sldorablo timi_' aftt-rwards. This hint was suf- 

 ficifnt to start me on a long series of experi- 

 ments, having for their object the safe elimina- 

 tion of the excess of moistnrc which all seeds 

 contain as harvested in the English climate, 

 however dry they appear when handled. This 

 moisture has heen a canse of very great trouble 

 when English seeds, packed in hermetically 

 sealed boxes, passed through the tropics, where 

 the heat in the ship's hold caused the seeds to 

 ■ sweat and become moldy. 



Naturally. I found there was a very great 

 diversity in the amount of such moisture con- 

 tained in the diflferent varieties of seeds, and 

 that, while s<.>me seeds could safely lose an 

 amount of moisture equal to 10 per cent of 

 their weight, others could not part with more 

 than 5 per cent without injury; consequently, 

 the degree of dry heat to which seeds could be 

 safely exposed, and the proper duration of such 

 exposure before packing, varied very much, 

 while some seeds required much more gradual 

 desication than others. But before the experi- 

 ments were completed, knowledge on these de- 

 tails was acquired, with the result that there 

 seems hardly any limit to the period during 

 which the germination of seeds may be con- 

 served if they are properly prepared by drying 

 In a suitable high temperature and hermetically 

 sealed in that temperature. 



For many years past seeds thns packed by my 

 firm have been successfully used in all climates.
