account for many soils doing excellently with comparatively little 

 culture. All are Tea soils. 



On No, I the Tea does very well and gives tea of medium 

 high quality and does not need much cultivation. 



On No. II the Tea also does excellently, but requires deep and 

 heavy cultivation. 



On No. Ill the Tea lives, but does not yield at all well, nor do

All stones larger than T V inch were removed previous to the 

 analyses. 



The difference is at once seen. It may be considered roughly 

 that the particles down to ^Vff inch in diameter make the soil looser, 

 while those below Ttr V<r incn make the soil stiffer. We have thus : 



Taken in connection with the fact above stated that in No. I 

 the tea is naturally luxuriant, in No, II a large amount of cultivation
