of constitution which is much appre- 

 ciated by consumers. The effect of a 

 rigid standard of germination would 

 be that in seven seasons out of ten 

 Lincolnshire seed would be barred al- 

 together, and would be unsalable. 



"It makes no difference to the seeds- 

 man whether he procures the seed he 

 sells from farmers in England or 

 whether he procures it from abroad, 

 and if he is driven to supply only seed 

 of the highest germination he will be 

 compelled to deal in foreign seed, to 

 the detriment of the home trade and 

 the home producer. 



"Moreover, the germination test is 

 most misleading; many foreign seeds 

 of high germination produce in Eng- 

 land, and Lincolnshire especially, only 

 a very poor, weak crop. 



"The promoters of the bill can know 

 little about the subject, as they ask 

 that vegetable seeds shall be sold sub- 

 ject to analysis for impurities. Now, 

 the word is never heard in connection 

 with vegetable seeds, and no analysts 

 in this country or in any other have 

 received samples of vegetable seeds 

 for analysis. The reason of this is that 

 the seed grower gathers these seeds 

 by hand in small quantities and leaves 

 any weed seeds or other impurities be- 

 hind. Any legislation in this direction 

 is therefore quite unnecessary. As re- 

 gards root seeds, also, few complaints 

 are ever made in regard to impurities, 

 and it would be a ridiculous provision. 

 Root seeds are valued according to 

 their stock, pedigree and genuineness, 

 or ability to produce good crops, rather 

 than upon their germination and 

 purity. ' '
