If you separate the two lobes of a bean, or other seed of a similar char acter, yoawili discover, pressed .be tween them at the undivided or. stem end. or side, a minute kernel or bud. This, though a mere point, as it were, contains the rudiments of two or more nnovpinnpd loaves, united by a solid undivided Bortion.- called, in the lonrm.trA of botbatanv. the radicle arid . constitutes an embryo plant, holding within itself all the elements of vegeta w nf The commencement of the vital life action which produces the Hpwlnnmpnt of this embryo is called erprml nation. The conditions essential to germina tion are the presence ofmo ut ure, tcarmin onH mnrnrn nflJt. ! In the absence of moisture, no effect toward germination is produced by the oresence of warmth or oxygen, or any 'other gas. Moisture and oxygen gas TvHhrmtwiirmth. are eaually ineffica- rinntv nnd ro are moisture and wartb in the absence of the oxygen ; for seeds will not germinate in a vacum, nor in distilled or recently boiled water. j . Mnfetnre ia necessary to -soften and expand the various "parts, to disolve soluble matter, and to establish "a sort nf circulation. The embn-o seems also to have the power of decomposing water; and it im probable that a portion of the oxygen required is obtained ti this way. The rest must come from hAir? fnr it is found that a commu- nirotinn with tho atmosDhere is abso- lntoiv respntml to oerfect cermination The effect of heat appears to be to set the vital principal In action, xo expanu 4i,nir in thfi numerous microscopic cavities of the seed, - and to produce iotmti'nn nfftll the orraDic Darts, ine Aotrr-a. r,f hft roouiretl. vanes with different species. The common chick weed will germinate at a "temperature but little above tne ireezing-puiiu, while the seeds of many tropical .plants of from 90 to 110 (Fan- htit tn call them into action.f- whwt. rv. and barley will crerminate ti a Hwrrpe vflTvin? from 113a to 167 i3 capable of destroying the vitali ty of the various grains, beans, peas, etc Direct light, so essential to sub sequent vegetation, is umavoruuie u germination. . ' . I Th time reouired for crernimation is diffprpntin different species of plants. Much also depends upon soil, climate, degree of moisture, etc. Un der favorable circumstances, wheat, rye, oats, and millet will -germinate in one day; beans, turnips, radishes and mustard in three days; lettuce in four days; melon, cucumber, squash, and pumpkin In five days; barley in severt ; cabbage in ten; parsley in fifteen; al mond, peach and peony in one year, and hawthorn in two years. - The time that seeds will retain their vitality also differs in different species, but in all cases depends partly upon the degree in which they are excluded from the action of .moisture and light. Kidney-beans, peas and carrot-, pars nepsand rhubarb seeds are generally considered as losing their vitality at the end of one year,T?ut will sometimes germinate after being kept much lon ger. , .1 These facts have important bearings upon the subject of horticulture, and should be constantly borne in mind; and especially is it reouisite that the essential conditions of germination be held in remembrance. A failure tjo germinate is doubtless often attributed to bad seeds, when the fait is entirely in the planting. It must be perfectly evident that if your seeds arc insuffi cient! v covereo! in a lisrht, dry soil, they will lack the first essential of ger-4 and perish for want of moisture. This . is why light soils should be pressed to gether and upon the seed in planting, either by means of a roller or other wiso. Seed3 buried too deeply, or cov ered with a heavy, dense soil, pressed too closely upon them, fail to germin ate for want of communication with the atmosphere. If there be not -sufficient warmth in the soil at the time of planting, and it remain cold for a con siderable time thereafter, the seedsjust as surely perish. t Remember the condition of germin ationmoisture, warmth, and oxygen gas (or air containing oxygen.) Germination being established by the action of moisture and warmth," and maintained by the oxygen of the atmosphere, all parts of the embryo enlarge, ana new parts arc formed at the expense of a saccharine or sugary secretion, which the germinating seed possesses the power of forming. With the assistance of this substance, tho root or radicle, at first a mere rounded cone, extends and pierces the earth-in search of fooa. While, the other ex tremity elongates in the opposite di rection, bringing the votyledons, or seed leaves (except when these remain per manently in tho ground, as in the p'fca, wheat, rye, etc.,) and the rudimentary leaves and stem, to'thc surface of the eni!. Tho nrocesa -of erermination is now completed the plant is born. Jacquks. .... Oflclal Return , j nf the rote for Attorney General at taei ? Election held on theitA day of Aug., 1870.
