Partial View of Bloomsdale Trial Ground, 1919. Seed Testing for Vitality and Purity Come see how it is done by Landreth after an experience in Trial Grounds of 136 years It will be observed that in the testing of Garden Seeds there are two standards aimed at, sprouting power and quality of crop, and it may be remarked that each are equally important. A want of Vitality or Sprouting power in the first place defeats the object of the gardener as without Vitality he does not have a crop, while on the second hand by a want of quality his efforts are also defeated if the character of the crop raised after his months of labor and patience prove to be MIXED or BAD. Really he had better plant unvital Seeds in the first instance and save his labor, expenses, disappointments and avoid the ridicule of the neighbors. Landreth's Seeds are tested both ways, for Vitality and Quality—for Vitality principally under glass, but largely too in the open garden to find out how many Seeds in one hundred germinate—in a few cases up to 100, on an average say 90, while 80 may be considered good.
