*The radicle of the variety on which we experimented, called "Johnsons wonderful," (a large flat bean, but not so large as the "Windsor") did not seem nearly quite so liable to Sachs' curvature, as the kind experimented on by Sachs himself.— Moreover it appeared to us that the radicles were much less liable to this peculiar curvature when growing under a temp. of from 55° to 60° F, than under a higher temperature; but no precise observations were made on this latter point.
