American Wild
Plum (Prunus americana) - yellow fruit or red fruit
4 seeds $3.00,
plus $2.50 shipping
American plum germinates
more consistently following cool, moist stratification at 36 to
41
degrees F (2.2-5 deg C) for 90 to 150 days. Stratified
seed should be planted 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) deep in
the spring or fall; for nursery culture, seeds should be sown at
the rate of four seeds per square foot. Seed viability is
estimated to be approximately 5 years. This species can
also be successfully propagated via stem cuttings.

Poke Weed (Phytolacca
americana) seeds - 50 seeds/pack, plus $3.00 shipping. Bulk seeds for large planting area: 1 oz.
$20.00, plus shipping.
Poke Weed is a
perennial plant that grows good in average soils in direct sun
or partial shade and is hardy in growing zones 4-9. For best
germination results, soak the seeds in sulfuric acid solution
for 5 minutes. Poke seeds germinate best in the wild after
being passed through a bird's digestive system. Birds love the
berries, but they are poisonous to humans so do not eat the
seeds. Poke greens should be picked early in the spring before
they get over 4-6" high. Boil in two changes of water before
using in your recipe.

Seed germination for
citron melon and watermelons:
There is no seed dormancy in cultivated seed- and watermelons,
but germination is retarded under high temperature regimes.
Germination can be accelerated by pre-soaking in water for 24
hours after scarifying the seed at one end, especially for
cultivars which have a hard seed coat. Seed germinates best at
temperatures of 17°C at night and 32°C at daytime and also at a
constant temperature of 22°C. It will not germinate at
temperatures below 15°C. Light has an inhibitory effect. (van
der Vossen et al., 2004)
Growth, development and pollination:
Seed will remain viable for at least 8 years when stored dry at
temperatures below 18°C. Emergence of the seedling takes 5–7
days. Cotyledons unfold after 10–12 days and the first true leaf
appears one week later. In egusi melon lateral branches are
produced on the main stem from node 4–6 and the first male
flower is formed on node 8–11 at 35–50 days after sowing, the
first female flowers on node 15–25 at 45–60 days after sowing.
In watermelon both the first male and female flowers are formed
somewhat later. The first female flowers often have poorly
developed ovaries and fail to set fruit. Flowering peaks 50–80
days after germination. Flowers open shortly after sunrise and
remain open only one day. Pollination occurs in the morning and
is done by insects, predominantly bees. Ample deposition of
pollen on all three stigmas is necessary for regular fruit
development. Within 24 hours after pollination the pedicel
starts to elongate and bends downward with the swelling ovary.
The fruits of watermelon are mature 30–50 days after
pollination. At maturity the green fruit stalk turns brown.
