Geny Bros. , Florists in Nashville, Tenn. , write us as follows : 



"The cooler you shipped us has given surprising results. We 

 are more than pleased with same. We loaded this cooler with 

 3000 lbs. of ice November 1, and did not put in any more until 

 the 14th, and then put in 1200 lbs. The temperature stands 35° 

 to 38°, and has never reached 40*. We think it one of the best 

 on the market."

The number of flowers was not as great as 

 where all are under best conditions. 



If the results of the past year are 

 borne out by those of the present 

 year, there can be no doubt that grafted 

 plants produce more flowers, as is shown 

 by the differences of 913 in the Brides 

 and 1,223 in the Killarneys in favor, of 

 the grafted plants. These differences 

 are in the cut from 320 grafted and 

 320 own-root plants in each case. 



One of the most interesting facts is 

 that in the experiments the grafted 

 plants, in nearly every case, were larger 

 than the own-root. 



In our estimation, the most interest- 

 ing result is the one mentioned before; 

 namely, that the grafted plants can 

 stand more fertilizer. 



Summary. 



1. Carnations grown with commer- 

 cial fertilizers are the equal of those 

 grown with natural manures. 



2. There is less danger of overfeed- 

 ing with acid phosphate and potassium 

 sulphate, both in roses and carnations, 

 than with dried blood. 



3. Where ammonium sulphate is used 

 in the place of dried blood the soil dries 

 out sooner. 



4. Where large amounts of nitrogen 

 are used there is liable to be more 

 rust in the carnations.
