Certain slow-germinating seeds, those marked by “y” 
key, may be benefited by refrigerator treatment. Just 
put seeds in glass jar, then close tightly so that 
moisture may be neither gained nor lost; then place 
in regular storage section of ordinary household re¬ 
frigerator. Freezing is not needed, just a few weeks 
of cold storage before sowing. In the wild they get 
a full winter of it, so the longer you can give them, 
the better. Of course this is only for spring sowing, 
“y” seeds sown in open in fall or winter, need no 
artificial refrigeration.
