Brown's Victoria Nurseries, Ltd. 618 VIEW STREET Victoria's Leading Florist nitrogen, and using carnations and roses as the interpreting crops. An area 30x50 feet is devoted to each crop, eaeli area being divided into five plots 10x30 feet. Plot 1 consists of ordinary greenhouse soil, manure and sod compost. Plot 2 the same, with manure at the rate of twenty-five tons per acre. Plot 3 is one-fourth muck, by volume, and three- fourths soil. Plot 4 is one-half muck, and plot ;") is three-fourths muck. One year's results are available for carna- tions, as the work on this crop started in 1920. The first blooms were gathered December 23 and the last March 22. The plot with no treatment yielded HSS blooms; the manure plot, 709; the one- fourth muck plot, 679; the one-half muck plot, 620; and the three-fourths muck jdot, 582 blooms. It will be no- ticed that the yield from the plot with one-fourth muck was nearer tliat of the manure ])lot than any other, and that the yield decreased as the proportion of muck was increased. Most muck soils are deficient in both potash and jjIios- phoric acid, and in using this material it would, of course, be necessary to sup- plement it with commercial fertilizers, but it does supply organic matter, so essential to the intensive production of y;rcenli()use crops. Its use will, probably, be limited to sections near deposits where suitable muck can be secured at low cost. Ton for ton, it most certainly is not as valuable as manure, although it does contain a higher i)ercentage of nitrogen than most manure, for the nitrogen of muck is largely in the CANADA'S FLORIST 8-10 W.
