The sort of Turnips — Green Rounds, drilled in rows, near two feet distant, 
and well hoed. The land clean, and in a high state of cultivation. 
Note. — The result of these experiments goes to prove that on turnip land of 
this character neither insoluble I'hospliatcs nor unformed Ammoniucal Salts will 
answer so well for the Turnip plant as soluble Phosphiiies and readii-furmed Salts 
of Ammonia; though there is a discrepancy between Nos. 3, 4, 8, and 10, which 
cannot be explained, except that there was more chicken weed on Nos. 3 
and 4. 
It was intended that the materials of No. 6 should have been mixed for some 
weeks before being used, in order to have given time for the formation of Am-
