Conchisions, 



1. Sulphate of potash in connection with nitrate of soda 

 (Plat 5) has given in every case but one (onions) the best 

 results. 



2. Nitrate of soda as nitrogen source (plats 2 and 5) has 

 yielded in every case, without reference to the form of potash, 

 the best returns. 



3. Sulphate of ammonia as nitrogen source, in connection 

 with muriate of potash as potash source (Plat 1), has given 

 as a rule the least satisfactory returns. 



4. The influence of the difierencein the general character 

 of the weather, whether normal or dry, during succeeding 

 seasons on the yield of the crops has been greater than that 

 of the diflerent fertilizers used upon different plats during 

 the same season.
