18 N. H. EXPERIMENT STATION [Bulletin 186 



Although the law makes no provision for the expenses of the 

 seed tests, the Department of Agriculture has arranged with 

 the Experiment Station to have the tests made free of charge 

 to all dealers and farmers resident in the state. 



SENDING OF SAMPLES. 



Samples sent to the Experiment Station for testing should be 

 enclosed in a strong paper envelope and securely fastened. 

 They should not be sent in bottles or glass jars, owing to the 

 danger of breakage. When a number of samples are to be 

 sent they should be put up securely in a single package and 

 forwarded either by parcel post or by express. Each sample 

 sent in should be marked as follows: 



Name and address of sender. 



Date of sending. Kind of seed. 



Brand name (if any), and number of package. 



Purity or gennination test desired (one or both). 



Write a letter stating the number and kind of samples sent 

 so that their receipt may be promptly acknowledged. 



Address all samples and communications regarding the same 

 to F. W. Taylor, Experiment Station, Durham, N. H.
