A similar plant in soil freed from the tu bercle bacteria. phosphates, nitrates, etc. The various mineral elements generally necessary for the plant are potassium, phos- phorus, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, and iron in small quantities. These, as well as other inessential elements, are the constituents that remain in the form of ash when the plant is burned in air. That each one of these ele- ments, as well as nitrogen, is necessary for the full development of the higher plant has been repeatedly demonstrated. For this demonstration seedlings are supported and grown in .jars containing culture solu- tions. One or more of the above elements may be left out in certain cases to be compared with one in which all are present, and it will then be found that growth and development will soon oe arrested where even one necessary element is entirely absent.
