DISADVANTAGES OF PLANTING DEEP.

Mr. j. Thomas reported at the recent meeting
in Montreal results Of some experiments showing
that if covered too deep with compact soil no seed
will gcrmaato. Nurscrymen thus keen peach pits
dormant and the fact that weed seeds deep in the
ground readily develop when raised TO the surface
has often led 10 belief the absurd idea of spOn-
taneous generation. There is good reason for the
old rule, not to plant seeds more than i've times

seed failed to grow when planted two inches
deep: timothy crew freely nj half an inch, but
utterly failed at twice that depth.
All culmiferous plants that grow from deep
planting throw ont secondary roots nearer the
surface from which the principal nourishment is
received. In corn these new roots at two
inches; wheat and oats one inch or "a little more.
The great loss in deep planting seems to arise from
loss of tine IN reaching the surface and forming
these secondary roots. The necessity of planting
near the surface is due 10 the fact that the plant
needs air. even ut this early stage OF grow th

that larger seeds should be planted deeper ihan

over fine seeds to give sufficient moisture.
