The results showed that at least some seeds of this species are capable t)f germination after retention in the cones for ten years, and experi- ments conducted in the seed laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture demonstrated that seeds of this same pine 30 years of age were still capable of germination. All investigators are agreed that the viability of ordinary dried seeds is un- affected by exposure to extreme cold. What was regarded as a most remark- able fact at the time was the finding in January, 1899, by some members of the Peary arctic expedition, of seeds aban- doned by Lieutenant Greely eighteen years before, which during this period had been exposed to a winter tem- perature of from 60 to 70 degrees below 2sero.
