Germinating Seeds in Damp Cloth 



Seeds of various hinds, arranged in loose rows as 

 here shown, may be rolled in a damp clolh and thus germinated 

 preparatory to platitlng. This is one oj the Jiumerous shortcuts 

 that Mr. Burbank practices. The method is some- 

 times used merely to test the viability of 

 seeds Jrom different lots.
