BREEDERS AND GROWERS 5 The Asgrow germination and analytical laboratory located at New Haven, Connecticut, is properly equipped and staffed to perform the functions mentioned above, both efficiently and effectively on a large scale. In order that we may handle a large number of samples at any one time, we use "room" germinators (Fig. 2, 4). These rooms are sealed with 2" to 3" of cork; the temperature and humidity are accurately controlled by thermostats and humidostats; and they are lighted by fluorescent lamps. One room is capable of holding 3,000 samples in duplicate when tested by the blotter method, or 670 samples in sand test. The best equipment available is used in connection with the purity work (Fig. 6) ; binoculars, Iowa air blast separators, sieves, Boerner seed sampler, Chain-o-matic balance, and special neon lighted counting plates. Complete and accurate records are made and kept of all operations in the laboratory. These records are on permanent file, so that they may be referred to readily. Purity and germination samples are retained in a systematic file, usually for at least one year beyond the receipt of the sample in the 2.
