PROPAGATING CONIFERS. 



137 



It should be stated that the weights of many coniferous 

 tree seeds vary greatly according to the age of the specimen 

 and situation in which it is growing. In compiling the above 

 table, three lots of seeds of several species, collected from 

 different trees, were weighed, and the averages are recorded. 

 Newly collected seeds were invariably used in compiling the 

 table.
