Germination shall mean the percentage of seeds

“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 
containing in excess of 1.5% of troublesome

in excess of 20% of inert matter. These are 
subject to removal from sale. 
Seed stocks showing less than one-half the so- 
called 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- 
nection with any kind of seed corn unless such
