As general manure 5 g of Na._,HP04 and of K2SO4 per pot were 

 applied. Ten young paddy rice plants of equal size were transplanted into 

 each pot on Sept. 24,-^ 1905, all pots were kept in the glass house until 

 Nov. 20 and were then removed to a green house kept at i5-3o''C. but 

 even here the seeds did not ripen, probably on account of the development 

 of numerous young shoots. The following observations were made Oct. 10 

 and Feb. 19 when the plants were cut.
