Feather River Experiment Station, Plumas County. The seed beds with wire sides and tops 1/2" mesh (bird and gopher proof), Lath covers and burlap. Barn in the background. Seed beds are 4' x 12'. Germination tests to check those made in the greenhouse are made here in these beds. The tests sometimes extend over two seasons. The first season the bed is gone over every day and the second season once a week. As there are 200 seeds in each test, every seed equals about 1/2 of 1%. The total % of germination is carried forward on the card each time the count is made
