vegetable seed
Usage examples
  • Viability, or ability to grow, and longevity, the period of viability, are characteristics of seeds of any vegetable kind. In cool, dry storage conditions, those vegetable seeds having comparatively short longevity of one to two years are okra, onion, parsley, and sweet corn. Seeds having three-year longevity are those of the asparagus, bean, carrot, leek, and pea; four-year longevity is characteristic of the beet, chard, pepper, pumpkin, and tomato seeds; longevity of five years characterizes the seeds of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, muskmelon, radish, spinach, squash, turnip, and watermelon. The dry seeds of all vegetables, when packed under vacuum in hermetically sealed cans, should remain viable for a longer period than seeds stored under less protective conditions.
