what they do bear will be of poor quality. The argum trees in pastures bear good fruit is not sound, because condition many isolated places this way that cannot be duplicated iu t i Many times It Is the natural leaf mold, woods earth, droppings fr and other materials carrying available plant food that make I such trees. Besides, such fruit is rarely ever as excellent and that grown In a well-kept orchard. Kruit, like all other kinds garden crops, must be forced more or less to measure up to a hb To force the fruit, and at the same time keep the land feriile, we to the soil as much fertilizer as the crop takes from it Bruit trees demand in their growth a fertilizer rather rich in phosphoric acid, hut not very rich in nitrogen. It was found th:i trees in California at the Riverside Experiment Station grew bett did better every way with a complete fertilizer than with any food element, or any incomplete combination, it was also fou acid requirements of these trees were more completely suppiif phate of ammonia than from any other nitrogen source. Many of the experiment stations have secured good results froi orchards, but none quite so good as the Ohio station. F.
