The fertilizers were mixed with fine, dry sand before being applied 
in order to insure a more uniform distribution over the surface of the' 
plats. The lot selected for experiment was as nearly uniform in 
general appearance at time of sowing the fertilizers, May 3, as could 
have been expected.

The lot, like the surrounding field, was covered with a good growth 
of timothy and some red clover. The application of the nitrogenous 
fertilizers tended to stimulate the growth of the clover, so that on 
those plats where nitrogen was applied, there was a large increase in 
the proportion and growth of the clover. 
The notes taken under date of June 9 will indicate the general 
appearance of the plats at that date. 
No. 1. Grass nearly the same in general appearance as the surround- 
ing field. 
No. 2. Grass thicker, further advanced, and of a deeper color, with 
more clover than in No. 1. 
No. 3. In appearance more nearly as No. 1. 
No. 4. Eesembles No. 2. 
No. 5. Not nearly so good as No. 4, but better than No. 1. 
No. 6. Some better than last.
