This experiment, as far as it has 

 gone, would also tend to prove that as 

 good carnations can be grown with com- 

 mercial fertilizers as with manure, as 

 there is practically no difference in 

 the number of flowers cut or in the 

 strength of stem. As far as the growth 

 is concerned, there is little if any diff- 

 erence. 



Bose Experiments. 



The work on roses has been continued 

 along the same lines as during the last 

 year; namelv, a test of grafted and 

 own-root stock and fertilizer work sim- 

 ilar to that of the carnation experi- 

 ment. 



Fertilizer Experiment. 



The varieties used for this purpose 

 are Killarney and Bride, each occupy- 

 ing two benches 4x100 feet. Each 

 bench was divided into ten sections 

 and each section was used for a diff- 

 erent quantity of commercial fertilizer. 



As roses are considered heavy feeders, 

 the units selected for this work are 

 double the amount used with the car- 

 nations. The same fertilizers were also 

 used. Here, as in the carnation, the 

 quantities were doubled and quadrupled 

 singly, in pairs and all together. 



Well decayed manure was also used 

 to supply the necessary humus. The 

 unit of application was as follows: |

Not much can be said as yet regard- 

 ing the general results of the work, 

 as it requires this year's and an ad- 

 ditional year's work to verify the re- 



sults. There are, however, a few re- 

 sults that are so plainly evident that 

 there can be no mistake concerning 

 their accuracy. 



The most evident results in the ex- 

 periment show that in some sections too 

 much fertilizer has been used. This is 

 true where four units (twelve pounds
