Mixtures Substantially Complying with Guarantees — Continued. 



1 Nitrate salts 1/3, ammonia salts 2/3. 



2 Nitrate salts 2/5, ammonia salts 3/5. 



' The remainder muriate; i.e., sufHcient chlorine present to account for this amount of potash. 



* Two analyses. 



' In one sample 1/4 of the mineral nitrogen was from nitrate salts and 3/4 from ammonia 

 salts; in one sample 3/5 of the mineral nitrogen was from nitrate salts and 2/5 from ammonia 

 salts. 



6 Nitrate salts 1/5, ammonia salts 4/5. 



"> Nitrate salts 3/10,, ammonia salts 7/10. 



8 One analysis (2 samples) showed only a small amount of mineral nitrogen; one analysis 

 (4 samples) showed 2/5 of the nitrogen in mineral form, of whdch 7/10 was from nitrate salts and 

 3/10 from ammonia salts. 



» In one sample the potash was in form of muriate; one analysis (3 samples) showed 3/5 of 

 the potash in form of sulfate. 



'" Largely nitrate salts. 



11 A mistake was made by the manufacturer in formulating this fertilizer, supposed to be a 

 10-3-8, and 12 1/2 tons were shipped before the error was discovered. The guarantee tags were 

 changed to 8-3-8 and the five customers were allowed a rebate of $10 per ton. Under the revised 

 guarantee no commercial shortage was found. 



12 Nitrate salts 1/2, ammonia salts 1/2. 

 1' Nitrate salts 3/5, ammonia salts 2/5. 

 •< Three analyses.
