Wheat ia said t hava batn reproduc ed from auch seed, Las* beeu aold in the market. There ia nothing in thia inconsist ent with the analogy of other facta. Dr. Lindtey, the amiuaiit English hot auist, says; "I have new before me three plants of raspberries, which have been raiaad in the gardens of the Hor ticultural Society, from aeeds taken from the atumarh at a man whose skel eton was f.iiimi thirty feet below the surface of the earth, at the bottom of a barruw that was opened ucar Dor cheater. ll# had been buried with some cuius of the Emfieror Hadrian, and it ia probable, therefore, that the seed* were 1.600 1,71)Q years old." Numerous esses are recorded in which earth thrown up fromn consid erable depth has become covered with a vegetation foreign to the neighbor hood iu which it appears, and the garins of which must have remained dormant for a great length of time. The fact that seeds retain their vitali ty from year to jear, when exposed to atmospheric influences, makes it ap pear highly probable that they will retain it for a much longer period, bow long no oue ran aay, when light and heal aud moisture are withdrawn. It is a fact with which the agricul turist ia pertcctly aware, that seeds are not so apt to germinate on Iwing kept over from year to rear. This is owing to the effect of exposure to the atmosphere and other influences, and •very farmer or gardener thou Id be particular tu abtaia the freahrat *aei for piavnliitff.
