Fertilizers: Green manures were resorted to extensively, crops of fall rye 

 and buckwheat being ploughed under on all land not actually in use for nursery 

 operations. In addition, the following fertilizers, other than green manures, 

 were applied during the year: 



Manure 115 tons 



Dried Blood 250 lbs. 



Acid Phosphate 300 lbs. 



Sulphate of Ammonia 100 lbs. 



Muriate of Potash 200 lbs. 



Demonstration Plantations: Thirteen and one-half acres were planted 

 permanently for demonstration purposes. In the southern section of the nursery 

 the plantations were increased by six and three-quarters acres. In the northern 

 part, six and three-quarter acres of hillside forming the east side of the main 

 nursery road were planted to form panels of various species. This road is used 

 extensively by visitors and an attempt was made to concentrate into this area 

 as many types of plantation as possible, for purposes of ready comparison by 

 the general public.
