Topic: For fun: what is this uranium glass thingy for?

Looked at the old thread and know now (not then) that Wuidart and Co Ltd advertised them in 1956.
So not as old as suspected.

P.S. Max, I heard you already are getting results?

I was lucky enough to find an acorn with a 1cm sprout in the garden.  :hiclp:  But....erm...I've just realised that I've had it upside down in the acorn sprouter...ooops!  I thought the sprout was a root!  Oh deary me.  I hope it survives, it's gone a bit slimy though!  Poor Arnold Acorn!

Max, the sprout IS the root.....

According to this pic the acorn will figure it out whichever way you put it in the vase

You're not the only one Max!  

Still, it softened it up nicely!  :clap:

 :24:  Ok...I'll turn up the other way again.  I'll let you know how it progresses!

If the root is already showing that's very encouraging, I think.

I have to have a go! I've gotten crocus and tulip bulbs to root in water for the first time this year so an acorn is the next challenge.
