342 West 14tii Street 

 NEW YORK CITY 



Brules, 14.9 inches. The quality of the 

 flowers, measured in this manner, is 

 about the same in the Killarneys, 

 ^liether own-root or grafted, and is 

 somewhat superior in grafted Brides to 

 own-root Brides. 



The question whether it pays to grow 

 |riifted stock may be answered by the 

 figiires given above, and the average 

 Pi"i e for flowers of such quality. With 

 S'''fted Killarney, for instance, the ex- 

 ^6ss production over own-root stock of 

 ^6(1 plants was 2,541 flowers. The aver- 

 ^g' wholesale price of Killarney of this 

 qu.'ility would range around $6 per hun- 

 ^'■' i; the excess production of these 

 96<^ plants would sell for $152.46 at this 



price — twice the difference in cost be- 

 tween own-root and grafted Killarney 

 per thousand. This, of course, is for 

 the first year after planting, alone. 



With and Without Artificial Food. 



Those sections to which manure alone 

 was applied are compared in the figures 

 given below, for the average number of 

 flowers produced per sixteen plants, with 

 those sections to which eight pounds of 

 dried blood, two pounds of acid phos- 

 phate and two pounds of potassium sul- 

 phate per hundred square feet were 

 added, and with sections to which 

 thirty-two pounds of dried blood with 

 amounts of acid phosphate and potas- 



sium sulphate as named in the previotis 

 sections had been applied.
