Of the three factors which indicate quality in seed-purity, germination, and strain-germination is the one most fully appreciated by those trading in or sowing seed. Before germination can take place conditions must be suitable. The conditions can best be described as being suitable when there are present the required amounts of water, warmth, and air, and, with certain seeds, light. In the laboratory suitable conditions for each species are provided and the resulting germination figures show the maximum germination possible under ideal conditions.
