The information here was extracted with minor revisions from an article by John M. Riley that appeared in the 1981 CRF !earboo" #vol. 1$% 1981% pp.1&'(). The f*ll article contains important additional information on mechanisms of seed +ermination% propa+ation techni,*es% propa+ation media% container mixes and seed stora+e. -ee the bac" iss*e information for price and orderin+ information.

(itamins The most common vitamin s*pplement for plants is vitamin <1 #thiamine). .ther vitamins of the < complex are also *sef*l. 9icotinic acid #niacin) and ascorbic acid #vitamin C) have all been recommended. Willow Tea : tea made from willow bar" contains a s*bstance that enhances the actions of plant hormones and appears to stim*late +ermination. -oa"in+ seed in willow tea for 6' to '8 ho*rs is s*++ested.
