THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



How Pure Seeds arc Secured 



The great care that is being taken by some 

 of our loading seedsmen to ensure the send, 

 ing out to their customers of nothing but 

 pure seed was illustrated recently to a rep- 

 resentative of The Canadian Horticu lti-r- 

 18T who called at the store of J. A. Simmers, 

 King street, Toronto. 



A number of employees were noticed at 

 work sorting seed by hand. The seed in 

 question was being hand picked, and all 

 poor seeds discarded. >Ieniion being made 

 of the work involved in such a process led 

 Mr. Hermann Simmers to show our repre- 

 sentative through the establishment. In 

 the upper part of the building germination 

 tests are conducted in the open air as well 

 as under glass. Samples of seeds are care- 

 fully counted and planted in soil under 

 label, and a record is kept of the percentage 

 that germinate. In addition to the above 

 method, the most up-to-date seed germina- 

 tors are used for indoor testing, including 

 such as those used by the seed division of 

 the Dominion Department of Agriculture. 



In order that all the seeds may be thor- 

 oughly clean, they are all put through fan- 

 ning mills, varying from small hand mills 

 to power mills, according to the seed to be 

 cleaned. 



Large seeds, such as peas, beans, etc., are 

 hand picked whenever necessary. The ex- 

 pense involved in the work is very heavy. 

 "We believe," said Mr. Simmers, "that 

 the public now recognizes how essential it 

 is that nothing but the best possible quality 

 of seed shall be sown and that the seedsmen 

 who recognize this fact and who endeavor 

 to furnish such seed will be repaid. Foj 

 that reason we are putting forth every pos- 

 sible effort to ensure the seed we send out 

 being absolutely pure."
