GALLOowAY, B. T.: The growth of radishes as affected by 
the size and weight of the seed.—The relation of the weight 
of the seed to the weight of the products was considered, and 
the physiological questions involved discussed. It was shown 
that by using large seed about 90 per cent. of the crop reaches 
marketable size at the same time. Where mixed seed are 
used, or seed as it usually comes from the market, from 45 to 
50 per cent. only of the crop matures at the same time. In 
other words, by using large seed go per cent. of the crop will 
mature in from thirty-five to forty days, and where large and 
small seed are used about 50 per cent. of the crop will mature 
in the same time.
