experience and observation. 
How Many Seeds Per Ounce? 
In reply to numerous requests we include with this catalog again 
the number of seeds per ounce of important items listed. For 
example; Abutilon Mixed—7000 S. means 7000 seeds per ounce. 
The figures are conservative and will vary with the season. Also 
note that it must include a varying percentage of immature seeds 
that are an inseparable part of most varieties. For this reason 
these figures must not be accepted as indicating the number of 
plants to be expected. Under favorable germinating conditions 
most large seeds will germinate 50 to 60 per cent. Most annuals 
will run some higher. Quite small seeds are more easily destroyed, 
therefore require more careful attention and the germination per¬ 
centage is usually lower.
