CONTROL SERIES NO. 123 



Results of Inspection and Germination of Vegetable Seeds 

 Section 261D 



Each separate container of Vegetable Seeds must be labeled to plainly show 

 the kind of seed and variety; the percentage of germination, with the month and 

 year tested, provided the germination is below the Massachusetts Standard; and 

 the name and address of the vendor, packer, or processor. 



Eight hundred and eighty-seven samples of vegetable seeds were received and 

 tested in the laboratory; however, this table includes only such samples as were 

 found to be mislabeled with respect to requirements of the law. Thirty samples, 

 not shown in the table, were found to be above standard and thus complied with 

 the law but were below the germination stated on the label. 



Mislabeling with respect to any of the requirements listed above is indicated 

 by boldface type, and the wholesaler's name is in boldface type. "Wholesaler 

 Unknown" is applied to samples of seed which were purchased for a previous 

 season's sale but were offered for sale during the current season without having 

 been retested.
