Expanded Seed Germination Data (31 day report)

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

Carl-Otto Zita asked that information on the appearance of leaves be
reported in the germination data. So I've summarized to fit the data on a
page. If some of you want the rate data, I can send a 123 spreadsheet.

Note that when the radicle appears the seed is transferred from plastic
bag to germinating medium. Later the leaves appear (on some species). I
can't report on tuberlets formed yet. Since the seed is handled, some
losses may occur in the transfer. There have been no losses so far in
seedlings that have formed leaves.
