The various defi- ciencies of plant food in certain solis was explained and the proper fertilization to overcome the lack of nutritien values was thoroughly | explained. Mr. Anderson displayed more than 30 varieties of tulips, all in bloom, selected from the large stock at his greenhouse. The collection was gorgeous in color combinations and each variety was a near-perfect plant and bloom. ., —— 0Old papers for sale at The Several samples of dif-| ferent soils were shown and demon- | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1929.
