232 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
No. 1,861 was from a plot which had dissolved boneblack and 
muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,859, and, in addition, nitrate of 
soda at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Growth, fair in color, medium 
heavy with leafy bottom growth. 
No. 1,862 was from a plot which had dissolved boneblack and 
muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,859, and, in addition, nitrate of 
soda at the rate of 480 pounds per acre. Growth, heavy, rich green in 
color, dense bottom growth. 
1,548, 1,971, 1,847, 1,972; £5840; TSO7F9, 1 O50 LO re Timothy 
(Phleum pratense). — Grown in the Station grass garden in 1897 and 1808. 
Samples 1,848, 1,847, 1,849, 1,850, were taken on July 15, 1897, in the 
early seed stage. Samples 1,971, 1,972, 1,973, 1,974, were taken on July 
TI, 1898, when just past bloom. 
Nos. 1,848 and 1,971 were from plots which had no fertilizer. 
Growth, thin and pale in color, uneven and small with little bottom 
growth. 
Nos, 1,847 and 1,972 were from plots to which was applied dissolved 
boneblack at the rate of 320 pounds to the acre and muriate of potash at 
the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Growth, a little heavier than where no 
fertilizer was used, color pale, slender, and not leafy. 
Nos. 1,849 and 1,973 were from plots-which had dissolved boneblack 
and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,847, and, in addition, nitrate 
of soda at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. Growth, quite heavy, fair 
color, medium amount of leaf growth. 
Nos. 1,850 and 1,974 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack 
and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,847, and, in addition, nitrate 
of soda at the rate of 480 pounds per acre. Growth, very heavy and 
dense, dark green in color and very leafy.

fodder. — Grown by the Station in 1897 and 1898 as part of a special 
nitrogen experiment. Fora description of the experiment see pages 
of this Report. Samples 1,871 to 1,880 inclusive were taken on September 
28, 1897. At this time there was a full growth of fodder with a few seed 
pods formed. Samples 6,002 to 6,011 inclusive were taken on October 4, 
1898. 
Nos. 1,872, 1,880, 6,002, and 6,003 were from a plot which had no 
_ fertilizer. 
Nos. 1,871, 1,876, 6,004, and 6,00, were from plots which had dis- 
solved boneblack at the rate of 320 pounds per acre and muriate of 
potash at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. . 
Nos. 1,879 and 6,006 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack 
and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,871, and, in addition, nitrate 
of soda at the rate of 160 pounds per acre. 
Nos. 1,878 and 6,007 were from plots which had dissolved boneblack 
and muriate of potash at the same rate as 1,871, and, in addition, nitrate 
of soda at the rate of 320 pounds per acre. i
