SEED STEBILIZATION. 



It is a common practice to treat with 

 an antiseptic solution, such as copper 

 sulphate or formalin, the seeds of cereals 

 and other plants, the seed coats of which 

 are suspected or known to be infected 

 with the spores of pathogenic organisms. 

 Unfortunately, the usual method of 

 treatment generally leads to a decrease 

 in the germinating capacity of the seed, 

 and also to irregularity of germina- 

 tion. H. Braun, of the laboratory of 

 plant pathology of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, has intro- 

 duced an improvement which it is 

 claimed increases the efiBcacy of the 

 method and produces no ill effects on 

 the germination of the seed. The im- 

 provement consists in a short prelimi-
