Little, if any, effect, on the vigor of the plants appears to be 
attributable to specific gravity. Size of seed is, however, seen 
to be very important. 
SWEDISH TURNIPS. 
The seed used in this test was low in percentage of germina- 
tion. The plants grew as they came up in the row and did not 
need thinning.
