WE KNOW OUR SEEDS GROW 
The photograph above shows a germinator tray 
with sprouting seeds. This is one of the ways we 
test seeds for germination. In our well-equipped 
laboratory a full-time analyst is employed who is 
continually checking all lots of seed for purity 
and germination. Every package of seed is stamped 
with a code letter and number and we can give 
you our laboratory test on any lot of seed if you 
wil give us this number. All field seeds are 
shipped with a tag bearing our laboratory test both 
for purity and germination.
