The " per cent, value " of a sample of seed is obtained by multiplying its per 

 cent, (by weight) of pure seed into the per cent, (by number) found, or able, to 

 germinate, and dividing by 100. It refers the number of seeds found, or able, to 

 germinate, from "pure seed" back upon the sample itself, in terms of per cent. 

 In case of perennials only it takes account of ^ of the unsprouted sound seeds, the 

 proportion which, on an average of many observations, has been found to ger- 

 minate under favorable conditions.
