George Horace Lorimer was editor of the Saturday Evening Post from 1899 to Dec. 31, 1936.

In 1934 the Utrecht researchers followed with Auxin B and heteroauxin. Heteroauxin has the astonishing effect of making roots sprout from the stem in shaggy masses like beards. It also produces elongation and swelling in stems, stimulates normal root formation, inhibits buds...
