SEED INSPECTION 33 



tor the first tinir in the many years that radishes have been field tested there 

 were no violations. All packets and labels bore the correct name as found from 

 the field performance. Most varieties performed very well. All lots of ("hcrry Bel'e 

 including the authentic check, however, were not too satisfactory. 



Seventy-seven lots of carrots were also planted on May 2.3rd. Each lot was planted 

 in rows fifteen feet long and three feet apart. Each lot was duplicated at random in 

 the field, and for each variety an authentic check sample was also duplicated at 

 random in the carrot plantings. Due to a heavy soil packing rainstorm which caused 

 only fair germination the carrots were replanted on June 19th. The records and 

 observations that could not be made from the first planting due to a poor stand of 

 plants were later obtained from the second planting. 



Although the carrots as a whole were not as desirable as one would hope for there 

 was only one definite violation as to type- No. C-331 Chantenay Red Cored whole- 

 saled by Woodruff's Triple "T" and retailed by Rome Bros., Hardware Co., Rockland, 

 Mass., was not at all a Chantenay Red Cored carrot, but rather more of the Dan- 

 vers type.
