Yields of Seed -crops 



171 



* JL 



The yields of seeds (in Ibs.) which may be expected 

 from an acre, under good conditions, are given below : 



NOTE. There is no American work devoted to seeds and 

 seed-growing. Brill's "Farm-Gardening and Seed-Growing" 

 (Orange Judd Co.) contains brief " suggestions to seed -growers." 

 Because of the scanty literature, the foregoing chapter has been 

 made more extended than the nature of the book otherwise 

 would have allowed. The standard work on seeds is in German, 

 Nobbe's "Die Samenkunde," The seed- breeder will need the 

 information contained in Jager's "Erziehung der Pflanzen aus 

 Samen."
