Magnesia and Iron. 



We have now dealt with all the prin- 

 cipal elements that are used by plants. 

 Magnesia and iron and silica are found 

 in the ash of plants, but these are 

 usually found in sufficient quantities in 

 Boils for the plant's use. An oversupply 

 of magnesia is injurious j so is an over- 

 supply of iron. Iron is essential to all 

 plant growth. The chlorophyl graind 

 of the green leaves and green parts of 

 plants all contain iron. Iron appears 

 to have a stimulating influence upon 

 beans and roses. A small quantity of 

 sulphate of iron will add strength and 

 vigor to beans. Good results should be 

 obtained by using it in forcing beans. 

 Boses respond readily, and a remark- 

 able vigor and strength of growth is 

 produced by using a solution of sul- 

 phate of iron. A few drops of chloride 

 of iron, used for palms and plants 

 whose foliage has lost its bright green 

 color, will generally be beneficial. Of 

 course, plants in sour soil, or having 

 decayed roots, will not be so revived. 



Sheboygan, Wis. — J. E. Matthewson

 school building, providing it is located

Butland, Vt.— ^Sidney A. Baker is
