'•A well known seedsman rccontly 

 rciri.-irkcd to me that no tr;i(lo exists to 

 which ^i-oo<iwill is ot siudi vital inijior- 

 tance ;{s tlii' seed trade. I heartily 

 a>;ref. tor llii' seedsman is every hit as

Overestimating Real Worth. 



■"It was maintained and, so far at 

 any r.ite as reputalilo houses are con- 

 cerned, with truth, that seedsmen 

 ii:ihitii;i]l\' do for their own safeijuard- 

 iny all that tlii' f^ovcnimetit order in- 

 sists uiKni in re;;;iri| to seed te.stinj;. 

 Xo <;ood scedsiii.iii would risk his repu- 

 tation by sending' out seeds of had 

 yenniii.'ttiiij; eajialiility, but I fe;ir that 

 botli the fjoveriimeiit and ;i lar<;e pro- 

 jiortion of seedsnnii are dis]H)st>d to 

 overestimate the iral worth and im- 

 portance of sim])li' ui'rminat ion tests. 



''A hifjh pereentajie of <;erinination 

 does not aiw.ays indicate v.'iliie; indeed, 

 I venture io say it is not infre(|uently 

 a misleading- estim,-ite of tlie actual 

 worth of the st>ed. 



"Let us bear in mind tli.at. whefher 

 of \-efietables or flowers, our tinest and 

 best v;irieties are the result of hii^h 

 breediiij; and constant reselection .and 

 the liijiher the st.-ind.'ird of perfection 

 the weaker, in most cases, the vitality. 

 Once .nllow a good strain or choice 

 variety to deteriorate, or fall into re 

 version, and rude vitality returns, with 

 llie rt^sult that the seed will iXoi'"iiii''it '"
