R. J. Ferrec, Clemson exten
sion horticulturist, says some
seed need sleep before they are
able to grow.
“Children are frequently dis
appointed b e c a u s e.-apple or
peach seed which they plant
don’t grow immediately. When
this happens, you might explain
to them that the seed haven’t
had their nap!”
Most fruit and tree seed won’t
grow wen they are first separat
ed from the parent plant. They
have a built-in deaelyd - action
“time clock.”
Horticulturists speak of the de
layed-action mechanism as “af
ter ripening, dormanc, or rest
period,” Ferree says. Whatever
it is, the “clock” performs a
very necessary function.
“If all seed germinated imme
diately upon maturing, all of
them might grow during the late
summer and fall. When the cold
weather came, they would likely
be too tender to survive the win
ter. An entire species might be
wiped out.”
The length of the rest period in
most seed corresponds roughly
to the length of the winter pe
riod in the specie’s native land.
How long Mother Nature has
worked to effect the system is
not known. But it must have been
tens of thousands of years.
Plant scientists have found
that there are two principal ele
ments of a seed’s rest period.
Before the rest period man be
completed, the seed must go
through a drying process. It
must also be subjected to low
temperatures.
Strangely enough, both the
drying and the cold requirements
are so extreme that seed’s pro
geny plant could not survive in
a vegetative state. Many seed
must be dried to 4 or 5 per cent
moisture before they are able to
germinate. And seed can with
stand cold that will kill (lie
plant itself.
For practical reasons, dor
mancy is usually expressed in

number of cold hours required
before germination will take
place. If apple and peach seed
are planted in South Carolina,
they will not grow until they
have been subjected to the re
quired number of cold hours.
Ferree says apple seed need
75-100 days at 40 degrees F. or
lower before they will grow.
Peach seed need at least 100
days.
Some of the odrmancy needs
of other seed common to South
Carolina are: pecan. 30-90 pays;
black walnut, 60-120 days; do
mestic plum, 120 days; and sour
cherry, 100-120 days.
Knowledge of the rest period
is of great importance to nurs
erymen and seedmen. Most fruit
varieties purchased today start
ed with the planting of a seed
to produce the rootstock. The
improved variety is later grafted
or budded on the rootstock just
above the ground line.
Ferree says the rest period in
seed becomes a liability when
breeders want to speed germina
tion. Sometimes they want seed
to grow immediately after com
ing off the parent tree. They
have been successful in breaking
the dormancy by "shocking” the
seed. »
The rest period has been brok
en by “shocking” with alternat
ing high and low temperatures.
One interesting way of breaking
the rest period has been by the
use of strong light upon the seed.
Potassium nitrate treatments
have also proved successful in
breaking dormancy.
Children love to see demon
strations of the regeneration of
life. This may account for their
agrarian yearnings. You can
carry them as deeply into this
subject as their little minds will
understand.

What is poise? It’s a quality of assuredness, a
reflexion of being in tune with the world. Some
women seem born with it; others spend a life
time trying to acquire it. It comes from ex
periencing much, knowing much, being much
loved. Poise stands besides dignity and grace
in the well-bred woman. Often it Is mirrored in
her very manner of dress. For this reason, the
Indy of poise frequently chooses Red Cross Shoes.
The place to see them is GORDON’S SHOE
STORE.
