GATHER GOOD FLOWER SEEDS

(BY W. r. GILBERTl

~
1t is desirable to save ones seeds
not only as matter of economy, but
AS a means of. improving the variety
In a collection of annual plants all
from the same stock of seed there will
be considerable variety presented
Some may vary from the general
stock in the size or color of the flow
err and others in the habit of the
plant.
These peculiarities are not certain
to be reproduced, but the probabilities
are that some Of the seeds from such
plants will show them and by follow
ing course of selection one can in a
few years SO establish a variety that
it will come constantly true from
seed.
1t has been found in practise that
though a popularity may not show
itself very strongly the first year, yet
it will manifest itself the next year if
the grower perseveres. 1t is well to

In bed of plants from which seeds
are to be saved promiscuously and
when it is desirable to have all of one
color, those of different shade from
the required must be pulled out as
soon as they show themselves.
Some seed pods open with jerk as
soon as ripe and scatter the contents
for distance. Some open by a hole
or crack and as the plant is swayed
by the wind the seeds are gradually
sifted out. In other cases there is no
provision for the scattering of the
seeds, but the fruit of seed vessel
must decay before they can be lib

1t IS not necessary to wait until
seeds are dead ripe before collecting
them. A little experience teaches one
to know the point at which 1t is safe
to gather. Those seed vessels, which
In breaking scatter the seed, should
be gathered just before they open and
be allowed to pop under some con-
venient cover. AS soon as seeds are
gathered put label with them and
when they are thoroughly dry, clean
and store them away.
The manner OF cleaning seed is
varied according to circumstances,

The Silver Maple.

Silver maple seems to be valuable
chiefly because of its rapid growth.
The wood is rather soft, light in
weight and not strong or durable. It
succeeds in rather low, moist land
where many other trees do not thrive.
It is rather subject to insects and
fungous diseases and the brittle limbs
are quite easily broken off in storms
Although the fuel value of the wood
is not high, paintings are worth more
for fuel than for anything else. When
planted either alone or with other
varieties. the trees should be spaced
about six feet apart each way.
