Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1644 SBEDAGE SEEDAGE. 2297. One-half of door (in side view). a, a, hooks for holding thermometer: b, section even temperature is desired, as in bacteriological work. Fresh air or different gases can be forced into the chamber at one of the openings at the top (Fig. 229(), 0, c) and out at the bottom (Pig. 2296, f). Each of the openings at the end (Fig. 2296, f,g) is closed with a screw cap. The chamber is provided with three tin - lined copper pans, each having a narrow ledge around the inside near the top, which serve to hold copper rods with folds of cloth, if the ex- perimenter wishes to test seeds according to the Geneva pan method. The pans also serve to hold porous saucers or plates. The chamber when empty weighs about 100 pounds, and is therefore easily moved. The shelves will hold about 60 blotter tests, with an equal number of duplicates. It rests of groove in chamber into upon a detachable base oonsist- which fits c, projection on ing of a stout iron frame 15 in. door; d, d, door fastener, high, inclosed with a sheet-iron jacket. Other Forms of Germinating Apparatus. —The so- called "Geneva tester," invented at the Experiment Station at Geneva, N.

Over these rods {y, p) is hung a strip of cloth, arranged in folds, with each end of the strip hanging down into the water, which covers the bottom of the pan. The lower edges of the folds are sewed (as at o) to hold them in place. The seeds are placed be- tween these folds and are kept moist by capillary at- traction; no provision is made for regulating the tem- perature, t
