SEED SOWING. 



"Writers and teachers have so persis- 

 tently advised the practice of covering 

 all seeds to the exclusion of light, ' ' says 

 a contributor to the Gardeners' Chroni- 

 cle, "that it has with many become as 

 much a matter of course to do this as to 

 provide crocks for drainage. Were grow- 

 ers to make the simple experiment of 

 sowing two batches of any sample of 

 seed, affording the same treatment to 

 each, except that one shall be darkened 

 and the other left exposed, I am confi- 

 dent it would soon be seen that the prac- 

 tice of darkening has nothing to recom- 

 mend it. 



/ "Dr. Pouchet, in his interesting book, 

 /The Universe, says: 'Following Ingen- 

 houz and Sennebier, men have long 

 taught that light was opposed to germi- 

 nation. This is an error, as Saussure 

 noticed. Nevertheless, all the colored 

 rays of light are not favorable to it; 

 the chemical and the calorific rays have 

 an opposite action upon this phenom- 

 enon. The former, which are the blue 

 and violet rays, clearly increase its ac- 

 tivity; the latter, the red and yellow 

 rays, are hurtful to it. 



" *It would appear from this that if, 

 instead of totally excluding light, we 

 could exclude the calorific rays only, ger- 

 mination would be appreciably hastened, 

 and if that be the case, it would surely 

 be good policy to place seeds of such 

 plants as are difllcult and slow of germi- 

 nation under handlights of blue-stained 

 glass. ' 



"The same authority (Pouchet) says: 

 ' If we pass an electric current beneath a 

 sown surface, the seed develops much 

 more quickly than in a part which has 

 not been submitted to electricity.' One 

 wonders whether such treatment would 

 tend to impair the constitution of the 

 young seedlings; if not, it would prob- 

 ably be a useful method to adopt when 

 handling seeds of such subjects as are 

 stubborn and difficult to start, 



"The greatest difficulty to contend 

 with when seeds are fully exposed arises 

 from the necessity for repeated water- 

 ing. Not only is this a question of labor, 

 but a necessity which involves dangers 

 such as washing out, souring soil, rot- 

 ting of seeds, and facilitating the 

 growth of moss and fungus on the sur- 

 face of the soil which so often spells 

 disaster. If, however, care is taken in 

 the choice of composts and of situation 

 for the seeds, the necessity for constant 

 watering may be minimised. Too high a 

 temperature is frequently the primary 

 cause of failure in raising seedlings."
