Remarks, 
———_——— —— 
These were carefully tried with 
Mays (from catacombs of 
Peru) in three pots, watered 
respectively with water, so- 
lution of nitrate of soda, and 
chlorine weak, but none ger- 
minated. 
Largest portion ger- 
minated after forty- 
four days; not yet 
ceased ? 
Probably more will 
come up.
