Such terms as Grade No. L, ' Grade No. And '(irade No. If used by a reliable seed firm, would mean much to the purchaser.

Seed Testing Stations - T he idea of establishing seed testing stations with a view to improve the quality of seeds sold, as well as to safeguard the interests of agriculture, is not a new one. Seed testing stations have been established in most of the leading European countries. Such stations usually form a branch of the agricultural experi ment stations, but in a few cases separate establishments have been started solely for the purpose of seed testing.
