SEED SAVING. 



Much might be written on this sub- 

 ject. I cannot believe that localities 

 have any particular influence, but more 

 depends upon the system of saving and 

 ripening seeds, says a contributor to 

 the Horticultural Advertiser. As an 

 instance I may mention mignonette 

 seed. When I grew it in large quan- 

 tities, I found it best to Keep each sav- 

 ing of seed separate, for when several 

 ditferent lots were put together the 

 seed did not genninate so evenly; and 

 once, when wanting some to sow. I 

 had to use some which had not long 

 been collected, with the result that it 

 was very slow to germinate, and came 

 up unevenly. This is contrary to the 

 general rule, as immature seeds usually 

 germinate quicker than those thorough- 

 ly ripened. As an example of this I 

 may refer to cannas. When thoroughly 

 ripened it takes a long time for the 

 hard shell to split, and it is recom- 

 mended to file them to assist the burst- 

 ing; but if seeds are sown before they 

 are quite ripened off, they will germi- 

 nate in a short time, and require no 

 assistance to burst their shells. In 

 these there does not appear to be any 

 loss in vigor from sowing immature 

 ?eeds. 



I am not prepared to state from ac- 

 tual observation, but it is supposed 

 that with tomatoes unripe seed will 

 germinate quickly, and plants will be 

 weak; but if they can be got over 

 the early stages of growth, the^ will 

 crop earlier, and the crop may be heav- 

 ier, though not such large fruits indi- 

 vidually. I can say that I have had re- 

 markably good results from seeds five 

 and six years old. I have also grown 

 cockscombs from seed seven years old, 

 and the plants appear to form the 

 combs earlier than those rrom new seed. 

 It used to be a theory that stocks 

 would produce a larger percentage of 

 doubles from old seed. 1 have proved 

 that it may be kept for several years, 

 but cannot vouch for the fact that it 

 it likely to produce more doubles. There 

 is one thing, however, that I fully be- 

 lieve; that is, that a much larger per- 

 centage of double flowers is obtained 

 from seed saved from the main stems 

 only, and these topped when they have 

 attained to a fair length. 



I remember when balsams were 

 grown for exhibition, a most successful 

 exhibitor always saved his seed from 

 the main stems only, and he attributed 

 his success to the fact of having care- 

 fully selected the seed, but I think cul- 

 ture also had something to do with his 

 success. 



There are many se^ds which under 

 natural conditions are subject to a 

 long period of drying, and which no 

 amount of drying seems to injure; but 

 there are others which never do get 

 thoroughly dried. Taking cyclamen 

 seed as an example, this should never 

 be subject to much drying; from the 

 time it is collected until it is sown it 

 should be kept in a cool place. Shut up 

 in a tin box, it will ke'^p firm and 

 plump, but when over-dried it does not
