Large numbers of seeds were used in most of these tests, and 
the conditions governing germination were varied to suit the re- 
quirements, in so far as they could be determined. It is to be 
noted that germination in most cases was low. Table IV gives 
details on most of these plants and on certain other miscellaneous 
drug plants. 
II 
Dealers in crude drugs will many times lend valuable assistance 
in searching for and supplying seeds and plants. Importers with 
foreign representatives and the foreign merchants themselves will 
sometimes request their agents and collectors to assist in such 
matters. No great diversity of forms, however, can be secured 
through these sources. They are restricted to those of which the 
seed constitutes the medicinal part, or to those in which the seeds 
are likely to appear with other plant parts. The forms thus 
obtainable are mostly included in the preceding list, though better 
seeds are sometimes furnished by the dealers upon special request 
for fresh material.
