MY MARYLAND 



This new rose, which was introduced last season in a limited way, has proved to be one of the best roses 

 ever introdaced. Every one is enthusiastic in regard to its merits, and it will be planted very largely by the 

 largest, most progressive aud most up-to-date growers, who have already placed large orders for it. 



It is a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, producing long stems and lotxg, pointed buds, exquisitely fragraat. 

 The color is a soft salmon pink. Thk is a rose that we can recommend in the':highest terms, as we are sure it wHl 

 prove very, very satisfactory. It is a welcome addition to our limited list of r^tatly first-class varieties for indoor ctfl- 

 tare; and it is not only a fine midwinter rose, but is also unusually good during the summer months.

working them into the soil around the 

 trees and shrubbery on the campus. 

 "What do you think of this plan and 

 what would be the proper quantity for 

 each tree, in this pure state f What do 

 you think they would be worth per ton 

 as a fertilizer in this stage? J. "W. Y. 



Raw bones contain forty-eight per cent 

 of phosphate of lime and four and one- 

 half per cent of ammonia. In order to 

 derive full benefit from bones, they 

 ought to be reduced to one-half inch or 

 one-quarter inch size, and, for quicker 

 assimilation, to bone meal or bone dust. 

 In this state about one-half peck to each 

 tree would be sufficient. This should be 

 spaded in to the depth of at least six 

 inches. 



Bones in the unprepared state are 

 worth about $8 per ton, but often sell for 

 more. It depends a good deal on local- 

 ity. RiBES. 



GOVERNMENT VILLOW CULTURE 



The government is right in the midst 

 of the harvest of a most unique crop 

 at its experimental farm near Arling- 

 ton, just across the Potomac from 

 Washington, where a corps of laborers 

 in charge of trained foresters are pre- 

 paring for the annual free distribution 

 of 100,000 basket willow cuttings. 



Uncle Sam is encouraging the grow- 

 ing of high grade willow rods in this 

 country, and in the five years since the 

 establishment of the holts at Arlington 

 approximately a half million select cut- 

 tings have been distributed among 

 farmers, with directions for planting 

 aad preparing for market. Particular

attention is given to selecting the va- 

 rieties and strains best suited to the 

 soil where the plantings will be made. 



Willowcraft is an industry which is 

 constantly growing in importance in 

 this country, yet the culture of basket 

 willow in the United States made little 

 progress until five or six years ago. 

 Even now, practically all of the best 

 grades of basket willow are imported 

 from Europe, chiefly from France. 



The government recognizes the im- 

 portance of good cuttings, a point more 

 commonly overlooked than the matter 

 of cultivation. Only the best and most 

 thrifty rods are selected for each sea- 

 son's distribution. To produce a desir- 

 able grade of rods it is very important 

 to select planting stock not only from 

 thoroughlv tested varieties, but the cut- 

 tings should be taken from the tallest,
