To enable these changes to be effected, or, in other words, to enable the seed to germinate or . sprout, there must be a certain degree of warmth in the soil, ami to this point, for the present, we must confine ourselves. If we except the snow mushroom {Uredo nivalis), we know of no plant, certainly of no cultivated plant, the seed of which «ill sprout, either lielow or at the temperature at which water freezes. A temperature above 32° of Fahrenheit's thermometer, tliereforc, is requisite. Hut, on the other hand, the temperature must not be excessively high. Even no tropical seed, probably, will germinate at a temperature much above \2\'f \ and we know, from the experiments of Edwards and Colin, that neither wheat, oats, nor barley, will vegetate in a tem- perature so high as 113°.
