i;ite (if Olio ton ])cr aero, or about five 

 |i(iiiii(ls ](or 100 sijuare feet, he applied 

 to soils. We have found that a larger 

 i|uaiitity should be used for our soils in 

 order to fjot inaximiim returns. The 

 acid iihospliate or bone may be apjdied 

 to the soil and manure comport in its 

 inakin^r or it may be mixed with the soil 

 just before being jilantod. If it is de- 

 sired to use a complete commercial fer- 

 tili/or, one having an analysis of about 

 4-lli-,'i woubl give good results in our 

 type of soil. The application of potash 

 is not necessary in most soils, for tliis 

 compound is usually present in ample 

 quantities; however, if it is desired to 

 use a complete fertilizer, the jiotash cou- 

 tainoil in it will do no harm. 



Applying the Fertilizer. 



Personally, I feel that the ideal sys- 

 tem of aj)j)lying fertilizers to greenhouse 

 soils is one whicli recognizes the fact 

 lh;it nitrogen is easily lost from the soil, 

 while phosphoric acid remains fixed; 

 also that soluble nitrogen i.s pronounced 

 ill its effects on growth, large (luantities 

 lesulting in soft, weak growth, while 

 ]dios]diorie acid has little apparent ef- 

 fect on growth and relatively large (pian- 

 tities do not affect plants injuriously. 

 Considering these facts, the soil should 

 roeeivo, during its iiropar.atiou, relative- 

 ly largo (|ii;int it ios of |ihos]ihoric acid, a 

 i|iiaiitity suflicient for the season's 

 growth, and enough soluble nitrogen, 

 su)i]iliod by the n.atural m;tnures and a 

 form of pro])ared fertilizer such as dried 

 blood, to initiate good growth. Then, 

 from time to time, more nitrogen should 

 bo sujiplied as the plants, as indicated 

 by their growth, require. This system 

 is ;id\ocated not only because it is based 

 on fundamental facts, but also because 

 the grower can better study and observe 

 the response of the plants to fertilizers 

 and, besides, he can learn the needs of 

 his soil in the way of necessary fer- 

 tilizers.
