358 Report oF THE HorRTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF THE 
the percentage was again low, being only about fifty per ct., and 
many foreign seeds were intermixed. 
In a sample of another variety of clover germination was prac- 
tically complete up to 1.27, above which it was low. 
In the case of another sample of common clover there was no 
germination below 1.17 and only three below 1.20. From 1.20 
up germination was good but in the higher ranges the seeds 
proved to be mostly of a foreign leguminous species. These seeds 
were planted in a single row about two rods long. In Plate XVI 
are shown the range from 1.20 downward (Fig. 1), the plants 
from seed of specific gravity of 1.23 to 1.26 (Fig. 2), which were 
the best separates in the lot, and the separates from 1.27 up (Fig. 
3.) From 1.27 to 1.33 many plants of another smaller legumin- 
ous species are seen to be intermixed, and from 1.83 up they are 
seen to constitute almost the entire growth. 
CHAMPION OF ENGLAND PBAS. 
One hundred Champion of England peas were separated with 
the result shown in the table below. These separates were put 
under test at three o’clock, December 8, 1903. The first germina- 
tions were observed at eight o’clock on the morning of December 
11, sixty-six hours later. These germinations were noted and are 
separately recorded in the table. Other germinations occurred 
during the next forty-eight hours, but not later, although the test 
was continued for two days after the last germination was ob- 
served. The total verminations are also shown in the table.
