Table 1. Quantity of Fertilizer. 



Plants of normal growth and of equal size were carefully selected 

 as samples for analysis. Ten to twenty bundles were uprooted at the 

 desired stages of growth, from each plat, and immediately divided 

 into botanical parts, so as to obtain their weights in a fresh state. 

 The preparation of these samples will be described under the heading 

 "Glucose, Saccharose, Dextrine and Starch Contents", (v. p. 25-28) 

 All these botanical portions were submitted to a chemical analysis.

 its greatest weight at the time of flowering or heading out, as the 

 following figures show:
