If clover seed were selling at $10 per bushel, what would be the value of the increased yield on ten acres of average Clover? Parts of the Ovule. — The ovule consists of a main body and a stalk known as the funiculus which connects to the ovary wall. The main body consists of a central (usually rounded) portion called nucellus, which is enclosed by one or more coverings called integuments that grow up from the funiculus. In Figure 40, showing the ovules of Clover, the stalk or funiculus is at st; the central portion or nucellus of the main body is at n; the coverings or integuments of the nucellus are at i. Turn to this Figure and point out these parts. In the ovule of the Corn, shown in Figure 41, the funiculus is apparently absent. In Figure 44 is shown a.
