Ever since the work of Bottomley on the stimulating effect of extracts of bacterized peat on the growth of green plants, there has been some interest in the possibility that green plants may require an outside source of specific organic material. The preponderance of opinion (1, 2, 6) seems to favor the idea that, while stimulating effects may exist, the green plant is able to grow without any such outside stimulus and hence is independent in accordance with the classical view.
