Results of Inspection and Germination of Vegetable Seeds 

 Sections 261 B2 and 261 C. 



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

 the kind of 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 Stan- 

 dard" 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. 



Seven hundred and four samples of vegetable seeds were received and tested 

 in the laboratory; however, this table includes only those samples that were 

 found to be mislabeled with respect to requirements of 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 germination stated.
