Excerpt from Results of Experiments at Rothamsted, the Growth of Leguminous Crops, for Many Years in Succession on the Same Land, Vol. 4: Being (With Additions) A Lecture Delivered November, 1, 1889, at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester The subject of my lecture to-day is - the conditions, and the results of growth, of Leguminous Crops; and, as on former occasions, I propose to draw my illustrations largely from the results of field experiments, and other investigations, conducted at Rothamsted. In former lectures I have, in a similar way, considered the conditions and the results of growth - of Wheat, and of Barley, as representatives of the great gramineous family; of some varieties of Turnips, representing the Cruciferæ; of some varieties of Beet, representing the Chenopodiaceæ; and of Potatoes, of the Solaneæ. It was found that, within certain limits, the requirements, and the results of growth, of different members of one and the same family, showed certain characteristics in common; whilst those of different families showed more or less of distinctive character. Nevertheless, there are some important points of similarity, as well as of contrast, between the requirements of the agricultural representatives of the Gramineæ, the Cruciferoe, the Chenopodiaceoe, and the Solaneoe. It will be seen, however, that the agricultural representatives of the Leguminosæ, all of which are included in the sub-order Papilionaceoe, and some of which are of much importance in our agriculture, show very marked differences, as compared with those of any of the other families I have enumerated. It so happens that, both the scientific interest, and the practical value, of these crops, whether as elements in rotation, or as grown in the mixed herbage of grass-land, depend very largely on the amount of nitrogen which they contain, and on the sources of their nitrogen; and especially on the great differences in these respects, between them, and the representatives of the other families with which they are grown, either in alternation in our rotations, or in association in our meadows and pastures. So much is this the case, that it is essential to a proper understanding and appreciation, of the characteristics of growth of these crops, and for the illustration of their value and importance as depending on those characteristics, to compare and to contrast the conditions and results of their growth, with those of the crops of other families.
