Plant other seeds that are about your home. The Silver Tree has large seeds which germinate readily. Arum " lily " seeds may be compared with those of Hunnautiius. Apono- getoii seeds may be found soon after flowering. Notice how little the radicle develops. A stem soon appears at one side of the cotyledon which bears roots below and leaves above. Kafir corn may be germinated with Indian corn. In studying germination, take plenty of time to make simple drawings of each plant. Drawings should be made to show the plumule unfolded. In the seeds we have studied the cotyledons have their special work to do. The cotyledons of the broad bean simply yield up their food to the growing plant. In Zea mays the cotyledon not only gives up its own store, but absorbs and passes on the food in the endosperm. A third form is found in the date seed, where only the tip.
