 Ov repreaentatives will be calling on yea. 



not shed their seeds until the tree or 

 branch that bears them dies. In 1874 

 Dr. Engelmann collected a branch of 

 P. contorta from Colorado and, after 

 keeping it in St. Louis for four and one- 

 half years, he sent it to Professor Sar- 

 gent, of the Arnold Arboretum, to test 

 the seeds. The results showed that at 

 least some seeds of this species are 

 capable t)f germination after retention 

 in the cones for ten years, and experi- 

 ments conducted in the seed laboratory 

 of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture demonstrated that seeds of 

 this same pine 30 years of age were still 

 capable of germination. 



All investigators are agreed that the 

 viability of ordinary dried seeds is un- 

 affected by exposure to extreme cold. 

 What was regarded as a most remark- 

 able fact at the time was the finding in 

 January, 1899, by some members of the 

 Peary arctic expedition, of seeds aban- 

 doned by Lieutenant Greely eighteen 

 years before, which during this period 

 had been exposed to a winter tem- 

 perature of from 60 to 70 degrees below 

 2sero. Twenty-three years after these 

 seeds were harvested some of them 

 germinated, and this demonstration of 

 the ability of seed to withstand low 

 temperature was then cited as one 

 which would not likely be repeated.
