Advice on seed germination methods etc - Norman Deno's paper etc
Paul Cumbleton:
Magnar Asparka also has a very useful source of information on his website. He gives information on whether seeds needs sowing in warmth or in cold and how long each one took for him to germinate. Go to http://magnar.aspaker.no/ and then select "Sowing methods" from his menu on the left. He lists many plants I've not found info on anywhere else.

Given the current political situation in the USA I wonder if we should all make sure we have copies of these downloaded (including a copy hosted on the SRGC website if this won't infringe copyright)?
Maggi Young:
I believe it to be the case that Deno's paper, with his permission, were now copyright free. Will check this - good suggestion, Tristan .
Maggi Young:
Dr Norman Deno's "Seed Germination: Theory and Practice" and the two supplemental books originated as free downloads at the USDA National Agriculture Library online site. The copies are available here to download from the SRC site.
The books of Norman Deno are in the Public Domain so they are free from copyright so we load them here as a service to members.

Rick R.:
Dr. Deno's information is usually my first place to look for germination advice. I use his extensive list as a base to which I add more information. About 700 additions that include an additional 300 species so far.
