Figure 5, from a photograph, ilhistrates another test with .seeds, in whicli the differences were more marked than in the above Fig. 5—Radish. Light Seeds. Heavy Seeds. It is often true that over-ripe .seeds germinate more slowly, and give lower total results than others, and this over-ripeness is some- times indicated by additional weight. It is to be expected, there- fore, that in some instances best results in germination come from the seeds of lighter weight. the two following tests are instances in point; 47. Bean, Improved Green Flageolet.—Department of Agricul- ture. 25 selected white beans in seed-pans, % inch deep in sand. No. I, heavy seeds, ( grains). No. 2, light seeds, (2 grains). * In selecting the samples, it is advisable to choose only such seeds as re- present nearly the extremes of weight. By thus discarding the intermedi- ate weights, the results become more marked, and give more accurate measures of the relative values of heavy and light Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cornell University.
