The Vitality of Buried Seeds (Classic Reprint) by J. W. T. Duvel Pdf

Excerpt from The Vitality of Buried Seeds So much has already been written on the germination of seeds that have remained dormant in the'soil for a number of years, in some cases even for centuries, that it Seemed desirable to determine with some degree of accuracy the length of time that certain seeds will retain their vitality when buried in the soil under known conditions. Accordingly, in the autumn of 1902, 112 different samples of seeds were selected for these expe-riments, as follows: .

The Vitality and Germination of Seeds (Classic Reprint) by J. w. t. Duvel Pdf

Excerpt from The Vitality and Germination of Seeds It has long been known that the conditions under which plants are grown and the degree of maturity at the time of harvesting are fac tors which play an important part in the life of seeds. But, granting that seeds are of strong vitality at the time of harvesting, there remain to be considered the methods of gathering and curing, the water content of the seed at the time of storing, the methods of stor age, the humidity and temperature of the surrounding atmosphere, the composition of the seed, the nature of the seed coats, activities within the cells, and numerous other factors which play important parts in the life of the seed. The conditions necessary for the successful germination of a seed of good vitality and the chemical transformations accompanying these early stages of development have received considerable attention from numerous investigators. These changes and conditions are fairly well understood for many of our common seeds. However, several impor tant facts still remain unexplained, and our knowledge will not be complete until each and every species has'been carefully studied.

The Journal of Agricultural Science, Vol. 9 by R. H. Biffen Pdf

Excerpt from The Journal of Agricultural Science, Vol. 9: 1918-19 The seeds of many species of plants have a habit of germinating in un expected places under various conditions, and the question of the vitality of seeds is one that has frequently engaged the attention of. Scientists. It has often been claimed that seeds obtained from old pyramids and sepulchres have germinated when placed in favourable circumstances, but Becquerel1 states that strict enquiry and experiment show that authentic seeds of such origin will not germinate, but that the seeds so obtained which do germinate have proved to be frauds insetted by the fellaheen for the sake of gain. Various writers (quoted bv Becquerel) have claimed the power of germination for seeds buried for very long periods. Michelet elaimed that seeds of Galimn nlicum, buried 3000 years ago in the valley of Doubs, had retained their power of growth; von Held reich, that Glrmcium Serpieri from land covered by excavated scoriae 1500 years ago, was still viable; much doubt, however, has been thrown on the authenticity of such seeds. Information of this kind is of comparatively little value as evidence, as there is no definite proof of the time at which the seed actually reached its position or of the way in which it was transported. More satisfactory evidence has been obtained by the attempted germination of seeds of known age by various observers. Becquerel quotes experiments in which 500 species of seeds were sown, some of which were nearly 200 years old. Only four families gave any germination, Leguminosae, Nelumbifweae, Malvaceae, Labiatae. Cuminosae. 18 species germinated out of 90 sown. Ages 28-87 years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Seeds of Redemption by Andy White Pdf

Struggle--of both the small and staggering sort--is woven throughout all our lives. It can erode our faith, strip us of hope, rob us of joy, extinguish our vitality, and diminish our capacity to love. But because God is always present and at work, seeds of redemption lie as hidden treasure buried in the ground of struggle. By taking a deeply human look at various figures in the lineage of Jesus in Matthew 1, Andy White shows us that the people we once may have considered unlike us because of thousands of years of separation suddenly come close in their pain, loss, and failures. He, too, comes close as a man who has faced hardships, to offer others a hand when their feet are unsteady. By digging into the lives of these biblical sojourners, White unearths hidden treasures, guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, and points the way forward, showing us ways to cultivate tenacious hope, stronger faith, and greater capacity to live and love as participants in God's ongoing redemption story.

Acorns: Windows High-Tide Foghat by Joshua Morris Pdf

Acorns delineates the future of humanity as a reunification of intellect with the Deep Self. Having chosen to focus upon ego (established securely by the time of Christ), much more beta brain wave development will destroy our species and others, which process has already begun. We create our own realities through beliefs, intents and desires and we were in and out of probabilities constantly. Feelings follow beliefs, not the other way around.
