The above table shows, that Rice's seeds were the best, that 

 Duulap's were second, Atwood's next and Lyman's much below 

 the others and very poor. Rice's seeds were all good. Dunlap's 

 seeds were all good excepting the celery. Leaving this out the 

 others are nearly equal to Rice's. Atwood's cabbage and radish 

 seed were the poorest tested and very poor. Leaving those out 

 the others make a better showing, though inferior to either Rice's 

 or Dunlap's. Lyman's cabbage seeds were the best tested and his 

 radish seeds next best, but all the others were poor and none of 

 the lettuce, parsnip and onion seed sprouted. 



Among the seeds obtained from Aroostook County were some 

 put up by the above dealers which has enabled us to farther test 

 their quality. Lyman's seeds are not sold to any extent in 

 Aroostook County. Those of Parker & Wood and Delano Moore, 

 Presque Isle, Me., and Oscar Holloway, Auburn, Me., are sold. 

 They are included in the table given below :
