Bean embedded in damp sand in one edge with radicles just protruding vertically down for they had been suspended by big pins. They were so embedded that geotropism & Sachs' curvature wd both aid them in bending into Hole.

(Beans themselves themselves lifted up, with radicles much bowed & not one escaped out of Holes— This worth recording)
(2) Depth of Hole .15 12° 30' tip almost in Hole 4° 30' well in Hole
(3) depth of Hole 4° 30' well in Hole
