EXPERIMENTS WITH FERTILIZERS. 



Quantities of several commercial fertilizers having been supplied, the five rows 

 of grapes in the northeast block, planted in 1888, and trained upon a four-wire, 

 horizontal trellis, fifty plants in each rov?, were divided into sections, each extend- 

 ing across the entire five rows, and applications of fertilizers made as follows: 

 The growth of plants in the sections not fertilized is assumed to be medium, or 

 5, in the scale 1 to 10, 1 being the maximum. The crop of fruit being exceedingly 

 light, owing to a liilling frost in May last, is not talien into the account.
