Table III. — Showing Number of Samples of Seed Purity and Germi- 

 nation 'Tests made, and Seed Separation Work done, at the Station 

 since 1^09. 



This table ii'ivcs some idea of the increased interest manifested 

 in seed work by the farmers and market gardeners of the State. 

 Xearly 2,000 tests have been made for germination. 255 tests 

 for purity, and 752 separations made. The total weight of seeds 

 separated is 11,359 ponnds. It nuist be remembered that all 

 the seeds separated were small, particularly tobacco seed, of 

 which it requires a great many to make a ])(>und. A record of 

 th(; number of samples, with the average, maximum and mini- 

 mum germination of onion, tobacco and celery seed, is shown 

 in Table I\".
