The law states that "each separate container of agricultural or vegetable 

 seed, including seeds in small packets, shall be labeled"; but if a dealer 

 has bulk lots of seeds exposed for sale and these bulk lots are properly 

 labeled, he shall not be required to copy the information from the label on 

 to each individual bag in which he delivers small lots of this bulk seed over 

 the counter to customers. 



* "Current year in this sample labeling nieans the month and year of the last germination test which must 

 be stated and be within nine (9) months of the date the seeds are offered or exposed for sale. See par. 5 

 Section 1 of the law itself."
