HIGH VITALITY SEED MUST BE PLANTED IN ORDER TO SECURE A GOOD STAND 
We have one of the most elaborate and up-to-date seed testing laboratories where samples of all our seed 
stocks are tested at regular intervals to insure our customers against planting low vitality seeds. 
A partial view of our seed testing laboratory showing a battery of seed testers. Here tests are made every 
six weeks of all seed stocks in our warehouse, mail order department and our seventeen distributing points.

laboratory under ideal conditions. We make corresponding tests in the soil so that we know at all times 
the correct germination of all seed stocks we have on hand. Seed stocks that are found to be falling in 
germination and will soon be too low to give a good stand, are immediately removed from our warehouse 
and distributing plants and are destroyed.
