| + | distribution, | ||
| + | taxonomy, an endless Latin dirge**, in which progress is measured more | ||
| + | by the number of corpses cataloged than by the number of blossoms | ||

| + | **The pollen of most plants has a highly inflammable character**; | ||
| + | thrown on a red-hot surface it will ignite as quickly as gunpowder. | ||
| + | Artificial lightning was formerly produced on the theatrical stage by | ||
| + | throwing the pollen grains of the Lycopodium or club mosses onto a hot | ||
| + | shovel. In many plants the pollen diffuses an odor bearing the most | ||
| + | striking resemblance to the seminal emission of animals and man. | ||
| + | The spermatozoa of certain mosses carried in the morning dew in search of females, is guided by its taste for malic acid toward the delicate cups at the bottom of | ||
| + | which lie moss eggs to be fertilized. **The spermatozoa of ferns**, on the | ||
| + | other hand, liking sugar, **find their females in pools of sweetened water**. Pg 107 | ||

| + | ---For years Goethe had been distressed by the limitations involved in a merely analytical and | ||
| + | intellectual approach to the plant world, typified by **the cataloging mind | ||
| + | of the eighteenth century**, and of a theory of physics, then triumphant, | ||
| + | which submitted the world to blind laws of mechanics, to a "jeu de | ||
| + | rouages et de ressorts sans vie." | ||

| + | began wondering whether sound, properly prescribed, could spur field crops to greater yields. From 1960 to 1963 he piped the " | ||
| + | speaker to paddy rice growing in | ||
| + | the fields** of seven villages on the Bay of Bengal, and got harvests ranging consistently from | ||
| + | 25 to 60 percent higher than the regional average. He also was able | ||
| + | musically to provoke peanuts and chewing tobacco into producing nearly | ||
| + | 50 percent more than normal. Singh further reported that merely by | ||
| + | dancing the " | ||
| + | out musical accompaniment and executed by **girls without trinkets on their ankles, the growth of Michaelmas daisies, marigolds, and petunias | ||
| + | was very much accelerated**, | ||
| + | night earlier than controls, presumably because of the rhythm of the | ||
| + | footwork transmitted through the earth. | ||
| + | |||
| + | --- | ||
| + | In the mid-1960s two researchers at Canada' | ||
| + | Measures and Pearl Weinberger were conversant that ultrasonic frequencies markedly affect the germination and growth of | ||
| + | barley, sunflower, spruce, Jack pine, Siberian pea tree, and other seeds | ||
| + | and seedlings However, the very | ||
| + | frequencies which stimulated some plant species inhibited others. They wondered whether specific audible frequencies in | ||
| + | the sonic range would be as effective as music in enhancing the growth | ||
| + | of wheat. | ||
| + | In a series of experiments lasting more than four years, the two | ||
| + | biologists exposed the grains and seedlings of spring Marquis and winter | ||
| + | Rideau wheat to high-frequency vibrations. They found that, depending | ||
| + | on how long the wheat seeds had been vernalized, **the plants responded | ||
| + | best to a frequency of 5,000 cycles a second**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---1973 Dr. Weinberger said **basic farm equipment of the future will include an oscillator** for production | ||
| + | of sound waves and a speaker." | ||
| + | they discovered that experimental " | ||
| + | away from a 727 jet plane** about to take off, caused turnips to sprout much faster than those left silently in the ground. Pg 152 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Allotting one chamber for a control group, Mrs. Dorothy Retallack, a Danish professional organist and mezzo soprano in 1968 used the | ||
| + | same plants, as in the first experiment, | ||
| + | setting them in identical soil and affording them equal amounts of water | ||
| + | on schedule. Trying to pinpoint the musical note most conducive to | ||
| + | survival, each day she tried an **F note, played unremittingly for eight | ||
| + | hours in one chamber** and three hours intermittently in another. In the | ||
| + | first chamber her plants were **stone dead within two weeks**. In the | ||
| + | second chamber, the plants were much healthier than controls left in | ||
| + | silence. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---The cucurbits were hardly indifferent to the two musical forms: those | ||
| + | exposed to Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, and other eighteenth- | ||
| + | and nineteenth-century European scores g**rew toward the transistor | ||
| + | radio**, one of them even twining itself lovingly around it. The other | ||
| + | squashes grew away from the rock broadcasts and even tried to climb | ||
| + | the slippery walls of their glass cage. Pg 154 | ||
| + | The plants gave positive evidence of **liking Bach, since they leaned | ||
| + | an unprecedented thirty-five degrees toward the preludes**. But even this | ||
| + | affirmation was far exceeded by their reaction to Shankar: in their | ||
| + | straining to reach the source of the classical Indian music they bent | ||
| + | more than halfway to the horizontal, at angles in excess of sixty degrees, | ||
| + | **the nearest one almost embracing the speaker**. | ||

