RESULTS OF SEED TESTS
Made July 1, 1947, to June 30, 1948
This report contains the results of seed inspection work for the State
Department of Agriculture. It includes the inspection of 448 official
samples collected throughout the state during the period from July 1,
1947, to June 30, 1948, by Mr. George Laramie, Seed Control Supervisor,
and Mr. Vincent Peterson, Inspector. In addition to these official samples,
2,535 private samples were analyzed, making a total of 2,983 samples
inspected.
Wholesalers are listed in alphabetical order except when samples are
presumed to have been carried over, in which case they are listed alpha-
betically by dealers. The New Hampshire seed law requires that both
agricultural and vegetable seeds must be labeled with the calendar month
and year when last tested for germination, and requires that this germina-
tion test shall have been completed within nine months of being offered
for sale. In the following tables, if the date of test was within the pre-
scribed nine months, the sample is marked satisfactory, "S" in this respect ;
if no date was given, the word "None" appears, indicating a violation ; if
the date was a violation of the law because the test was not made within
nine months, the date given on the tag or label appears in that column.
The first part of the report deals with 132 samples of agricultural
seed tested for purity, germination, and noxious weed content. There is
a tolerance or allowable variation from the guarantee for both purity and
germination, in accordance with the Rules for Seed Testing adopted by
the Association of Official Seed Analysts ; for instance, a sample of timothy
guaranteed 99.20' ^ for purity and 85'/^ for germination could test as low
as 98.25 9f for purity and 11 ^4 for germination and be "satisfactory."
If a sample, when tested for purity, falls within the allowable variation,
it is marked "S" (satisfactory) ; if below the allowable variation, and there-
fore a violation, the actual figure found for purity is given. The same
is true for germination in the case of agricultural seeds.
The second part of the report applies to 316 samples of vegetable
seeds which were tested for germination only. The New Hampshire seed
law requires that unless each packet or other container is plainly marked
"Below Standard" together with the percentage of germination, vegetable
seeds must test up to the prescribed standard for that kind of seed, and
that there is no tolerance from the adopted standards. In the column
headed "Found" if the same was up to standard, an "S" (satisfactory)
appears. The exception to this is in the case of a given sample which is
marked with a guarantee. This figure is not required if vegetable seed is
up to standard ; then, if the seed is found to be below the regular tolerance
from that guaranteed figure, the figure found upon test followed by "^"
is listed as "mislabeled" even though it might in some cases be up to
standard.
The New Hampshire seed law and the rules and regulations there-
under, including the germination standards for vegetable seed, follow:
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
CHAPTER 224, REVISED LAWS
(As inserted by Chapter 54 Laws of 1943)
AN ACT
To Regulate the Labeling, Sale and Offering or Exposing for Sale, of
Agrciultural and Vegetable Seeds.
Agricultural and Vegetable Seeds
1. Definitions. Terms used in this chapter shall be construed as
follows :
I. The term "agricultural seeds" shall include the seeds of grass,
forage, cereal and fiber crops and any other kinds of seeds commonly
recognized within this state as agricultural or field seeds, and mixtures of
such seeds.
II. The term "vegetable seeds" shall include the seeds of those
crops which are grown in gardens or on truck farms and are generally
known and sold under the name of vegetable seeds in this state.
III. The term "weed seeds" shall include the seeds of all plants gen-
erally recognized as weeds within this state, and shall include noxious
weed seeds.
IV. Noxious weed seeds shall be divided into two classes, "primary
noxious weed seeds" and "secondary noxious weed seeds" as herein de-
fined ; provided, that the commissioner of agriculture may add to or sub-
tract from the list of seeds included under either definition whenever he
finds that such additions or subtractions are within the respective
definitions.
V. "Primary noxious weed seeds" shall include the seeds of
perennial weeds such as those that reproduce and spread by underground
roots or stems as well as by seed, and which, when established, are highly
destructive and difficult to control in this state by ordinary good cultural
practice. Primary noxious weed seeds in this state are the seeds of:
Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis),
and quackgrass (Agropyron repens).
VI. "Secondary noxious weed seeds" shall include the seeds of
such weeds as are very objectionable in field, lawns, or gardens of this
state, but can be controlled by good cultural practices. The secondary
noxious weed seeds in this state are the seeds of: dodder (Cuscuta spp.)
and crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis) .
