The atmospheres of the giant stars of the spectral class KO III belonging to the Hyades cluster, NGC 752, M 25, and UMa, are investigated with emphasis placed on differences in the abundances of chemical elements. A modified method of differential curves of growth for determining the actual abundances of chemical elements is presented. The characteristic abundances of stars belonging to different open clusters are found to be the same within the limits of the measurement errors, and close to the abundances in the solar atmosphere. An excess of heavy elements of the iron group in the atmospheres of the stars N 213 and HD 170820 is examined. Values of the degree of ionization are estimated using model atmospheres and effective depths of formation of atomic absorption lines.
