RESULTS  OF  SEED  TESTS 
Made  July  1,  1950,  to  June  30,  1951 

This  report  contains  the  results  of  the  seed  inspection  work  for  the 
State  Department  of  Agriculture  of  682  official  samples  collected  throughout 
the  state  during-  the  period  from  July  1,  1950,  to  June  30,  1951,  by  Mr. 
George  Laramie,  Seed  Control  Supervisor,  and  Mr.  Harold  Ayer,  Inspector. 
In  addition  to  these  official  samples,  1848  private  samples  were  analyzed, 
making  a  total  of  2530  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  agri- 
cultural and  vegetable  seeds  must  be  labeled  with  the  calendar  month  and 
year  when  last  tested  for  germination,  and  requires  that  this  germination 
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  prescribed  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  189  samples  of  agricultural  seed 
tested  for  purity,  germination  and  noxious  weed  content.  There  is  a  toler- 
ance or  allowable  variation  from  the  guarantee  for  both  purity  and  germi- 
nation, in  accordance  with  the  Pailes  for  Seed  Testing  adopted  by  the 
Association  of  Official  Seed  Analysts,  so  that,  for  instance  a  sample  of 
timothy  guaranteed  99.20  for  purity  and  85%  for  germination  could  test 
as  low  as  98.25%  for  purity  and  77%  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  therefore  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  493  samples  of  vegetable  seeds 
which  were  tested  for  germination  only.  The  New  Hampshire  seed  law  re- 
quires 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  being  marked  with  a 
guarantee,  which  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  "f"  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  thereunder, 
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 

Te  Regulate  the  Labeling-,   Sale  and  Offering-  or  Exposing  for  Sale,   of

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  teiTn  "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  gener- 
ally 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  defined: 
provided,  that  the  commissioner  of  agriculture  may  add  to  or  subtract  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  destruc- 
tive 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  MTitten, 
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

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  in- 
formation as  set  forth  in  sections  3  and  4. 

3.  Agricultural  Seeds.  For  agricultural  seeds  the  following  is 
required :

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  regu- 
lations governing  the  methods  of  sampling,  inspecting,  analysis,  tests,  and 
examination  of  agricultural  and  vegetable  seed,  and  the  tolerances  to  be 
followed  in  the  administration  hereof,  which  shall  be  in  general  accord

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  withdraw  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 
be  necessary  to  comply  with  these  provisions. 

VI.  To  make  or  provide  for  making  purity  and  germination  tests

diction in  the  area  in  which  the  seed  is  located  shall  cause  the  seizure  and 
subsequent  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  de- 
naturing, processing,  or  destruction  be  ordered  without  first  having  given 
the  claimant  of  said  seed  an  opportunity  to  apply  to  said  court  for  the  re- 
lease 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  here-

the  state. 

12.  Publication.  The  commissioner  of  agriculture  shall  publish,  or 
cause  to  be  published,  the  results  of  tests  and  analyses  of  samples  of 
agricultural  and  vegetable  seeds,  as  herein  provided,  tog-ether  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  advis- 
able concerning  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,  difl^icult  to  sample  with  a  probe  or  trier,  shall  be 
sampled  by  thrusting  the  hand  into  the  bulk  and  withdrawing  repre- 
sentative 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  unto  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  un- 
opened 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  ex- 
amination and  the  percentages  stated  on  the  tag  accompanying  the  seed : 

For  purity:  Allowing  "a"  to  represent  the  component  being  con- 
sidered and  "b"  the  difl"erence  between  that  percentage  and  100,  according 
to  the  following  formula: 

8 


(  a  X  b  ) 

Pure  seed  tolerance  =  0.6+    (  0.2x ) 

(  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 
agricultural  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)  Tim.othy 
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. 

Free  Testing 

The  Seed  Testing  Laboratory  will  allow  two  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  October,  November, 
December  and  January,  This  number  of  samples,  not  including  mixtures, 
may  be  analyzed  either  for  purity  or  for  germination,  or  one  sample  for 
both  purity  and  germination,  free  of  charge.  A  given  seed  com.pany  will 
be  entitled  to  two  private  tests  without  charge,  but  not  two  from  each 
branch  store.  For  numbers  in  excess  of  two,  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  vegetable  seeds,  30  cents ; 

Germination  tests  of  all  agricultural  crop  seeds  and  grasses,  50  cents ; 

Germination  tests  of  mixtures,  50  cents  for  each  kind  of  seed  present ; 

Purity  analyses  of  cereals,  timothy  and  larger  crop  seeds  and  legumes, 

$1.00; 

Purity  analyses  of  small  grasses,  $2.00 ;  unhulled  redtop,  $2.50 ; 

Purity  analyses  of  mixtures,  including  those  for  lawn  and  pasture  seed- 
ing, a  charge  sufficient  to  cover  the  actual  cost  of  working  the  sample  sub- 
mitted for  test,  minimum  charge  of  $2.50. 

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. 

Germination  Standards  for  Vegetable  Seed. 

Following  are  the  germination  standards  established  by  the  commis- 
ssioner  of  agriculture  pertaining  to  Section  four  of  the  act  entitled  Vege- 
table Seeds.

The  law  states  that  "each  separate  container  of  agricultural  or  vege- 
table seed,  including  seeds  in  small  packets,  shall  be  labeled";  but  if  a 
dealer  has  bulk  lots  of  seeds  exposed  for  sale  and  these  bulk  lots  are 
properly  labeled,  he  shall  not  be  required  to  copy  the  information  from,  the 
label  on  to  each  individual  bag  in  which  he  delivers  small  lots  of  this  bulk 
seed  over  the  counter  to  customers.
