Excerpt from Additional Data on Collecting and Propagating the Seeds of California Wild Plants For the technique of treating difficult seeds the reader is referred to Research Note No. 18, in which the subject is fully discussed. In the preparation of material for this publication, James B. Roof, nursery technician of this Station, conducted most of the germination tests and assisted in the preparation of the tabulation. The names of the plants were checked by Mrs. Lois H. Marion of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station. Everett Doe, at one time an nya student assistant at the Station, was responsible for estimating the number of seeds per pound for most of the Species listed.

Excerpt from California Wild Flower Seeds: List No. 5 As an aid to the grower we have in some cases added the species habitat. When no habitat is noted the plant is found throughout California. Plants widely distributed are native also outside the Pacific Coast region. Alti' tude is given as an indication of hardiness. We have stated plants to be hardy in other localities only when we have had specific reports to that effect. We will appreciate receiving such reports on the adaptability of California native plants to various climates and countries. Heights given are average. Plants are perennial unless otherwise indicated. California annuals are best in effect when massed and are well adapted for use in eastern gardens, where they should be sown as soon as frost is over. Most of them require good drainage, light soil, shallow sowing and little water when established. Note special quantity prices for certain species of wild flower seed for naturalizing.

"This easy-to-use reference is designed for the increasing numbers of serious home gardeners, commercial nurserymen, and members of the professional horticultural and botanical community who want to propagate the native flora of California. Such information is vital if we are to meet the challenges of limited water for our landscapes, revegetation of our open space, and the preservation of endangered species. We hope that you will find this book a useful addition to your gardening library" -

Excerpt from Collecting, Processing, and Germinating Seeds of Western Wildland Plants The demand for wildland plants for revegetation of roadsides, mine dumps, and other harsh environments has created the need to develop efficient techs niques for (1) collecting, (2) threshing and cleaning, (3) storing, (4) germi nating, and (5) propagating seeds of these plant species. Our purpose is to provide individuals interested in the propagation of wildland plants with a summary of the techniques we have developed from prae tical experience and from the application of knowledge from related fields.
