Abstract
IN a previous communication1, I have given an account of a phytocarcinogenic effect of oestrus hormone on tomato plants. In a similar preliminary experiment using the same technique2 with tomato plants, about 55 cm. high, the effect of ascorbic acid upon plant-tumour production has been investigated.
