(3) As to the night soil, the best effect was obtained when the 

 entire quantity was given previous to the planting. 



(4) With Sugi, the second good result was obtained in Lot No. 2, 

 both for the Ammonium sulphate, Rape-seed cake, and Night soil, where 

 one-half of the entire quantity was given at first as base manure while 

 the rest was given in September, the next, and also in Lot No. 4 for the 

 Chili saltpetre, Where the entire quantity was given at four times, viz., 

 at first as base manure, beginning of June, middle of September and 

 early in June, next year. 



(5) As to the Hinoki, the second good result was obtained in Lot 

 No. 4 for all manures though this lot showed a medium result with Sugi. 

 In the Rape-seed cake, the lot where the entire quantity was given 

 previous to planting showed the most disappointing result for both tree 

 species. 



(6) Methods other than those above described, proved more or less 

 inferior in general. Further, the efficacy of fertilizers was more remark- 

 able for Sugi than Hinoki, as its growth is far quicker and the similar 

 results were obtained for the each of these tree species. Among the 

 manures applied. Ammonium sulphate showed the best result for both 

 trees and Rape-seed cake the worst. With Sugi, Night soil showed better 

 results than Chili saltpetre but it was just the opposite in the case of 

 Hinoki.
