A wider tolerance for germination than for purity is 

 allowed between the results of the test and the guaran- 

 tee, as follows: 



Accordingly, a sample guaranteed 92% germination 

 is "satisfactory" if it tests 86% to 98%. A sample 

 guaranteed 85% may fall as low as 78% or as high 

 as 92%. If a sample tests higher than the per cent of 

 variation allowed it is marked "Above" in this bulletin 

 or, if it tests below the variation allowed, the actual 

 figure is reported. 



The summary table on the last page will show the 

 general results of the seed inspection work for the 

 year ending June 30, 1932. 



It is gratifying to note that during the past three 

 years the percentage of seeds found below, both in 

 purity and in germination, has been steadily decreasing, 

 as shown in the following table:
