Abstract
THIS little book is intended to be an introduction to agricultural chemistry. It contains descriptions of a series of simple experiments which may be undertaken without any previous knowledge of chemistry. These experiments illustrate the part played by water in the nutrition of plants, the nature of the soil and of the air, and how plants obtain their food from these sources, &c.
