One Hundred Experiments In Elementary Agriculture For California Schools Classic Reprint

Excerpt from One Hundred Experiments in Elementary Agriculture for California Schools The cultivation of plants to which the three above named classes of people devote so much of their time is in large part only the supplying of the wants of the plants. In order intelligently to do this one should know what these wants are and of all the various ways in which they may be supplied which ways are best. It is the purpose of the experiments in this pamphlet to reveal to the pupil the needs of the plant, allowing the plant to speak for itself; further, to show various ways of supplying these needs and among these to point out those which are best. We shall be able best to see the needs of plants by examining them to see what they as a rule contain, and whatever substances they as a whole contain must, we then conclude, be necessary to their growth and the plant must have sup plied to it either these same substances or others out of which it can make them.
