simply corn, oats and alfalfa. 
Germination shall mean the percentage of seeds

used in such a way as to be misleading. 
“Seed unfit for seeding purposes’ shall be un- 
derstood to mean those lots which contain nox- 
ious weeds in excess of the average commercial 
grades for that particular season or mixtures

weeds or special lawn seed mixtures containing

subject to removal from sale. 
Seed stocks showing less than one-half the so- 
calied standard germination as accepted in seed 
control and seed trade practices shall be con- 
sidered too low in germination and unfit for 
sale. 
The term “hybrid” must not be used in con-
