Oct 12. Pelargonium & Primula sinensis leaves not acid by my Litmus paper. Fibrin not acid.

Primula 8˚ 50' drop of infusion on leaf with wine

9˚. Albumen & Fibrin on both leav leaves of both plants

9˚. 5' Pelargonium stitched thread a good deal of weak infusion of meat.—

Oct 13th /73/ Primula sinensis.

damp Litmus left on leaf for 24˚ did not cause any acid secretion — left large drop of weak infusion of raw meat for 24˚ on leaf & then examined hairs on und upper & under side, & on another leaf on which water alone had been placed, & I could detect no difference in contents of cells of long or short hairs — there were hyaline & motionless little spheres in most of cells in all the specimens — Leaves good & growing.
