Abstract/Contents:Discusses the use of nitrate of soda and its possible benefits. Suggests that "the three most important elements of plant food are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash - and of these the one most usually lacking in the soil is nitrogen." States that there are many varieties of nitrogenous fertilizers, all of which are valuable as containing more or less nitrogen in some form or another, but nitrate of soda stands out by itself in...that it is the only one...in which the nitrogen is in the form of 'nitrates' and as such immediately 'available.'" Cautions that "sulphate of ammonia and lime should never be mixed." Concludes that "a complete artificial fertilizer rich in nitrogen is always the safest of the chemical manures to get in the habit of using in conjunction with stable and farmyard manure composts or humus."
