MAKING SEEDS GROW.

moisture are necessary TO the germina-

Seeds may he kept In warm dry room
in dry sand or earth and they will not
grow. They may be placed In damp
earth and kept in a cold temperature
and they will probably rot though some
seeds will remain dormant a long time
under these circumstances.
Last summer a Gamma seed WIS
brought to the surface In spadinH up
an old bed that had been used several
years before as a Gamma bed. The seed
had become buried probably below the
frost line and In digging deeply In set

the surface and began to grow after
lying dormant all this time.
Seeds placed In moist earth IN q

A great difficulty with heavy soil Is
that II becomes hard on the surface
and this prevents the young plant.
