Now, tnke beau that linn been
eoRked for a few hour. The need
tont will come
IT wily. The
I .ii rt cl the bran
thut Ih limlde I
found to be apllt
In two leDtrth
wIhi'. These two
Imlvea nre called
rotyhtlona, which
la only another
name for Ked
leave. Spread
the cotyledon
apart carefully.
If you look close
ly you can see at
little plant tuck
ed anuKly away
between t b e ni .
Just to one aide
of the middle la
a email stein, the
raullcle. Tauten
ed to It la the rid. l a i.iTT!.
plumule, a tiny "ah ,la-'t.
bunch of leaves ao amoll that yoa
may have dllilculty in making them
out. Farther on, at the end of the
bean, Is the etubby root, or radicle.
These different part are fouud In ev
ery need, no matter how amnll.
. Now that yon hare seen what la In
tho bean, examine a pumpkin seed in
tho name way. It is much the aame
Inside as the benn, only flatter. The
hlluin la at the pointed end, and the
plumule la bo small that you may not
he able to see it nt all. In these two
seeds there are only two main parts,
the seed coat and the little plant. By
far the greater part of the room inside
the seed coat is taken up by the fleshy
leed leaves.
Now let u look at a different kind
of a seed. Take a kernel of corn that
has been soaked for several hours and
cut It in two lengthwise the narrow
way. The buck of the grain Is made
up In port of a hard, flinty substance
nnd In part of a white, mealy layer. A
large part of the front of the kernel Is
token up by the soft, oily germ.
Look at the cut section of the germ
carefully. The little plant can be
made out very plainly. The little
pointed stem which points upward and
outward Is the cotyledon. There is
only one cotyledon In corn instead of
two, as in the other seeds you have
examined. If you will take a cotyledon
of a corn plant that has been left In a
warm place until It has commenced to
grow and cut It In two lengthwise you
will see that the innlde is packed with
layers of tiny leaves ready to unfold
ns soon as their turn comes. This is
the plumule. The other parts of the
little corn plant you will be able to
make out with little trouble.
- You have doubtless been wondering
what the rest of the kernel Me part
back of the germ. Is for. While it Is
not a part of tie plant Itself, it is ot
very isnt use to it, as we shall see.
Tlie little plant when It begins to
grow must have food. At first it has
no roots to get this food from the soil,
so it must get its nourishment from
some other source. This source Is the
part of the kernel outside of the gen,
Itself, or the endosperm. In the pum;
kin seed and the bean t ie endosper.
nnd the cotyledons are the !nmp-tei
Is, the food material Is storeu i.i the
large, fishy seed leaves.
This food material consists largely
of starch and oil. Neither of these can
be used by the developing plant with
out first being changed to a liquid
form. This is one of the reasons why
seeds will not germinate without wa
ter. The other reason is that the wa
ter Is needed to soften the seed coat so
the plant can get out. But this starch
and oil will not dissolve In water
without first being changed to a solu
ble form. This Is accomplished by
means of ferments called enzymes. If
you will put a piece of starch on your
tongue for a moment you will find that
It will begin to taste sweet. This is
because the ferments in the saliva are
changing it to sugar. The enzymes In
the endosperm work in much the same
way, changing the starch and oil to
sugar and other soluble substances.
These are dissolved by the water and
go to feed the growing plant.
These enzymes cannot work without
air and warmth. You already know
that a seed will not germinate In cold
ground, and If you will put some
beans In glass of water and lear
