SEED INSPECTION 



17 



Results of Inspection and Germination of Vegetable Seeds 

 Section 261 D 



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

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

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

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



Nine hundred and fifty three 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-five 

 samples, not shown in the table, were found to be above standard and thus com- 

 plied with the law, but were below the germination stated on the label. All 

 samples shown in the taible were below standard in germination. 



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.
