fertilizer but grass, pale in color, thin and not leafy. 
Nos. 1,857 and 1,977 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack

growth both seasons, not as dense and leafy as on plot with largest 
amount of nitrogen. 
Nos. 1,858 and 1,978 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack

of soda at the rate of 480 pounds per acre. Growth, very heavy, dark 
green in color, dense leafy growth, with an especially heavy bottom

plots, color pale, and bottom growth light. 
Nos. 1,853 and 1,965 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack

of soda at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Growth, much alike each 
season. Quite heavy, fair color, bottom growth thick. 
Nos. 1,854 and 1,966 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack
