3 seedlings one tall & 2 short with upper half painted with white spermaceti quite upright: 2 seedlings, one very short & one tall with black spermaceti, both quite upright. Therefore every experiment with grease useless.
N.B. Some Phalaris seedlings & Tomatoes in Hothouse had been painted with thick Indian ink, & the younger Tomatoes & younger Phalaris thus killed. The older Phalaris grow distorted like effects of gum.