VII. The term "labeling" includes all labels, and other written,
printed, or graphic representations, in any form whatsoever, accompany-
ing and pertaining to any seed whether in bulk or in containers, and in-
cludes invoices.
VIII. The term "advertisement'' means all representations, other
than those on the label, disseminated in any manner or by any means,
relating to seed within the scope of this chapter,
2. Label Requirement. Each separate container of agricultural or
vegetable seed, including seeds in small packets, which is sold, offered for
sale, or exposed for sale, within this state for sowing purposes shall bear
thereon or have attached thereto in a conspicuous place a plainly written
or printed label or tag in the English language, giving the information as
set forth in sections 3 and 4.
3. Agricultural Seeds. For agricultural seeds the following is
required :
I. Commonly accepted name of kind, or kind and variety, of each
agricultural seed component in excess of five per cent of the whole and the
percentage by weight of each. Where more than one component is re-
quired to be named, the word "mixture" or "mixed" shall be associated
with the name on the label.
II. Lot number or other lot identification.
III. Origin, if known, of alfalfa, red clover and field corn (except
hybrid corn). If the origin is unknown, that fact shall be stated.
IV. Percentage by weight of all weed seeds, including those known
as noxious weeds.
V. Secondary noxious weeds. The name and approximate number
of each kind of secondary noxious weed seed, per ounce in groups (A)
and (B) and per pound in groups (C) and (D), when present singly or
collectively in excess of —
(A) One seed or bulblet in each 5 grams of Agrostis spp., Poa
spp., Rhodes grass, Bermuda grass, timothy, orchard grass, fescues (ex-
cept meadow fescue), alsike and white clover, reed canary grass, Dallis
grass, and other agricultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixtures

specified in (A), (B), or (D) ;
(D) One seed or bulblet in each 100 grams of wheat, oats, rye,
barley, buckwheat, sorghums (except Sudan grass), vetches, and other
agricultural seeds of a size and weight similar to or greater than those
within this group, or any mixtures within this group.
All determinations of noxious weed seeds are subject to tolerances
and methods of determination prescribed in the rules and regulations
under this chapter.
VI. Percentage by weight of agricultural seeds other than those
required to be named on the label.
VII. Percentage by weight of inert matter.
VIII. For each named agricultural seed, percentage of germina-
tion, exclusive of hard seed, percentage of hard seed, if present, and the
calendar month and year the test was completed to determine such
percentages.
IX. Name and address of the person who labeled said seed, or who
sells, offers, or exposes said seed for sale within this state.
4. Vegetable Seeds. For vegetable seeds, the following is required:
I. Name of kind and variety of seed, and the calendar month and
year when last tested for germination.
II. For seeds which germinate less than the standard last estab-
lished by the commissioner of agriculture hereunder, and in type not

seed ; percentage of hard seed, if present ; and the words "below standard."
III. Name and address of the person who labeled said seed, or
who sells, offers or exposes said seed for sale within this state.
5. Illegal Sales. It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, offer
for sale or expose for sale any agricultural or vegetable seed within this
state :
I. Unless the test to determine the percentage of germination
required by sections 3 and 4 shall have been completed within a nine-
month period, exclusive of the calendar month in which the test was com-
pleted, immediately prior to sale, exposure for sale, or offering for sale or
transportation.
II. Not labeled in accordance with the provisions hereof, or having
a false or misleading labeling.

7 Exemptions. The provisions of sections 2 to 6, inclusive, do not
apply to seed or grain not intended for sowing purposes, nor to seed in
storage in, or consigned to, a seed cleaning or processmg establishment
for cleaning or processing, provided, that any labeling or other represen-
tation which may be made with respect to the unclean seed shall be subject
to the provisions hereof.
8 Exceptions. No person shall be subject to the penalties hereof
for having sold, offered or exposed for sale in this state any agricultural
or vegetable seeds, which were incorrectly labeled or represented as to
kind, variety, or origin which seeds cannot be identified by examination
thereof, unless he has failed to take all proper precautions to insure the
identity to be that stated in accordance with rules and regulations
hereunder.
9. Duties and Authority of Commissioner of Agriculture. The com-
missioner of agriculture, who may act through his authorized agents, shall
have the power;
I. To sample, inspect, make analyses of, and test, agricultural and
vegetable seeds transported, sold, offered or exposed for sale within this
state for sowing purposes, at such time and place and to such extent as
he may deem necessary to determine whether said agricultural or vegetable
seeds are in compliance with the provisions hereof, and to notify promptly
the person who transported, sold, offered or exposed the seed for sale, of
any violation.
II. To prescribe, and after public hearing to adopt, rules and
regulations governing the methods of sampling, inspecting, analysis, tests,

to be followed in the administration hereof, which shall be in general
accord with officially prescribed practice in interstate commerce, and such
other rules and regulations as may be necessary to secure the efficient
enforcement hereof.
III. To enter upon any public or private premises during regular
business hours in order to have access to seeds subject to this chapter and
the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder.
IV. To issue written or printed "stop sale" orders which shall
prohibit further sale of any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed which
the commissioner has reason to believe is in violation of any of the pro-
visions hereof until the law has been complied with or said violation other-
wise legally disposed of: Provided, that no "stop sale" order shall be
issued or attached to any lot of seed without first giving the owner or
custodian of such seed an opportunity to comply with the law or to with-
draw the seed from sale.
V. To establish and maintain or make provision for seed testing
facilities, to employ qualified persons, and to incur such expenses as may

culture or his duly authorized agents, the court of competent jurisdiction
in the area in which the seed is located shall cause the seizure and subse-
quent denaturing, processing, or destruction to prevent the use for sowing
purposes of any lot of agricultural or vegetable seed found to be unfit for
sowing purposes: Provided, that in no instances shall the denaturing,
processing, or destruction be ordered without first having given the claim-
ant of said seed an opportunity to apply to said court for the release of
said seed.
11. Penalties. Whoever violates any of the provisions of this chap-
ter or any rule or regulation promulgated hereunder shall be fined not
exceeding one hundred dollars for the first offense and not exceeding two
hundred and fifty dollars for each subsequent offense. Fines collected
hereunder shall be paid, by the court collecting the same, to the commis-
sioner of agriculture and In' him forwarded to the state treasurer foi- the
use of the state.

cause to be published, the results of tests and analyses of samples of agri-
cultural and vegetable seeds, as herein provided, together with the names
and addresses of the persons from whom the samples of seed were obtained.
He may publish such other information as he may deem advisable con-
cerning the value, character and use of certain seeds.
13. Takes Effect. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
Approved March 10, 1943.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
Sampling.
(a) In order to secure a representative sample, equal portions shall
be taken from evenly distributed parts of the quantity of seed to be
sampled. Access shall be had to all parts of that quantity.
(b) For free-flowing seed in bags or bulk, a probe or trier shall be
used. For small free-flowing seed in bags, a probe or trier long enough
to sample all portions of the bag should be used.
(c) Non-free-flowing seed, such as certain grass seed, uncleaned
seed, or screenings, difficult to sample with a probe or trier, shall be
sampled by thrusting the hand into the bulk and withdrawing representa-
tive portions,
(d) The portions shall be combined into a composite sample or
samples.
(e) As the seed is sampled, each portion shall be examined, and,
whenever there appears to be a lack of uniformity, additional samples
shall be taken to show such lack of uniformity as may exist.
Bulk seeds shall be sampled by inserting a long probe or thrusting
the hand into the bulk as circumstances require in several uniformly dis-
tributed parts of the quantity being sampled.
Bags. (1) In quantities of five bags or less, each bag shall be
sampled.
(2) In quantities of more than five bags, at least every fifth bag but
not less than five bags shall be sampled. Samples shall be drawn from
unopened bags except under circumstances where the identity of the seed
has been preserved.
In sampling packet seeds, entire unopened packets shall be taken.
Size of sample. The following are minimum weights of samples of
seed to be submitted for analysis, test, or examination:
(1) Two ounces of grass seed not otherwise mentioned, white or
alsike clover, or seeds not larger than these.
(2) Five ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, ryegrass, brome-
grasses, millet, flax, rape, or seeds of similar size.
(3) Two pounds of cereals, vetches, or seeds of similar or larger size.
(4) Two quarts of screenings.
Analysis.
The New Hampshire seed laboratory will be guided in making purity
and germination tests by the rules and regulations prescribed under the
Federal Seed Act.
Tolerance.
Owing to the natural variation between tests, the following tolerances
shall be allowed between the percentages found by analysis, test or exam-
ination and the percentages stated on the tag accompanying the seed :
8
For purity: Allowing "a" to represent the component being consid-
ered and "b" the difference between that percentage and 100, according
to the following formula:
( a X b )
Pure seed tolerance— 0.6 4- ( 0.2 .\ )
' ( 100 )
a sample of timothy guaranteed 99.20 would have an allowable variation
of .75 or could test as high as 99.95 or as low as 98.45 and be "satisfactory."
