Mr. Hike was away on business. His 

 people report business as having been 

 good this season. They have a large 

 display room in front of the green- 

 houses, with a large service room in the 

 rear. He is making a special show of 

 cinerarias, which were the finest the 

 writer has seen this season.

twenty per cent of it, common salt at 

 the rate of something over twenty-five 

 pounds per hundred square feet of 

 bench space were applied to the va- 

 rieties White Perfection and White En- 

 chantress, a single chemical being ap- 

 plied to a section. The results were 

 quite different with the different chem- 

 icals. Those plants treated with dried 

 blood, potassium sulphate or soflium 

 phosphate showed no signs of injury, 

 and even now, when a further applica- 

 tion of five pounds each has been made, 

 no effect is seen excepting in a soft- 

 ness of the flower, a drooping of the 

 stems and a general retardation of 

 growth, quite similar in all cases. In 

 the case of those plants to which salt 

 was applied, plasmolysis occurred with- 

 in three days, the plants falling over 

 on account of weakness at or near the 

 crown. The general appearance of the 

 foliage did not change excepting that 

 the chlorphyl gradually and uniformly 

 disappeared and by this time most of 

 the plants are dead. Where sulphate 

 of ammonia was applied, injury which 

 rapidly became marked was noticed 

 within two weeks after application, but 

 the appearance of the foliage indicated 

 a distinct toxic effect characteristic of 

 this fertilizer. Instead of a falling over 

 at the crown, the first sign of injury 

 was a browning of the tips of the 

 sepals. Later this extended down the 

 juncture between the sepals, causing 

 them to part, and resulting in the for- 

 mation of a split flower. Flowers fully 

 open and half to full grown buds 

 showed a characteristic weakness just 

 above that node second or third below 

 the flower, where the color disappeared, 

 the cells collapsed, causing the stem to 

 bend over sharply St this point. The 

 leaves exhibited a characteristic white 

 spotting, due to the collapse of the 

 chlorophj'l-bearing cells beneath the 

 epidexfnis at these places, while the re-

mainder of the leaf retained its normal 

 green color. Injury is more marked 

 where lime has been applied, and is 

 worse in the White Enchantress than 

 White Perfection. 



These details are given here because 

 it does not seem possible to detect in- 

 jury to the carnation before over- 

 feeding is rather serious and because, 

 the symptoms being specific, it at least 

 is possible by watching these symptoms 

 to avoid a repetition of overfeeding by 

 the particular fertilizer which caused 

 the trouble. 



The comparative solubility of these 

 fertilizers is approximately:
