About this book
The discussion of plant nourishment describes minute mouths at the ends of roots that absorb fluids containing nutriment. The text says plants under favorable circumstances may obtain about one-third of their carbon through fluids taken into circulation. The account places the decomposition of carbonic acid in the green parts of plants and restricts that process to the influence of daylight.
The discussion of practical manuring proposes that the best rule is probably to strengthen the soil's weaker points and prevent its stronger ones from weakening. The treatment of manures includes those that make matter already contained in the soil available. The text states that pure silica cannot be dissolved and therefore cannot be used by plants.
