PRESERVATION OF HEN MANURE 



It has been a fact of common knowl- 

 edge for a long time that, as ordinarily 

 stored, hen manure loses a large part of 

 its nitrogen. Little attention has bean 

 given to means of preventing these los*s. 

 The Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion has made a careful study of the ef- 

 fects of chemicals upon the loss of nitro- 

 gen, and reached the following conclu- 

 sions: 



By itself, hen manure is a one-sided 

 nitrogenous fertilizer. As usually man- 

 aged, one-half or more of its nitrogen is 

 lost, so that as ordinarily used it does 

 not carry so great an excess of nitrogen. 

 Because of its excess of nitrogen it will 

 be much more economically used in con- 

 nection with manures carrying phos- 

 phoric acid and potash. As both acid 

 phosphate and kainit prevent the loss of 

 nitrogen, it is possible to use them in 

 connection with saw dust or some other 

 dry material as an absorbent so as to 

 make a well balanced fertilizer. For 

 example, a mixture of thirty pounds of 

 hen manure, ten pounds of saw dust or 

 dry loam, sixteen pounds of acid phos- 

 phate, and eight pounds of kainit would 

 carry about 1.25 per cent nitrogen, 4.5 

 per cent phosphoric acid, and 2 per cent 

 potash, which, used at the rate of two 

 tons per acre, would furnish fifty pounds 

 nitrogen, 185 phosphoric acid and eighty 

 pounds potash.

BLACK FLY ON MUMS. 



Jly whole stock of young chrysanthe- 

 mums is covered with black fly. I never 

 had this trouble before and would like 

 to know what to do. F. E. 



The black fly is very common on 

 chrysanthemums at all seasons of the 

 year, and I am surprised that the sub- 

 scriber has not been troubled with it 

 before. Black" fly does not seem to do 

 much damage and long familiarity with 

 it renders some growers indifferent to it 

 unless it gets particularly numerous. 

 Tobacco stems spread all around the 

 plants will kill the fly in short order, a> 

 will also dusting the plants well with to- 

 bacco dust. Briajj Bobtj.

NEW ROSES 



Cardinal and gnchaotress 



Bead testimonials from tAvo of the largest growers in Washington who have bought 

 a hirge nuiiilifr nf pUlnt^^ after seeing them growing at my place. 



Washini,;tqn. D. C, February 27. 1904. 



Your new rose Cardinal came duly to band and we firmly believe it will have a great 

 future, and will certainly be a money maker as it is in a class all to itself, being superior in 

 form and habit to anything that we have as yet seen. Your new rose Enchantress we also 

 think will be a great money maker, judging from its profuse blooming quality, as we have 

 seen it several times in mid-winter. It cannot help being a winner. Wishing you ever success, 

 we remain. Yours trulv, A. GUDE & BRO. 



American liose Co.. 009 F St.. N. W.. Washington, March 17, 1904. 

 Dear Sir: We gave all the show possible to Enchantress and Cardinal, placing them in 

 our window with placards telling what they were. They kept a week, retaining their brilliant 

 color to the last. Cardinal was as full of perfume the day its petals dropped as when it was 

 first cut. The roses are both matchless, and we believe destined to outclass all roses of their 

 color for forcing under glass. Very sincerely yours.
