RIGID LABORATORY PROCEDURES—YOUR FINAL SAFEGUARD 
Viable seeds are living organisms—and to be considered top quality they must possess 
the ability to produce a high percentage of strong healthy plants, without contamination 
in the form of mixtures or objectionable weed seeds. For this reason we have spared no 
expense in staffing and equipping our seed-testing laboratories. Competitors and 
Government enforcement officials tell us they are among the most efficient in the 
country. 
Each lot of vegetable seed is not only tested for germination several times a year, but 
is also submitted to detailed purity analysis before being released for sale. Ferry-Morse 
germination standards and test frequencies are considerably stricter than is required by 
existing Federal and State regulations.
