Seed Starting PhD: Germination Database derived from Norman Deno

Dr. Norman Deno is the Master of Seed Germination. He has self-published volumes on germinating virtually every seed that exists.
He's the man who invented/promoted what we call the "baggie method.

When I want scientific information on how to germinate a seed, I go to these databases by Tom Clothier that consolidate Deno's info:
