The above engraving is copied from photographs oF Buckwheat plants, grown with the roots immersed in jars containing various solutions of the ingredients of plant-food in water. The plants were supported by perforated corks restinsr on the covers of the jirs, and by upright sticks. In jars I. and La was a normal solution, that is, a solution containing all the essential ingredients of plant-food, including potassium as chloride. The solution in II. was the same as the normal solution in I. and , except that potassium was omitted in the jar II. The jar commenced as II., that is, without potassium, but potassium chloride was afterwards added. VI. contained the normal solution, except t>iat sodium was substituted for potassium. IX , X., XL, and III., same as I., except that IX. contained no lime, X. no chlorine, and XI. no nitrogen, and III. had nitrate instead of chloride of potassium. There seems no reason, moreover, why "beauty and usefulness should not go hand in hand, and why the florist, as well as the gardener, should not seek for aid from sewage.
