Other seeds hnvo hard seed coats, pr shells, which nro covered In many cases by edible fruit. Tho fruits nre eaten by birds, but the seeds nro not digested, nnd in this wny become distributed from place to place. Tho groves of cedars which are charac teristic of tho landscape In many sections of tho country, It will bo noted nre chiefly placed along the lines of fences or fence rows. Tho fruit of tho cednr Is an edible ono, but tho seed Is not digestible, nnd In this way tho existence ot these hedge rows of cednrs Is explained. Cherries, grapes, aud othor fruits are to n consid erable exlont disseminated In llko mau nor. Tho hard nuts of our nut-bearing trees are not used as food by birds or large animals, but aro usually sought by squir rels and small rodents, which nro In the hnblt of gathering and burying them in vnrlous places or storing them In largo quantities for WIntor uso. Tho result Is thnt a considerable percentage of those which nro burled In this manner aro never rediscovered by thoso hiding them, and In time Naturci causes tho hard shell to crack open, and the warmth and moisture of tho soil brings tho germ contained In tho kernel Into life nnd a tree springs into oxlstcncc. It will bo noted thnt tho nuts which wcro burled by tho squirrels did not germ inate Immediately niter being buried, but waited until tho warm weather of the Spring camo before they put forth their tender shoots. This Is not becnutso they willed It. but becauso tho hard outer walls ot tho shell would not admit tho air and water to tho germ, so as to stimulnto Us growth. It was necessary that tho shell bo frozen nud broken by tho nctton of tho frosts and tho weather before moisture could gain nu cntranco to causo the swelling of tho germ. This peculiarity, when taken advontago ot commercially, Is called stratification. Seeds with hnrd shells, such as cherries, peaches, plums and tho llko, have to be stratified that Is, they must bo planted In tho Fall whero the plants nro to grow or they must bo packed away In boxes of sand In n position whero thoy will freezo and remain frozen during tho Winter, in order that they may gorm Innto tho following Spring. If seeds of this chnrnctcr nro stored nnd kept dry during tho Winter they will not gormlunto It planted In the Spring. Scoda with thin seed coats, however, llko pens, beans, etc., it treated In llko man ner, will bo destroyed by tho action of tho cold, and no plants will result from planting them In tho Autumn. Such seeds must, from the nature or llio caso, bo retained In n dry nnd compara tively warm placo during tho Winter sea son, in order that tholr vitality may not bo destroyed. Cranberry Industry.
