INFLUENCE OF MANURES ON GRASS [AND. 161 

one exception a larger percentage of Leguminosae was got 
under the influence of nitrate of soda than where sulphate 
of ammonia was used (Plots 10 and 12, Table IX.). This 
result was also obtained at Rothamsted, and has been 
observed elsewhere.

The influence on Leguminose of Superphosphate. — At 
Blencow and Glasson this family of plants has been increased 
at each station three times in four'tests, but at the other two 
stations the tendency has been rather in the opposite direc- 
tion. This illustrates the well-known fact that phosphatic 
manures sometimes fail absolutely to encourage the increased 
growth of clovers and similar plants. Where, in the second 
PEmOMestanOns, super, is imlereased irom 196 libs, (Plot 3)) to 
392 lbs. (Plot 2) and finally to 588 lbs. (Plot 4) there is in no 
case any perceptible increase in the Leguminose; in fact, 
with but one exception (Kirkbampton), a higher percentage 
of these plants is got with the smallest than with the largest 
dose of super. 
So far as the relative effects of super and slag on Legum- 
inose are concerned, little if any difference is observable.
