The horn silica preparation unfolds its efficacy above the earth, in the shoot and leaf region. Here, in the "belly" of the agricultural individuality, intense metabolic activity prevails in exchange with air, warmth and light (Figure 25, p. 350). In this reciprocal relationship of the peripheral forces on the one hand and the ascending and descending plant saps on the other, the horn silica preparation works harmonisingly. It is in this sense a "metabolic fertiliser" for the plant. It has taken up this fertilising force during the resting of the horns in the summer earth, in the time when these summer metabolic forces are at their most intensely active. The crystalline, sense-active quartz — a representative of the winter earth — has transformed itself, in the course of the emancipation steps described, into a metabolically active summer forces fertiliser. With its help we can once again individualize the great macrocosmic rhythm of the course of the year at will toward the culture we happen to be growing. It opens the plant toward its environment and equally toward its type, its spiritual archetype. This comes to expression both more distinctly in the outward appearance of the plant — for instance in the articulation of the leaves, in the leaf metamorphosis — and in the composition of substances in all the stages of vitalization, of growth, and of devitalization, of flowering, of ripeness and of seed formation. In interplay with the horn manure preparation it harmonizes the processes of fruit formation, ensures, as experimental
