Abstract
THE horticultural world has been interested for some years in Prof. Bottomley's attempt to prepare a new fertiliser from peat. The reasons for that interest are manifest: farmyard manure is constantly increasing in price and decreasing in amount; and artificial fertilisers, excellent auxiliaries though they be, cannot impart to the soil those physical properties without which plants do not thrive.
