| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - De Candolle says, that M. de Girardin succeeded in raising kidney-beans from seeds at least a hundred years old, taken out of the herbarium of Tournefort ; and I have myself raised raspberry plants from seeds found in an ancient coffin in a barrow in Dorsetshire, which seeds, from the coins and other relics met with near them, may be estimated to have been six-teen or seventeen hundred years old.?