For germination: The following tolerances are applicable:
Healthy sprouts found by test in each 100 seeds Tolerance
96 or over 5
90 or over but less than 96 6
80 or over but less than 90 7
70 or over but less than 80 8
60 or over but less than 70 9
Less than 60 10
Therefore, a sample of seed guaranteed 85 % for germination may be as
high as 92';^ or as low as 78' < and be "satisfactory
>>
For weed seeds: The law requires in the labeling of agricultural
seed (1) that the percentage of all weed seeds present shall be shown on
the tag, (2) that no primary noxious weed seeds shall be present in the
sample, and (3) that secondary noxious weed seeds shall be given by name
and approximate number, per ounce in groups (A) and (B) and per pound
in groups (C) and (D), when present singly or collectively in excess of —
(A) One seed or bulblet in each 5 grams of Agrostis species, Poa
species, Rhodes grass, Bermuda grass, timothy, orchard grass, fescues
(except meadow fescue), alsike and white clover, reed canary grass, Dallis
grass, and other agricultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixtures
within this group;
(B) One seed or bulblet in each 10 grams of ryegrass, meadow fescue,
foxtail millet, alfalfa, red clover, sweetclovers, lespedezas, smooth brome.
crimson clover, Brassica species, flax, Agropyron species, and other agri-
cultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixtures within this group,
or of this group with (A) ;
(C) One seed or bulblet in each 25 grams of proso, Sudan grass and
other agricultural seeds of similar size and weight, or mixtures not
specified in (A), (B), or (D) ;
(D) One seed or bulblet in each 100 grams of wheat, oats, rye, barley,
buckwheat, sorghum (except Sudan grass), vetches, and other agricultural
seeds of a size and weight similar to or greater than those within this
group, or any mixtures within this group.
Certain tolerances are allowed, however, to provide for variations and
unavoidable errors, but only within very narrow limits and for which there
is always a standard formula for computation. Examples: (1) Timothy
guaranteed only 2 per cent weed seeds will not be condemned if it has a
2.59 per cent. (2) No primary noxious weed seeds are allowed, but the
presence of two such seeds in 50 grams of timothy would not be considered
a violation. (3) Similarly, some slight variation from the minimum re-
quirement for labeling secondary noxious weed seeds will be passed as
satisfactory.
9
Free Testing.
The Seed Testing Laboratory will allow six free tests, in a given year,
to any resident company or person of New Hampshire, but such seeds
must be received in the laboratory during the months of November, De-
cember, January and February. This number of samples, not including
mixtures, may be analyzed either for purity or for germination, or three
samples for both purity and germination, free of charge. A given seed
company will be entitled to six private tests without charge, but not six
from each branch store. For numbers in excess of six, a charge will be
made for labor and consumable supplies only, the amount depending on
the type of sample according to the following schedule:
Germination tests of all crop seeds, including timothy, clovers and
alfalfa, 25 cents each ;
Germination tests of all grasses except timothy, 50 cents each ;
Germination tests of mixtures, 25 cents for each kind of seed present ;
Purity analyses of cereals like corn and oats, 50 cents each ; and of
timothy, 75 cents each ;
Purity analyses of all other kinds of crop seeds, except grasses, 75
cents each ;
Purity analyses of the smaller grass seeds and of all mixtures of not
more than two kinds of agricultural seeds, $1.00 each;
All purity analyses of special mixtures, including those for lawn and
pasture seeding, a charge sufficent to cover the actual cost of working the
sample submitted for test, minimum charge of $1.25.
Such private samples of seed to be tested should be drawn in such a
way as to be representative of the bulk lot from which they are taken,
and should be addressed to the State Seed Testing Laboratory, Durham,
New Hampshire. Such private tests cannot be declared as state official
tests unless drawn by a representative of the department of agriculture,
as provided in Chapter 224 of the Public Laws. Fees must be paid before
reports will be sent out.
The minimum weights of samples to be submitted for analysis are:
1. Two ounces of grass seed, white or alsike clover, or seeds not
larger than these.
2. Five ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, rye grasses, millet,
rape, or seeds of similar size.
3. One pound of cereal, vetches or seeds of similar or larger size.
The minimum number of seeds of any one kind to be submitted for
a germination test is 400.
