ANOTHER WAY TO GROW PLANTS UNDER COLORS We have each brought a shoe box to school, and yesterday we cut off one end of the box, and taped the lids on. We will punch holes in the sides of the boxes so there will be air circulation. The next thing to do is to put our young bean plants into the shoe boxes. We won't take the beans out of their pots; just put the pots into the boxes, being very careful not to break the stems of the bean plants. The boxes will be standing on their closed ends, so that the bean stems will have room to grow toward the open, top ends of the boxes. We have squares of several different colors of cellophane gift wrap. Each of you may take one square, and tape it to the open end of the box. When the plants need water, we can put it onto the potting soil inside by removing the cellophane long enough to pour in the water. Each of us will put the same amount of water onto our plants, so all conditions will be the same, except for the colors ofd cellophane. Be sure to pour the water in very slowly and gently, so as not to make a ditch in the potting soil. While the cellophane is off, carefully stick your rulers down so one end just touches the top of the soil, and measure the length of your plant's stem. It is important to keep accurate notes, so write the date that you measure, and the length of your plant next to the date. When the plants get to the tops of the boxes, we will take out the plants, and compare them as to color of leaves and stems, length of stems, and size of leaves, and decide which color or colors are best for growth.
