Collecting of Seed. 
The Grevillea robusta and also most of the Eucalypts are now 
in season, and the two men are kept busy collecting and sorting. 
Some of the seed is quite difficult to collect and requires to be 
watched carefully: The Grevillea robusta, for instance, must be 
collected just before the seed pods begin to open; if left too long 
the pods will crack open and the seed get lost. Then again, 
should the pods be picked too soon, the seed will not be good. 
The same rule applies to a number of different species, and 
great care is required so that the best seed may be procured.
