of the seed must be lodged within a week; those on the 
germination within a month; those on the trueness of the 
purity of the strain within 6 months; all to count from the 
day of arrival at the destination.

where specified). The number of seedlings a pound of seed 
will produce will vary with the germinative ability of each 
species and the crop year.
