SOW CROPS GROW. 
A TREATISE 
ON THE 
Chemical Composition, Structure, 
and Life of the Plant, 
FOR ALL STUDENTS OF AGRICULTURE.

BY 
SAMUEL W. JOHNSON, M. A. 
PrioFESson of Analytical and Agricultural Chem¬ 
istry in Yale College; Chemist to the Conn. 
State Agricultural Society ; Member of 
the National Academy of Sciences. 
This is a volume of nearly 400 pages, in which Agri¬ 
cultural Plants, or “ Crops,” arc considered from three 
distinct, yet closely related, stand-points, as indicated by 
the descriptive title. 
The Chemical Composition of the Plant 
Is discussed in three Chapters. 
1st.— The Volatile Part. 
IKS..—The Ash— its Ingredients, their Distribution, Varia¬ 
tion and Quantities. The Composition of the Ash 
of various Farm Crops, with full Tables; and the 
Functions of the Ash. 
3d.— Composition of the Plant in various Stages of 
Growth , and the Relations subsisting among the 
Ingredients. 
The Structure of the Plant and the 
Offices of its Organs 
Is the subject of the Second Division, in which are 
discussed 
The Primary Elements of Organic Structure. 
The Vegetative Organs— Root, Stem, and Leaf, and their 
Functions; and 
The Reproductive Organs , viz.. Flowers and Fruit, and 
the Vitality of Seeds with their Influence on the Plants 
they produce. 
The Life of the Plant 
Forms the Third Division, under which are discussed 
the Phenomena of 
Germination , and the conditions most favorable and 
unfavorable to it. 
The Food of the Plant when independent of the Seed. 
Sap and its Motions , etc., etc. 
The Appendix, which consists of 12 Tables exhibiting 
the Composition of a great number of Plants viewed 
from many different stand-points, will be found of ines¬ 
timable value to practical agriculturists, students, and 
theorists.
