Effect of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) on the Growth of Plants

Abstract

REFERRING to the letter from Miss Synnöve v. Hausen¹, I gladly acknowledge the priority of her paper, the existence of which was unknown to me when publishing mine on the same subject. Such coincidences are frequent in research work. More important, however, than similar questions of priority is the fact that our experiments have resulted, in a new field of research, in mutual confirmation, although worked out independently and with different methods.
