Book excerpt: Excerpt from Market Gardeners Price List, 1931 Nitrogen, referred to as Ammonia, is directly assoc1ated with the formation of leaves and stems in plants, promoting a quick and vigorous growth which is accompanied by a deep, rich green color of foliage - a sign of health and activity. Phosphorus, known as Acid Phosphate or Phosphoric Acid, hastens germination and favors rapid development of young seedlings, increasing the root growth, thus giving the young plant a good start. The formation of grain and fruit begins sooner when applications of soluble phosphorus are freely made. Phosphorus fills out the grain and fruit, increasing the propor tion of grain to straw. Potassium, commonly called potash, has a marked influence upon the development of leaves and stems. When potash is lack ing, stems are apt to be weak and brittle. Potash enables the plant to produce sugar and starch, and helps to plump and fill the grain. It is also necessary in developing the fleshy parts of ruit.
