For most trees and shrubs the best i
1 time to apply fertilizer is at the time (
the buds begin to swell or when spring £
is just around the comer. At this
■ time the plants are beginning active 1
root growth and leaf development and (
are abie to make use of the soluble i
' salts in the fertilizers. An excep
' tion to this rule Would be azaleas
' which should be fertilized as soon as
• they ar e through blooming.
■ Although there is somie variation in
the requirements of different shrubs
i it is usually safe to apply three to
1 four pounds of a 6-8-6 or '6-10-5
• fertilizer per 100 square feet of bed
■ space or from onefourth pound to on e
, pound around each shrub 'where plant
t ed separately according to the size

• that it contains 6 per cent available
- nitrogen, 8 per cent available phos
phoric acid and 6 per cent avail
able potash. The fertilizer should be

the shrubs and watered in if the soil

little different treatment than shrubs.
The feed roots of trees are not close
to the trunk but extend out to a zone
under and just beyond the tips of the
branches. Therefore the fertilizer
should be applied in this zone «hd not
near the trunk. Apply one tb two
pounds of a 6-8-6 mixture the first
year and’ about four pounds per inch
of diameter of the trunk of the tree
each year thereafter. If the land is
cultivated the fertilizer may be cul
tivated in, otherwise it should be ap
plied in holes made with a crowbar
or soir augur.
For grapevines, apply one-half
pound of a 6-8-6 mixture the first
year, one pound each the second and
third year and two to three pounds
per vine per year thereafter.
Stable manure is an excellent fer
tilizer for trees, shrubs and vines and
should be used if available.
