(Conclusion)

Feb 20th 18 Radicles of Yorkshire Hero Peas  with little sqr of sand-paper shell-lacced at 4 mm to one side of apex— fixed laterally so as to avoid Sachs' curvature — germinated in Peat Peat, not but badly— very many grow monstrous,— Excluding

Pinned over water on Study Table in dark.

Excluding 3 which grew monstrous 11. were thus tried & of them 4 were not acted on & 7 became bowed to side on which card was fixed— slightly in course of 5°. 45' & m more plainly after 14 hr— 2 of the radicles were bent, so that terminal portion was 41° from the perpendicular downwards & one as much as 62°. It was highly remarkable that no transmitted effect, curvature could be seen, curvature being confined to spot where bit of card affixed—

Very valuable the contrast with effects of same kind & size of card similarly fixed to one side of apex.

It is strange that bits of card were fixed either at same time Feb. 20th or subsequently to tips of 7 radicles & not one in the least affected — fixed on tip & side of on 2 no effect.—

As I have said germinated badly—
