in«^ the vitalit}' of the .seed stored in the greenhouse at Ann Arbor and 

 under trade conditions at Mobile. It will be readilj' seen that the 

 vittility of the seed from the unprotected packages was greatly- reduced, 

 while those from the paraffined envelopes and from the bottles germi- 

 nated nearly as wqW as the controls. These ditierences are better rep- 

 resented diagrannnatically, as follows:

described. 



Diagram representing the pjercenlages of germination of onion seed when treated as described. 



The percentages for Ann Arbor shown in the graphic representations 

 are not the same as those given in the foregoing table. In the diagram 

 they are directly comparable with the results from the Mobile series,
