Germination Tests 
The seeds offered in this catalogue were grown this last 
season (1935), After they are harvested and properly dried 
we test them to see if the vitality is good, discarding any 
which show low germination, after this we put them in pack¬ 
ages for sale. This must he done in Oct. Nov. and Dec. 1935 
so as to he ready to fill orders hy Jan. 1936. On each 
packet we mark the approximate germination and date of the 
test or year the seed was grown. If seed tests between 90 
and 100 per cent we mark it approximately 90 thus allowing 
a little for possible deterioration hy planting time.

with manure for the winter. Pour 
boiling water on the seeds. Let it 
stand 2 minutes, then pour it off 
before sowing. Plants will produce
