ADULTERATED SEED REPORT. 



Following the instructions of congress 

 in the agricultural appropriation bill, 

 the Secretary of Agriculture this year 

 continued the purchase of seed in the 

 open market to determine whether and 

 how much adulteration was practiced 

 by seed dealers. These samples were 

 analyzed and the names of offending 

 seedsmen have been published as Circu- 

 lar No. 35. 



There were 1,214 samples of seed pur- 

 chased, some of them in bulk and some 

 by mail order. Of these 204 were found 

 to be adulterated. There was some im- 

 provement in the line of orchard grass 

 seed examined. There were 317 sam- 

 ples analyzed, and of these twelve were 

 found adulterated, compared with fifty- 

 five adulterated samples the previous 

 year. 



Of the 371 samples of Kentucky blue- 

 grass seed examined, sixteen were adul- 

 terated, and of these thirteen samples 

 contained- only a fraction of one per 

 cent of genuine Kentucky bluegrass, 

 while the remainder was made up of 

 Canadian bluegrass, other seed and dirt. 



This was the first year that analysis 

 had been made of redtOp seed. It was 

 found that this was badly adulterated 

 with timothy seed. Of 526 samples, 176 

 were advijterated. The percentage of 

 timottyticeed ran as high as ninety*'- 

 eight par ced>t, though this sample was 

 - wors^ than the average. ^ . • TJiitii
