germination when used in the treatment 

 of the seed. He therefore soaked old 

 and fresh seeds of different kinds in 

 solutions of diastase and similar sub- 

 stances before planting. He found in 

 general that the percentage of germina- 

 tion and the vigor of the young plants 

 were increased by such treatment, dias- 

 tase, either from malt or from various 

 commercial preparations, being especially 

 active in this respect. He found that 

 tomato seeds responded especially well 

 to the action of the diastase. 



In his more recent experiments Pro- 

 fessor Waugh treated tomato seeds of 

 different ages not only with diastase but 

 with malt extract and with beer, which 

 contain a certain amount of diastase. 

 He found that the germination of old 

 seeds was greatly promoted, and the 

 vigor of the plants was increased by 

 soaking over night in weak solutions 

 of diastase, or in malt extract or beer. 

 The germination of tomato seeds five 

 to six years old was increased 600 per 

 cent by the diastase treatment. Similar 

 results, though less marked, were ob- 

 tained with fresh seeds. In all cases 

 the plants were more vigorous, and ap- 

 parently more resistant to disease. The 

 results in general indicate that this 

 method of treatment may be profitably 

 employed if a cheaper source of diastase 

 than that now available can be secured. 



The results obtained in these experi- 

 ments confirm those by Jensen in experi- 

 ments made in Sweden with oats and 

 barley. He found that treatment of seed 

 grain with a weak extract of malt gave 

 an increase in the yields obtained at har- 

 vest time in comparison with seed treated 

 with water only, showing that the ex- 

 tract produced an increased vegetative 

 energy. 



Similar results are reported by Br^al 

 and Giustiniani, of France, with, how- 

 ever, a very different method of treat-
