Forty SI families of suntlower (Helianmus annuus L.) developed from a random mated population were evaluated in the laboratory to determine the extent of relationship between seed weight and ten seedling traits. The results indicated that seed weight had significant negative phenotypic correlation with emergence. The estimates of phenotypic correlation coefficients of seed weight with fresh shoot weight and fresh shoot length were found to be significant and positive. The magnitude of genotypic correlation coefficients between seed weight and the seedling traits were little higher than their corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients. However, the genotypic correlation between seed weight and fresh shoot weight was positive and significant
