Body

Commercial samples of harding-grass contained an appreciable number of immature seeds. These seeds were light green in color, generally lighter in weight, and after storage for some time had low viability. When care was taken to harvest only mature seed there was little relationship between seed weight and viability. Seeds from the lower portions of the panicles matured last and had a lower seed weight than those from the top.
