The average of all the viabilities for 

 each kind is reached. For the twenty- 

 seven different kinds — and, as it 

 chances, the twenty-seven different 

 packet houses — the average number of 

 plants of all kinds which a purchaser 

 would get for 5 cents, putting the seed 

 up in the quantity in which most of 

 the seeds are put up, is 923 plants for a 

 nickel. Of that average the lowest is 

 represented by watermelon. The aver- 

 age viability of watermelon sent out 

 by all these houses is sixty-four. Ther^ 

 are, of course, in a packet of water- 

 melon only a few seeds, because the 

 seeds are so large that the packet will 

 not hold very many. The average num- 

 ber of plants which would be obtained 

 by the average number of seeds is 

 forty-nine. That is the lowest of all of 

 them. They range from that up 

 through the thousands. The average 

 number of sprouts which the purchaser
