In discussing the influence Of cold
IN stimulating the growth of plants.
DR.. Frederick V. Coyille shows that
the general belief as to the causes Of
dormancy of plants in the fall and of
roneous. He has proved conclusively
by numerous experiments that dor
nancy in trees and shrubs sets in be-
fore cold weather, and that cold
weather is not necessary for the es-
tablishment of complete dormancy:
that after dormancy has begun the
exposure of the plants to an ordi-
nary growing temperature is not suf-
ficient to start them into growth. and
that these plants will not resume
normal growth in the warm weather
of spring unless they have been SUBJ
jected previously to a period of chill
ing.
DR.. Coville is of the opinion that
| a complete understanding of the re-
| suits Of the process of chilling will
be of the greatest benefit to agri-
culture, especially in transferring
plants from one part of the world
to another. in growing various plants
out of season, in grating and other
processes OF modern agricultural
practice.
