Division A. 

 Elementary Principles." 



1. — What are the objects sought to be obtained by digging 

 the soil ? Of what use is it to the crops ? 



2. — What do plants do when exposed to bright sunshine, and 

 what takes place when they are subjected to total darkness? 



3. — Of the elements and compounds that go to make up the 

 constitution of plants, a few occur in much larger proportion 

 than others. Which are they, and whence are they obtained ? 



4. — What are the " reserve materials " of plants? Where 

 are they stored ? What use is made of them ?
