SEED INSPECTION 5 



Other deficiencies are enumerated as follows: 



(1) Noxious weeds not declared but found excessive. 



(2) Old seed (as shown by given date or by correspondence with the whole- 

 saler). 



(3) Ingredient found, but not declared. 



(4) Ingredient declared, but not found. 



(5) Ingredient declared, but percentage found excessive after adding proper 

 tolerance to amount declared. 



(6) Term not specific. 



(7) Wholesaler claims this seed not sold by him, or at least not during cur- 

 rent year. 



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 considered, 

 and (2) the balance of the sample. The tolerance in percentage allowed for each 

 component shall be two-tenths of one percent (0.2%) plus twenty percent (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 (PERCENT) TOLERANCE (PERCEN T ( 



96 or over 



90 or over, but less than 96 6 



80 or over, but less than 90 



70 or over, but less than 80 



60 or over, but less than 70 



Less than 60 10 



No tolerance is allowed for vegetable seed below the minimum germination 

 standards adopted.
