Why Seeds Fail.

In the first place, however, we will ex-
anime the causes of failure. Ifsmall seeds
are planted too deep, they either rot in
the damp cold earlh, for the want of
warmth necessary to their termination, or
after examination, perish before the shoots
can reach the sun and air; SO that which
was designed for their support and nour-
ishment proves their grave.
If the soil is stiff clay, it is often too
cold ut the time the seeds are planted to
effect their termination; for it must lie
understood that warmth and moisture are
necessary to the termination of Seeds
Neither Of these will do alone. Seeds
may be kept In a warm, dry room, in dry
sand CT earth, ard they will not grow.
They may be placed in damp earth, and
kept in low temperature, and they will
most likely rot, though some seeds will re-
main dormant a long time under these cir
cumstances. But place them in moist
earth, in warm room, and they will COM
mence growth at once. Another difficulty
With heavy soil is that it becomes hard
