In the resting stage, the seed re- quires very small amounts of oxygen, but when germination starts it demands a greater a.rn- ount.

Seeds from strong vigorous parent plants usually have larger embryos and a greater amount of stored food than those from weakly parent plants.

CONDITION NECESSARY FOR GERMINATION seeds are planted so that fres- oxygen can reach them, they will not germinate. - Id seeds are planted too deep in a heavy clay soil, or in a soil that is too wet, they are quite likely to have a poor supply of. oxygen and to germinate slowly. It is true uhsi. some seeds, those of rice. for example. will germin- ate with a very small amount of oxygen, even with that which is present in water in vmich they may be submerged. But, ii tho water is boiled and cooled before the rice seeds are placed in it. and thus most of the oxygen in solution removed. and it tho surface o! the water is covered with a thin film of oil to prevent the absorption o! oxygen by the water, the seeds fail to germin- ate. THE VITALITY OF SEEDS from seeds which have been ni- lowed to reach lull maturity on the plant. Conditions under which seeds are stored influence their vitality. Low temperatures and low humidity o! the surrounding air are desirable to prevent ger- mination during storage and to‘ retain the vitality of the embryos.‘ It is well known that seeds grad-I uaily lose their vitality as they: Brow older.
