Even when it does not absolutely enter into the composition of a particular part or organ, it is always to be found in the fluids which pervade it. It follows from the facts thus far detailed, that the development of a plant requires the presence, first, of substances containing carbon and nitrogen, and capable of yielding these elements to the growing organism; secondly, of water...
