variety of characters, especially in 

 growth of flowers and stems. 



The fertilizers selected for the work 

 were forms commonly used, and are 

 easily procured: Dried blood, sodium 

 nitrate and ammonium sulphate for ni- 

 trogen; acid phosphate, raw rock phos- 

 phate and steamed bone for phosphorus; 

 potassium sulphate, kainite and wood 

 ashes for the potassium. Ground lime- 

 stone and ashes were also used to fur- 

 nish lime. Sheep manure and well rotted 

 stable manure were also used. 



In preparing the sections a definite 

 amount of manure was added to each of 

 the sections, excepting those used as 

 checks. The chemical fertilizers were 

 then weighed out and added and the 

 whole thoroughly incorporated. All chem- 

 ical fertilizers were applied in quantities 

 to afford an equal amount of the element 

 for wliieh they were used. 



All fertilizers were applied before 

 planting, with the exception of those 

 containing nitrogen. Of these, one-half 

 of the dried blood was added at this 

 time and the remainder later. Of the 

 sodium nitrate and ammonium sulphate 

 only one-fifth was added before planting. 

 The remainder was added later, in four 

 installments. 



In securing data, records have been 

 kept of all the flowers as to size, length 

 "f stem, condition of calyx, of the gen- 

 oral character of the plants, temperature, 

 catering, etc. From these data and gen- 

 '■nil observations the work for the fol- 

 lowing year will be planned. 



ACETYLEISfE GAS REFUSE. 



In recent years the usa of acetylene 

 ^'as for lighting purposes has greatly in- 

 I reased. Acetylene generators yield a 

 large quantity of refuse, and, judging 

 Irom the inquiries which from time to 

 time are made as to the manurial value 

 of this waste material, there seems to be 

 considerable doubt as to its composition, 

 f'he fact that it is almost entirely slaked 

 lime has led to its being regarded as of 

 iqual value to lime for use as a manure, 

 fhat it is not quite the same as lime is 

 obvious to the senses both of sight and 

 ^mell. These differences are due to the 

 l>resence of small quantities of impurities 

 in the original calcium carbide used in 

 the preparation of the gas. That the
