Growing Plants in Water.

From the Boston Advertiser: l.,
would surprise a Massachusetts farm7
er 20 see a healthy, prolific stalk of InJ
dian corn growing from a vessel of
clear water, but such a spectacle is now
often presented at the Harvard botan-
ical gardens. For years Professor
Goodale has been experimenting with
different plants and different chemical
substances to determine just what
part they play in the necessary u
ishment Of plant life, and it Is a re-
suit of these experiments that plant
growths can be made to flourish with
their roots entirely submerged in wa
ter, without the least particle OF soil.
OF course, this knowledge cannot yet
be applied to commercial purposes di-y
rectly, but it is applied indirectly by
the farmer who learns what chemical
agents are valuable as fertilizers or
stimulants to plant life.
Indian corn has been mentioned as an
Illustration because 1t has been the
most conspicuous, but there are innum-
cradle vegetables n wen shrubs and
trees which thrive in water which has
4 deposit of certain chemical sub
stances, such as chloride of potash, sui
phate Of magnesia, phosphate Of iron.
phosphate Of potassium and some of
the nitrates. With the use Of these it
has often been found that a plant will
grow. ven though the water in which
is roots rest may be partly frozen.
The chemical elements are just as act
we, and the growth Shoots upward In
