Problems cf Growth' — There are several interesting problems concerning the growth of the bean seedling. Most of these questions we can solve with the aid of simple experiments. These experiments may bo allotted to different meml)ers of the class to perform at home and bring to school when the laboratory work of the bean seedling is finished and the pupils are ready for a discus- si of its growth. The following experiment should be started at once. Experiment. — What is the func- tion oj the cotyledons of the bean? Plant six beans in sawdust. After they have grown so that the hypo- cotyls are above the surface, re- move the cotyledons from three beans. Watch the growth of both lots very carefully, making sure that they are exposed to exactly the same conditions of heat, mois- ture, light, and air. After two weeks draw a bean from each lot. Of what use to the growing plant are the cotyledons? Why?^ 'mm.
