It is quite probable that finely ground steamed bone meal could ha\e been used in equal amounts with as good results, although its value was not tested. The dried blood should not be applied in full amount at the time of preparation of the soil, but one- fourth should be mixed with the soil and manure at this time, followed by three further applications as top dress- ings during the season, at times when the roses are coming into heavy crop. On no account should application lie made during the off season, or the period of little growth, during the dark days of winter. Care should be taken not to scratch the dried bldod into the soil deeper than one-half inch, as deeper cultivation will cause the breaking of many small roots, and dropping of the older leaves, as a result of the dis- turbance of the root system. The results given in this summary ?were obtained by applying fertilizer to the type of soil known as the brown silt loam, common throughout the "corn ; On account of the mod- erate amount of dried blood recom- mended, and the small tendency of acid phosphate to produce injury from overfeeding, these amounts are un- doubtedly safe for use on any Illinois soil. The fertilizers recommended will supply the elements lacking in most soils also, with the exception of those peaty and sandy soils of northern Illi- nois which have been shown to be de- ficient in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original American Florists Company.
