Pumpkin Seeds Germinated in Wet Newspaper 



Sometimes Mr. Burbank employs a piece oj 



newspaper instead of a cloth to germinate seeds, merely 



wrapping the seeds loosely in the moistened paper. The efficacy of 



the method is demonstrated in this picture. Seeds thus 



germinated will make rapid growth when 



transferred to the soil.
