Data pertaining to grozvth. The summary on page 231 pre- 

 sents the results of this study. 



General conclusion. The extracts failed to inhibit growth of 

 the seedlings. The observed acceleration of growth was probably 

 due to inorganic salts in the extracts. It is possible, of course, that 

 deleterious action by Cancer toxins was neutralized or overcome by 

 the stimulating power of associated nutrient substances. This par- 

 ticular poinit requires special investigation.
