TABLE III. 
Vegetation percentage relation to germination. 
Under 10 per cent, 4 times. 
Between 10 and 20 percent, 2 times. 
Between 20 and 30 percent, 3 times. 
Between 30 and 40 percent, 3 times. 
Between 40 and 50-per cent, 4 times. 
Between 50 and 60 percent, 7 times. 
Between 60 and 170 percent, 7 times. 
Between 7%0.and° 80 per cent, 13 times. 
Between 80 and 90 per cent, 21 times. 
Between ¥0 and 1060 per cent, 14 times. 
100 per cent, 3 times. 
Over 100 per cent, 7 times. 
We thus see that on general terms vegetation is less than germination. 
If we arrange according to age of seed we have Table IV,

Of the seven year seed.....-.......-. 5 50 18 to 86 
Of the eight to the thirteen year seed, 7 62 4 to 104 
and this indicates, what we had not suspected, that the influence of / 
age of seed upon this percentage relation is not well marked. 
_ Ifin treating of vegetation in general we must conclude that there 
is no necessary percentage relation between vegetative and germinative 
properties of garden seeds, and that age of seed exerts but little influ- 
ence, it may not follow that there is no relation in seeds of the same } 
kind. We, therfere, select from our Table I examples of duplicates, ee 
varieties, and form a new table. §
