Flower Culture #8

I have to state "which three plant nutrients are most important to flowering plants."
Nitrogen stimulates lush, green growth. It is very important for lawn fertelizer. Don't put very much on perrenials, which take their time in growing; in fact, if you do give them too much, they will give out weak, thick, water holding stems and large floppy leaves instead of flowers.
Give Perranials phosphorus. It will help build strong roots and stems, and it is important to the production of flowers and gives both blossoms and leaves with a rich, healthy color.
Potassium helps plants fight against disease and cold, so it is very good to give in the fall before the heavy frost.

(By the way, the weeds I pulled yesterday are smaller. The seedling on the left is one I just pulled, and the one on the right is one I pulled yesterday.)
