Final Report

Jun 13th 7° 50' a.m— The 1 additional long root, mentioned before has now tip turned up from gravity at right angles; 2 are perpendicularly down from card which never occur naturally & I believe card has acted. On this plant 5 others on which cards have not acted & of these 1 has tip turned to card

On The other plant 2 bowed up vertically from gravity— 3 others somewhat deflected to one side from card; 3 others per apparently slightly so & 4 not affected— I conclude certainly some effect
