that they are almost unworkable. This 

 means a big delay in the tnaiuring of the 

 crop and will carry it over into the sea-

 bring the crop all in together, so that 

 the packers will be unable to take care of 

 it, promptly and profitably.." .

SEED TESTING IN ZTJBICH. 



Tbe Swiss Govenunent Station. 



Probably there is not a seedsman 

 worthy of the name anywhere in the 

 world who does not know of the seed 

 testing station of the Swiss government, 

 at Zvrich. But just what is done there 

 is not so well known. The following 

 extracts from an article, by James 

 Long, which has been going the rounds 

 of the European press, tell the story

 thousands of samples annually over a 

 period of thirty-six years, as now tab- 

 ulated, have given a value to the stand- 

 ard of purity and germination which 

 does not exist elsewhere. During this 

 long period seeds of 150 varieties of 

 plants have been examined, and it is.