| + | continually being **affected by wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum**, from earth, moon, planets, cosmos and from a proliferation of | ||
| + | man-made devices; only it remains to be established exactly which are | ||
| + | beneficial and which are harmful. Pg 163 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---1747, Jean Antoine Nollet, a French abbot and physics tutor, was informed by a German physicist in Wittenberg that | ||
| + | water, which normally issued drop by drop from a capillary tube, would | ||
| + | run out in a constant stream if the tube was electrified. Nollet put several plants in metallic pots next to a conductor and was intrigued to note that the rate of their transpiration | ||
| + | increased. In a long series of experiments, | ||
| + | only daffodils but sparrows, pigeons, and cats** and found they **lost weight | ||
| + | faster if electrified**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Italian physicist, Giuseppe Toaldo reported that in a row of jasmine bushes the two which were next to a lightning conductor grew thirty feet tall whereas all the | ||
| + | others attained only four feet. Pg 168 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Bertholon, | ||
| + | an electrified watering can. He reported that his salads grew to an | ||
| + | extraordinary size. He also invented what he called an **" | ||
| + | it through plants growing in a field. "This instrument is | ||
| + | applicable to all kinds of vegetal production, everywhere, in all weather.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | --As it had been known that sharp points | ||
| + | were especially attractive to atmospheric electricity, | ||
| + | that "**the sharp points of plants acted like lightning rods to collect | ||
| + | atmospheric electricity** and facilitate the exchange of charges of the air | ||
| + | and the ground." | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ---London Journal of the Horticultural Society published the " | ||
| + | garden plots, and, tried burying them under the soil. But of | ||
| + | Solly' | ||
| + | only nineteen were of any benefit, and nearly as many were harmful. | ||
| + | The conflicting results of these researchers made it obvious that the | ||
| + | amount, quality, and duration of electrical stimulation was of crucial | ||
| + | importance to each form of vegetal life. Pg 174 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Lemstrom connected a series of flowers in metal pots to a static generator by an overhead network of wires sixteen inches above them and a | ||
| + | pole set into the soil as a ground. Other pots he "left to nature." | ||
| + | eight weeks, the electrified plants, showed gains in weight of nearly 50 | ||
| + | percent over their electrically deprived neighbors. When he transferred | ||
| + | his apparatus into a garden he not only more than doubled the yield of | ||
| + | strawberries but found them to be much sweeter; his harvest from barley | ||
| + | plants increased by one-third. He reported | ||

