SEED INSPECTION 



Explanation of Tables 



Tables 1-3 contain seeds, the sale of which is regulated by Chapter 94 as 

 amended by Chapter 377 of the Acts of 1946: Table 1, Agricultural Seeds as 

 defined under Section 261 Bl; Table 2, Mixtures of Agricultural Seeds as de- 

 fined under Section 261 Bl ; and Table 3, Vegetable Seeds only, under provisions 

 of Section 261 B2 and 261 C. 



All samples were taken by an inspector from the State Department of Agri- 

 culture and were tested at the Seed Laboratory according to the Rules for Seed 

 Testing adopted by the Association of Ofiicial Seed Analysts, 



Within each table the wholesalers are listed in alphabetical order and the 

 various kinds of seeds sold by them follow the same alphabetical arrangement. 

 Mislabeling and other irregularities are emphasized by boldface type and ex- 

 plained in the final column of the table. The number preceding each analysis 

 is for identification and reference. The line to the right of the letter "L" gives 

 information copied from the label; that to the right of "F" what was found in 

 the laboratory analysis. 



Table 4 is a summary, by wholesalers, of the total number of samples tested, 

 showing how many were correctly labeled and how many were mislabeled.
