On comparing the efficacy of the manures with regard to the number 

 of times of application and the seasons of manuring as tried on Sugi and 

 Hinoki seedlings, we note that the lots which showed the best results are 

 much alike in the mode of manuring, regardless of manures and tree 

 species. Thus, for ammonium sulphate, Chili saltpetre and rape-seed cake 

 Lot No. 3 showed the best result both for Sugi and Hinoki; with night 

 soil, the best results was obtained both for Hinoki and Sugi. in Lot No. 1, 

 while with rape-seed cake, the result of Lot No. 1 was far inferior both 

 for Sugi and Hinoki. Evidently, organic fertilizers like rape-seed cake, 

 decompose slowly and when the considerable quantity of them are given 

 at one time it necessarily give rises to a great quantity of objectionable 

 organic acids, whereby the growth of seedlings seems to be greatly 

 injured. 



The average growth of seedlings produced by the different modes of 

 manuring is arranged according to the lots as follows: — 



III. Efficacy of the Base Manure 



Mode of manuring are classified two divisions, viz. those which have 

 base manure (previous planting seedlings) and those which have no base 

 manure.
