Incoming seed is examined to determine embryo count to help decide how much seed should be sown, and/or which capsule would be the best to sow. Permanent sample slides are also prepared. Each separate package of seed is examined because these are generally from separate capsules, which is what we request from our donors.

Seed Assay Number:		1375
Packet Code Number:		1A01375XX
Harvest date:		11/21/2001
Received as:		Dry seed
Date Received:		12/07/2001
Number of Capsules Combined:		4
Comments:		Seed is golden brown to the naked eye, and lightweight and easily becomes airborne. Moderately large seeds are long and thin windsock, serpentine, and have medium sized elongated embryos centrally located which are 1/6 the length of the seed. Seeds with bad or no embryos are much smaller.
Seeds that appeared to have good embryos, by count:		68%
Estimated percent good, by volume:		75%
