Abies balsamea is, as far as I know, the only species of Abies 

 that preserves its germinating capacity till the spring of the second

 from the native home of these species in America. 



CHAM^CYPARIS LAWSONIANA. In this case also, seed har- 

 vested in Danmark is better, larger sized and of higher germ- 

 inating capacity than that from its native home or from South 

 and Central Europe. The best and worst germination results were 

 as follows:
