The latter are unusu-ally strongly developed, a character which maybe found to be subject to variation. The Sterilisation of Grass Experiments on the effects of antiseptics ongrass seed led Schroder lo conclude that sostrong a solution as 5 per cent, silver nitrate pro-duced no ill effect on germination, and hesuggested, therefore, that silver nitrate wouldprove to be a valuable agent for sterilising thecoats of grass seed. More recent experimentsby Birckner (Biol.
