SEED INSPECTION 



All lots of seed included in this report were tested according to the rules for Seed 

 Testing adopted by the Association of Official Seed Analysts. 



"Tolerance" is applied to both purity and germination, except in those tables 

 which list seeds falling under sections of the law not requiring purity or germina- 

 tion on the label. For the application of "Purity Tolerance", the sample is con- 

 sidered as made up of two component parts: (1) the component being con- 

 sidered, and (2) the balance of the sample. The tolerance in percentage allowed 

 for each component shall be two-tenths of one per cent (0.2%) plus twenty per 

 cent (20%) of the lesser of the two parts. "Germination Tolerance" has been 

 applied between a given germination and the result of the germination test as 

 follows: 



GIVEN GERMINATION ALLOWABLE VARIATION (%) 



90 or over 6 



80 or over, but less than 90 7 



70 or over, but less than 80 8 



60 or over, but less than 70 9 



Less than 60 10 



After December 31, 1938, no tolerance will be allowed for vegetable seed below 

 the minimum germination standards adopted.
