This table brings out anew the fact that the percentage of ger- 
mination among very small seeds is low; also that such seeds as 
do germinate produce small plants. As regards the difference 
between reddish and black seeds, both of medium size, it would 
appear that plants from the black seeds are a little earlier than 
those from the reddish seeds, since more of the plants from the 
black seeds were ready for harvesting in August.- In the case 
of the large red seeds the percentage of germination was low. 
Whether this was due to chance or not the writer cannot say.
