Note 8 — A CIVIC BIOLOGY (continued 2)

The Pocket Garden.—A very convenient form of pocket germinator may be made as follows. Obtain two cleaned four by five negatives (window glass will do); place one flat on the table and place on this half a dozen pieces of colored blotting paper cut to a size a little less than the glass. Now cut four thin strips of wood to fit on the glass just outside of the paper. Next moisten the blotter, place on it some well-soaked radish, mustard seeds or barley grains, and cover with the other glass. The whole box thus made should be bound together with bicycle tape. Seeds will germinate in this box and with care may live for two weeks or more.
