H. M. THOMPSON & SON’s 
Treatment of Seeds. 
Evergreen end European Larch, require soaking in water two to six days, and 
should be sowed in bed shaded by screens of lath, brush or some other material. 
Juniper seeds should have the pulp broken and packed in moist sand for one year 
previous to planting. 
Very small deciduous tree seeds require same treatment as evergreen seeds. The 
larger kinds of deciduous seeds may bo soaked in water four to eight day.s, and 
then mixed with earth, or moist sand, until they show signs of germinating. Lo- 
cust.iind Coffee seeds may be treated with boiling hot water.and remain in luke warm 
water until they show signs of germinating. The water will require occBSional chang- 
ing to prevent souring. 
Pear and Quince seeds require six to eight days soaking, apple seeds three to 
four days, and mixed with two or three times their bulk of moist sand, and be kept 
cool and moist or frozen until time for planting; or they may be kept moist and 
slightly warm, and turned over once in twenty-four hours, until one. third of the 
seeds germinate, when they should be immediately sown.
