Table 3. — Results of Inspection and Germination of Vegetable Seeds 

 Sections 261 B 2 and 261 C. 



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

 the kind o.' seed and variety and the name and address of the person who labeled 

 such seed or who sells, offers or exposes it for sale. For seeds which germinate 

 less than the Massachusetts Standard the label must also show the percentage 

 of germination exclusive of hard seeds, percentage of hard seeds if present, 

 calendar month and year the test was completed and the words "Below Standard" 

 in not less than 8 point type. Date of test shall not be over nine months old, 

 exclusive of the month in which the test was completed. Seed may not be sold 

 or offered for sale which has a false or misleading label. 



Five hundred and eighty-two 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. 



The wholesaler's name, in all instances, and the germination for those samples 

 of seed found below standard in germination are in boldface type. In samples 

 for which the found germination is not in boldface, the germination is above 

 standard but below the germination stated.
