[57-59]

(Ap 15th 10º. 30 pressed a slip of glass against a descending radicle but it often moved away However (To test Sachs) 16th 4º 30' P.m decidedly curved with upper part over glass—) made a thin bit of glass press again higher up.

Sensitiveness of radicle, not tip.

(Ap. 16th 5º P.m. I find 2 of the radicals with caps of Gypsum, oddly contorted, though of course there has been no resistance to growth.
