There were very numerous root- lets in I and II, while none in III. On July 25, it could be clearl}' noticed that in solution III, the leaves developed were very small and of pale green color. On August 8, these small leaves had withered \\hile those developed in the other two solutions appeared healthy and of dark green color, but it was further noticeable that the leaves in I were darker green and smaller than those in solution II. Further, while no rootlet were developed in solution III. numerous rootlets had appeared in I and II.