| + | |||
| + | --- engineers, unlike | ||
| + | researchers in pure science, are less concerned with why or how something works than with whether it will work. This attitude can free them | ||
| + | from the shackles of theory, which in the history of science has often | ||
| + | caused pedants to disregard the brilliant new findings of geniuses be- | ||
| + | cause there was no theoretical basis to support them. pg 178 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Dr. George Starr White, pubished // | ||
| + | plant growth if bright pieces were dangled from fruit trees.Where Hay attached metallic **Christmas tree | ||
| + | balls to tomato plants**, they would bear their fruits earlier than normal. pg 180 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---electronic engineer James Lee Scribner believes that: it is the electron that is responsible before the photosynthesis can take | ||
| + | place, for it is the electron that magnetizes the chlorophyll in the plant | ||
| + | cell that makes it possible for the photon to assert itself and become a | ||
| + | part of the plant in the form of solar energy. It is also this magnetism that | ||
| + | draws the molecules of oxygen into the ever expanding chlorophyll cells | ||
| + | of the plant, and so we must assume that moisture is in no way integrated into the plant through any absorption process whatsoever, for the integration of moisture is purely an electronic one. The so-called root pressure | ||
| + | (moisture droplets) appearing on plant surfaces is not root pressure at all, | ||
| + | but an abundance of electrons working with the rather excessive water | ||
| + | energy in the bed. pg 181 | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ---Because, of all living things, they seemed the most enduring and the | ||
| + | least moble, Burr charted the life fields of trees over nearly two decades. | ||
| + | He found that recordings related not only to the lunar cycle and to | ||
| + | sunspots, whIch flare up at intervals with many years between them, but | ||
| + | revealed cycles recurring every three and six months that were beyond | ||
| + | his explanabon. His conclusions seemed to make less suspect the long- | ||
| + | mocked practices of generations of gardeners who claimed that their | ||
| + | **crops** should be **planted according to the phases of the moon**.pg 197 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---To try to establish the cosmic origin of energy, Lakhovsky decided | ||
| + | to dispense with his device to produce artificial rays | ||
| + | and tap natural energy from space. In January, 1925, he picked one of | ||
| + | a series of geraniums previously inoculated with cancer and surrounded | ||
| + | it with a circular copper spiral thirty centimeters in diameter, its two | ||
| + | unjoined ends fixed in an ebonite support. After several weeks he found | ||
| + | that whereas all the control geraniums inoculated with cancer had died | ||
| + | and dried up, the plant ringed with the copper spiral was not only | ||
| + | radiantly healthy but had grown twice as high as uninoculated controls. | ||
| + | These spectacular results led Lakhovsky into a complex theory as to how the geranium had been able to pick up from the vast field of waves | ||
| + | in the external atmosphere the **exact frequencies which enabled its cells | ||
| + | to oscillate normally and so powerfully that the cancer-afflicted cells | ||
| + | were destroyed.** pg 185 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---Other first and second colonies of cells, separated by the quartz glass, | ||
| + | both perished when only the first colony was murdered with chemical | ||
| + | poisons or lethal radiation and the second left unexposed. What killed | ||
| + | the second colony in each case? | ||
| + | Since **ordinary glass does not permit ultraviolet rays to pass but quartz | ||
| + | glass does**, it seemed to the Soviet scientists that here was a key to the | ||
| + | mystery. They recalled that **Gurwitsch had theorized that onion cells | ||
| + | could emit ultraviolet rays**, and they resurrected his ideas from the limbo | ||
| + | to which they had been consigned in the 1930s. They found that when life processes in the tissue cultures remained | ||
| + | //normal//, the ultraviolet glow, invisible to the human eye but detectable | ||
| + | as oscillations on the tape, remained stable. As soon as the affected | ||
| + | colony began to battle against its infection, the radiation intensified. | ||
| + | Reports on this work in Moscow newspapers disclosed that, however | ||
| + | fantastic it might seem, the **ultraviolet radiation from the afflicted cells | ||
| + | //carried information// | ||
| + | somehow received by the second colony**. | ||
| + | Since the second colony seemed in each case to die in exactly the same | ||
| + | way as the first, the Soviets realized that it was as dangerous for healthy | ||
| + | cells to be exposed to the transmitted signal of dying cells as it was for | ||
| + | them to be exposed to viruses, poisons, and lethal radiation. It appeared | ||
| + | that the second colony upon receiving the alarm signal from the dying | ||
| + | first colony began to mobilize for resistance and its very " | ||
| + | it had indeed been attacked. pg 189-199 | ||
